The residents of Westmore object to looking into Commercial enterprises. Mr. Andrew: Has the Parks and Recreation Department reviewed this? Mr. Dufour: The Board is unanimous in that they would desire that this petition be rejected. We would like to retain this on the Master Park Plan and we are not going to give it up. We plan on going to the April meeting in Lansing for funds and present them with the plan of obtaining this for parks. We are not in favor of commercial backing into an athletic area.
