Park Is
Big Undertaking
Visitors to the Springs-Stevens
park site near Heath Springs are impressed
with the magnitude of the
undertaking there. When it was announced
that a park, fish pools and
swimming pool would be erected
there under a WPA grant it was not
considered to be a very large undertaking
as the WPA projects limit the
labor funds to $25,000. However, in
this ease other funds were available
and the cost will probably be considerably
In excess of $25,000.
While plans had been made to
close the dam last week and back up
the water bad weather and illness
among employees together with other
unforeseen difficulties caused the
postponement of this plan. It'ls now
thought that the water will be backed
up starting the latter part of next
week.
A recreation building or clubhouse
is now being erected and this build--,
lng will be a two story structure with
dressing room for bathers on the
first floor, a dining room, cloak room
ahd porch on the upper floor. The
building Is forty feet long and twen-j
ty-four feet wide with a twelve foot
porch on the second story. A large
brick fireplace is being built In the
dining room.
As ^ to how much funds will be
available for beautifying the grounds
la not known but plana are under way
to build a gold flsh pool in front of
the clubhouse with a driveway around
the pool. Trees, grass and shrubbery
will probably bo planted in the ureu
which will consist of alinoHt thirty '
acres.
About twenty-one acres wore do- '
nated by Messors Springs anil Stev- 1
ens so that the park will be called the
Springs-Stevens park. Besides that I
i\mount of land It will be necessary to ]
acquire seven or eight more acres"to
back up the wkafer to form the lake i
where fishing will be available. The '
bathing pool will connect with the (
public fishing pool but It will be at
one end and considerably removed
front the fishing area.
Water will be backed up over about
eight aereH or more in the shape of
a letter ".J." The lake to be formed
will be only about fifty feet wide but
several hundred yards long. As yet
till the right of way has not been acquired
but this matter is expected to
be straightened out soon. Besides the
land donated by Mr. Springs and Mr.
Stevens the water will buck itp on
some of the Gardner estate lands.
The big earthen datn has been completed
and this extends all the way
across the hollow. Above it the lake
is to be formed. A concrete spillway
has been erected1 and by raising and
lowering gates in this spillway the
water in the lake can be regulated.
A trench on each side of the dam will
permit overflow water to pass around
the dam without going through the
gate.
Below the dam and on the farther
side from the road the spawning
ponds has already been completed
and three others are about half done.
The fish pools where fish will be produced
are to be about 100 feet square.
Mr. Davis who is in charge of the
I work at this place said Wednesday
I that the work of completing all but
the decorative features would be done
in about four months. As the amount
of beautiflcatlon is not known the
time that is necessary to complete
the entire project is hard to estimate,
j A caretaker's house is yet to be built.
When water is backed up it will be
permitted to stay only a couple of
days and then drained so that the
mud will settle and not wash awuy.
This will be done four or five times.
A crew of almost fifty men have
been at work on this project since
the latter part of last summer. However,
the men have not worked steadily
so that there still is much work to
be done.?Lancaster News.
