Lynbh, Business Manager stated that if this area was relinquished it would not be maintained as a park.- Occupancy would be re- stricted to students. If not used for turf, the gardening department intended to plant other than lawn to reduce the amount of work required to care for this area. This information was advanced to the Coun_ cil before making their final decision regarding relinquishing. _Opinion was divided, some thought it would be an expense to the City and Councilman Granger stated the Recreation Commission had need for more parks in the City and residents used this small area. A plan should be worked out to indicate that it was for the public. It was decided to investigate and report back, Mayor Herder appointed Councilman Granger and also wished to serve with him to get the matter straightened out.
