Dear Mr. Parent:
The ordinance for the Department.of Public Parks, in the amount of
$7,000.00,.is for funds to purchase.fencing around the two tennis
courts-that will.be built at LaSalle Park and for an outfield.fence
around the softball field at La Salle.
It is my feeling that the tennis. courts are definitely needed at
La Salle Park since this park is heavily used and the`.closest tennis
courts are at Harrison. The estimated cost for-the tennis court
fencing is .$5,000.00 and .$2,000.00 for the.softball field. As you
are aware,.tennis is.one.of.the` fastest growing participant activities
in the area and.the Park.Department is making an effort.to construct
additional tennis courts throughout the city:
Very truly yours,
