topsoil and an alternate bid which to replace the existing tennis

Gottsacker, consulting engineer, to check the rate of absoY:pta ors
of water in pond excluding the normal 10 of evaporation. All nemberr
voted in favor. The barb wire and boards in the area were cleared
away by members of the park department. The proposal for Pilot Feenb
Park remains the same as discussed in previous meetings.
OAK CHASE: The proposal is to build a double color coated lerinic
court fenced with two gates. It was suggested that the fence poets
could be buried in concrete which would provide a constant ground
to N.S.P. wires which run parallel to the tennis fence. Cost of
Oak Chase Park will be paid for by Park Dedication funds.

a motion that the addition to the Rahn wall be included in the curreni;

soggy field conditions were discussed in both parks. Myrel Lundste

of Rahn and Woodhaven fields to determine if further work should
be done to remedy the problem. A brief discussion of lighting ball-
fields was held.
RAHN PARK BUILDING: Mr. Lundberg and Pierce appeared to present
3 alternate schemes of the proposed park building. After discussion
of all three alternatives, it was decided that scheme 3 should be
