Estimated Cost Of
Recreational Area
Here Is $153000
Members of the City Council
met with Soil Conservation Ser-
vice officials Friday afternoon
and learned that a recreational
facility on Indian Creek would
cost an estimated $153000. Es-
timated annual maintenance on
the project would be $5525.
Total cost for the reservoir
and recreational area as part of
the Donahoe Creek Watershed
Authority would be $496000.
The federal government would
pay most of the cost with local
funds providing about 31 per
cent.
At present the overall water-
shed plan is being made to in-
clude the area. Two things must
still be determined. The City
would have to determine an
economically feasible plan to
pay off the indebtedness. The
local people then would have to
decide in a referendum whether
or not they wanted the recrea-
tional facility and were willing
to pay for it.
The present estimated cost of
$153000 was an adjustment
from the initial figure of $134-
O00 made by the service. The up-
ward adjustment was made
since the original figures did not
include relocation of part of a
country road and seven miles of
fencing for the entire site. En-
gineering costs were also added.

A Boy Scout Court of Honor
was held Monday evening at the
local fire station.

tenderfoot award and Gregory

ceived certificates and patches

ing up soon.

ing prayer and Alfred Wacker
led in the singing of "America."
