If we had plans the city could take a position where the highway should go• By the time the Department of Transportation got ready for the highway they would have to take into consideration the city's plans.

Parkes withdrew his motion and Comm. Downing withdrew his second. After much more discussion, Supt. Dingman felt that a lack of information was had by the Board members.

These designs were made in preliminary form and approved by the Board as meeting the requirements of the master plan and sent to the Board of Outdoor Recreation. Comments and suggestions by then were then negotiated and the design involved that way and the design still meets the requirements of the master plan and then adopted by the city, we are now three years down the road in the construction and nearly complete. Now the Board members want to go back to the beginning he felt that somebody lost touch. Comm. Parkes felt that there was no plan for the highway along the west edge the walk way lighting suggested is not very good and could use more study and the pavillion is going to be built and guidelines would be appreciated ;by the donors and receivers of the gift. Supt. Dingman reported that there is planning plan involved in the design of the park with working the master plan. Provision was made at that time in the design of the park by the city's Planning Consultant for the highway, the master plan was taken into consideration .as to the design of the pavillion and was made available to the designer and is now designed and shortly be constructed in response to the actions by this board in accepting it.

Dingman, Sept. 13, 1973 This letter accompanies a map which indicates the recommendations of the Dewitt Park Committee for plantings.. this Fall '73 and next Spring'74. For the fall, the priority is the -planting of trees south of the fountain area, postponed from last spring. At that time the committee had recommended two tulips and two locusts; however, after the locusts in the park's NW corner suffered damage in a wind and rain storm, requiring. guying and pruning, the committee changed its recommendations in favor of linden trees. These trees seem sturdies and give a more solid shade which the area greatly needs. We prefer them also to the tulip trees. Upon visiting Warren White's nursery, Mr. White made what seems an excellent offer of a large sugar maple. As a large tree is much to be desired, we recommend the purchase of this tree and three lindens, all of which Mr. White is tentatively holding, subject to your approval and arrangements with him. As Mr. White has expressed and shown great interest in the park, we should like to continue to deal with him. I hope this will be possible. Cordially yours, Anne G.
