The first concrete steps toward the actual work on the proposed Beeson Park in Winchester, were taken at the regular meeting of the city council last night, when a proposed contract between the members of the Beeson Park board and the tenant on the farm at the south edge of the city, for the vacation of the property was ratified by the council.
Tentative plans presented by the members of the board, Dr. J.S. Robison, John Monks, Louis Mendenhall and Francis Simpson, call for the immediate construction of a nine hole golf course followed by a swimming pool, baseball diamond, two hard surface and one sand surface tennis courts, a club house and the laying out of a fine park equipped with benches, playground equipment, etc.
A project application will be submitted to the state ERA office at Indianapolis in the near future, providing for all labor needed in the construction of the park to be provided by the ERA, or it's successor. The estimated labor expenditure in the park will probably exceed $25,000, according to the estimate. All expenditures for material and for the maintenance of the park will be paid out of funds provided for under the terms of the Beeson will.
