He had been thinking of tennis courts, but upon checking found that this would not be allowed. Mr.-'Karth also explained that Lino Park has been a joint effort of the City and the Lino Lakes Lions Club. The Lions Club has met-their obligation for the present time and the City is now responsible for what is done there. ' The Lions Club has had the parking lot put in, backfields graded, bought the trees that were planted in front of the park. Mrs. Averback questioned the Park Commission on the trees. She said that she was upset that most of them have dies already. She said that she had watched them being planted and wondered why a professional was not hired to plant those trees? Mr. McLean said that among those doind the planting were some professional landscapers. Mrs. Averback asked if a pleasure skating rink could not be put in at Lino Park. She understood that there,-had been one at one times. Mr. McLean said that if they put the skating rink back in the outfield would be in worse shape than it was this year, that lot Us so low that drainage is poor in many spots. Mrs. Averback asked if it could not be put closer to Luther's property? Mr. McLean said that that was where it was originally and did not work out at all . Mrs. Averback also asked about getting the speed limit lowered on Lake Drive. She feels that the speed that is currently allowed is much too fast and wants to know the proceedure to get it lowered.
