Monmouth Civic Club Turns Project
For Park Upkeep Over to Gty Dads
MONMOUTH Members of the Civic club, Thursday
concurred that the park project be considered completed,
inasmuch as the club has worked actively toward its consist
ent improvement with final con
struction last summer of a con
crete fountain.
The club has asked that city of
ficials take over the future ad
ministration of the park, and that
a park board of three members be
appointed to function in coopera
tion with the city.
It is believed that this will leave
the club free to direct its energies
into other channels. Mayor F. R.
Bowersoz has indicated the city's
willingness for coalition of park
responsibility.
The Simpson house project also
came In for discussion. The Civic
club has accepted responsibility
for acting as a "guardian" for the
house which was recently donated
for a community house by J. E.
Simpson of Boise.
The club hopes to have the house
utilized in future by as many oth
er groups as possible, thus secur
ing financial and general partic
ipation in the project, in a shared
community cooperation.
Suggestions have been made
that this house, centrally located,
would offer convenient club house
facilities for social gatherings,
thus becoming an income produc
ing project. If sufficient funds
could be made available to reno
vate and furnish it.
Another suggestion has been
that a portion of the house might
be adapted for use of the city li
brary, now housed in the city hall.
Mrs. C. O. Sloper of Indepen
dence gave a talk on The Home
in Yuletlde Dress.
Hostesses were Mrs. F. K. Cham
bers, Mrs. Ira Powell and Miss
Hilda Swenson. Mrs. F. R. Bow
ersox presided at the urns.
