<br />RESOLUTION
<br />BE IT RESOLVED - That the Common Council of the City of South Bend recognizes the urgent need of neighborhood
<br />playgrounds in certain residential areas in the City of South Bend, the installation of which would minimize
<br />juvenile delinquency, and eliminate the danger of aciidents to children who now find their recreation on the
<br />public streets of South Bend.
<br />Therefore, the Common Council requests the Board of Park Commissioners to negotiate with owners of land in
<br />residential neighborhoods suitable for neighborhood playgrounds either ona gratis or rental basis, and to
<br />prepare such playgrounds with baseball diamonds, tennis courts, outdoor basketball courts and also furnish
<br />playground apparatus for small children.
<br />It is also recognized that periodic supervision of such playgrounds will be necssary to maintain order, and
<br />to p_;mtect the equipment, and it is recommended that the Park Board furnish periodic supervision over such
<br />playgrounds.
<br />It is further resolved that this resolution be sent to the Secretary of the Board of Park Commissioners, and
<br />that copies be mailed to each member of the Board of Park Commissioners, and to the Mayor of the City of South
<br />Bend.
