tion of a 200-acre park directly north of White River between College Ave. and the Monon Railroad. Since first announcement was made of the proposed memorial in January this year, the 200 acres have heen improved, partly through WPA labor: ‘The commission will visit Indianapolis and recommend to Congress what appropriation will be necessary to construct the memorial and maintain the park.
