before a large crowd of spectators 4 the acton free press thursday june 23 1966 pounding the sports beat theyre batting the tennis ball back and forth again but its unlikely well see any action on constructing new courts again this year unless theres a last minute surge of enthusiasm the recreation committee fired the first valley by passing a motion asking thv secretary to contact the parks board and the high school board with a view to constructing new courts on the paicel of land classified for parks adjacent to the high school on mill st e back came a salvo from the parks board which replied courts had not been budgetted for this year and said in eflect they thought thx land was not large enough high school board has not replied to the recreation com mittees letter yet but it will be interesting to see how they re spond at one time a grant of 75 per cent towards the cost of courts was available from the department of education provided they were constructed on school property and used as part of the curriculum evidently the board could rent these courts out to the recreation committee when the students were not using them if they wished need for new tennis courts in acton became acute when beardmore and co decided to have the land where the old courts and bowling green were situated reoned so it could be sold to commercial interests they agreed to let the tennis club have the existing lights nets and backstops for the asking provided thev had another set of courts to install them on last vcar a delegation from the tennis club attended a rec reation committee meeting and spokesman george elliott asked the committee to consider tennis enthusiasts in their recreation program without anv attempt to gauge the amount some of the committee members lelt there wasnt enough interest to justify constructing courts in rebuttal mr elliott said this was because the old propcrtx never helonged to the tennis club and they could never carry on a satisfactory program subsequently the recreation committee went to bat lor the tvnnis enthusiasts bv asking the parks hoaul lor a site to install new courts the lack of communi cation between the two bodies cieated innumerable delays and nothing more was done until the recreation committees motion a couple of weeks ago parks board chairman george williams said the board has not given the matter much thought because thev figured it was the recreation commmeus baby ii land in the park was wanted then thev could probablv tind some tor hem its possible the communications problem between the two bodies may be solved if the talked of amalgamation goes through in any event budding tennis players will just have to sit tight and hope something will come of it soon after the event takes place beat
