He hopes to have a report by the next meeting on this. Mr. Howell presented a map showing ownerships of that section being considered for a park area with suggestions as to stages and areas that might be acquired. There was considerable discussion and it was decided before taking any steps further on the pro. ject we will need to know definitely whether the East Duval, County Mosquito Control District will do the necessary dredging in this area for us. The Committee will contact the EOD.C.M.C. Chairman and see what can be done by them, in the meantime the Council will further study this matter.
