the City Council rule in favor of our club, we will be eligible to apply

or a designated park site, if the City would permit this usage. In return
assume full responsibility for the maintenance, landscaping, insurance,
utilities, and the supervision of its operation.
(3) The Garden Club proposes to restore and refurbish this building to its
original period design and make it a historical landmark for the enjoyment
of our community.
