Vtilson Property The hearing regarding the purchase of the Wilson property
Hearing w.as called. Representatives from the various community
clubs were asked to attend. Those appearing were Messrs.
Gregg, Schiel, Harjung, and Earl Anderson from Falcon Hts;
Utecht and Kelly from Northome; Henry from Larpenteur ~;anor;
Panzer from Hollywood Court; Telander, Otis, and Hustrulid
from Rose Grove.
Matteson informed the broup that the council was consider-
ing the purchase of approximately 7 lots at the corner of
,Snelling and Idaho. This land is at present being used as
a reservoir for drainage water. The land would continue to
' ~ be .used for this purpose. However, it iras the thought of
the council that the land could be further used as a skating
rink in the winter, and during the dry part of the summer as
a soft ball diamond. Some time in the future when the land
would not longer need to be used as a reservoir for drain-
age water, it could possibly be converted into a park or
playground. Considerable discussion followed and it was
fExnally decided to appoint a committee to investigate the
overall need of the village so far as parks and playgrounds
are concerned. The committee apoointed is as follows:
Glenn Harjung, Chairman, C. K. Otis, Chas. Gillett, and
Bob Rowell. The committee was asked to give its recomnienda-
tion on September 13 as to the possibilities of the Wilson
property as a playground should it be purchased by the u
Village Council.
