Mork To the Common Council of the City of South Bend We, the undersigned, as the representative youth of this city, have resolved that: Inasmuch as money is being appropraited to save the beauty spots in our city parks namely the Erskine Golf-course end the lawns and flowers in all parks, we will renew our petition this year for a swinnin' Hole in Leeper and Studebaker Parks deep enough and large enough to accom- modate those over 12 yrs of age, Inasmuch as this is the first season that golfers have petitioned for relief from their troubles we feel, this out third petition, should be given first consideration in all such beautifying efforts. Inesmuobas out Natatorium has been condemned and the wall put in by the W.P.A. in the locations where we`have petitioned for P Swinnin' Hole in our previous petitions, the construction cost would be e•rea!tly reduced to the city. :We enclose a sketch of what we deem necessary in Leeper Park. For this purpose we band ourselves. .together with signatures of more then 125 boys and girls to beg recognition of our needs in this matter. We call your attention to the logical spots in Studebaker and Leeper Parks, namely Bowman Creek in Studebaker and what is known as the Lagoon in Leeper Park. Necessary wells for these pools ere either built or in the process of erectiola, They are known as WPA projects. We call attention to the fact that several young men who signed our first petition in 1934 are now serving time in our state prisons. We believe if our first petition had been granted many of these rested lives might have been avoided, because idle hands and minds breed mischief. We believe our welfare to be of more importance to our right thinking parents and taxpayers than P11 the beauty spots and golf courses in the world. Please include wages for proper supervision of these swimming Pools, night and day, in your Yearly budget. (This is a copy of the petition presented to the Park Board. The signatures are in their hands. Please use your influence for favorable action on this.)
