HARTINGTON-A movement is underway among Hartington businessmen to promote creation of a park on the F. C. Radke farm, occupied by Lee Porter, 11 miles east of Hartington.
Lloyd Lynde, Ralph Smith, County Judge E. W. Hesse and Work Director Frank Kendall are among those enthusiastic about the proposal, which will be discussed at the Hartington Chamber of Commerce meeting Thursday evening next week.
The FERA has already built one dam across the wooded ravine which would comprise the proposed park, and Kendall believes that two more dams would create a permanent lake on the place.
The park would take in about 60 acres of woodland and pasture.
He believes that both labor and materials for the project, and $10 an acre towards purchase of the land, can be obtained from the federal government under the new work program.
