They are dropping 5 wells 1.11‘N in that area and they are putting the hot water to good use already _ running " 1 it all over town.

PAYNE Parks Superintendent 624 Irving Street Telephone 459-6820 or 459-3641 July 7, 1980 Parks Report July 7th, 1980 This has been a very busy season with more ball field to keep up and very heavy usage of the parks. Vandalism and litter still remain the most difficult problems, but hopefully we will be able to stay with our budget. Parks Report July 7th, 1980 Wilson School-- The tot lot is completed with landscaping the grass is seeded and the rest room completed except for signs on the doors. The senior citizen swing will be put in when grass is up, also a picnic table. The tennis courts are just about finished except for the coating and striping the landscaping around them will be the last thing to be done probably this fall. The tennis courts should be ready for play in about two weeks. I expect the project will be completed by this fall six months ahead of schedule.
