HARTINGTON-A proposal to enlarge and equip Felber Park to make it one of the finest recreational areas in northeastern Nebraska was presented to the Hartington Chamber of Commerce at its regular meeting Monday night by the organization’s committee on Municipal Affairs and Civic Improvement.
After discussion of the program advanced by the committee, the chamber voted to ask the City Council to employ an architectural or engineering firm to study the proposal and prepare a cost estimate.
The committee, which has been studying civic improvements for several months, said in its report that “after conversations with scores of men and women concerning future development of the city” it had reached the conclusion that “one of the greatest needs confronting our community today is the development of adequate recreational facilities, especially for boys and girls and young people.”
The committee also recommended that the proposed enlarged park be called “Memorial Park” and dedicated to the men and women of Hartington and Cedar County who served during World War II.
A study and investigation by the committee into the possibilities of developing Felber Park into a recreational area that would provide ente Gun Club to arrange its trap shooting and skeet layouts. In addition to these facilities there would also be sufficient space for several picnic areas and automobile parking.”
Because the cost of such a program can vary greatly and the financing of such a project would have to be handled as a municipal undertaking through a bond issue, the committee recommended the chamber request information obtained from other cities and towns. This revealed that several of the proposals in the project, especially the swimming pool, golf course and ball park, would be self sustaining financially.
The committee also recommended the remodeling of the main floor of the city auditorium as “another civic improvement.”
“At present, principally because of the manner in which it is constructed, the main floor, the most spacious area in the building, is used very little,” the committee said. “This floor, with a few changes such as eliminating the balcony and removing the permanent seats, could be converted into an area of much practical use.”
