Noven'ber 25, 1969 Appropriations and commitments for the expansion of the Cradock Community ~enter were made to us, but as of this date~ no action has been undertaken to enlarge the center to meet our needs. Shrubber~ on the corner of George Washington Highway and Bainbridge Boulevard makes it impossible to see the oncoming traffic before entering the highway. Moving the shrubbery back approximately 5 to 10 feet would eliminate this prohtem. The wading pool in George Washington Park requires badly needed repair.
