the playground park committee
appointed by the local P.-T. A.
Whether the park will be con
structed depends largely upon
the eWA policy for the next few
weeks. If demobilization proceeds
very rapidly, as now seems likely,
prospects are not very bright for
action on the park project.
The city has obtained an op
tion on the Coffey property, lo
cated between "D” and “F”
streets at the rear of the Wilkes
Hospital, as a site for the park.
The city will pay $60.00 per year
for the lease with an option to
purchase the same within 12
months for $2,000.
