HILTON Mrs•: Evelyn Carlson appeared before the Council and City Clerk Dodge administered the oathe of office to her as a member of the Park and Recreation Commission. Mayor Hilton congratulated Mrs. Carlson on her appointment and wished her success during her term of office. Mr. Elmer Ross appeared before the Council and presented deed from Daniel R. and Isabella Stafford to property on Hopkins Streets to be used for recreation purposes. He requested that a resolution be adopted by the Council before acceptance of the deed and that the resolution be made a part of the minutes. City Attorney McCarthy read resolution which he had prepared in the event the Council desired to accept the deed and which outlined the purposes for which the property would be used. Councilman Armstrong offered the resolu- tion and moved its adoption, seconded by Councilman Britschgi. Under the question, there was some discussion as to what constituted cultural activi- ties. Mr. Ross stated that cultural activities cover almost anything in the recreation line. In this district, however, the Recreation Commission agreed that this property should be more of a park and a place where one can find relaxation. There is to be no ball diamond or play area. There is to be an activity building which he did not believe would allow dancing classes to be operated because of the size, however, he expressed the opinion that it would be up to the Council to decide that issue but that he did not be- M lieve that if the Council•denied a permit for a dancing class that it would jeopardize the deed. On roll call the resolution was unanimously adopted.
