some title eit;icr by lease or deed - to Miter on private property
and s�,end public funds.
There being no furthor business l the meeting was ad "ourned in regular G
order at approximately 9:50 P.K.
i
Inasmuch as this particular tract is a part of the 70 -acres discussed
earlier in 'the mooting it, is quite possible that title may be ac
quired sooner than originally anticipated, at which time plans for
the proposed playground could be`definitely undertaken.
