"Village Council
Richfield Village Hall
April 28, 1952
Dear Sirs:
Several years ago, the Richfield Police Department formed a Police Youth Ac=
tivities Commuttee composed of Department members. The purpose of this committee was'
to raise some money through the sponsoring of boxing matches at Woodlake School.
This money was to be used at a later date for some recreation equipment for the chil-
dren.
We felt the need had presented itself at Augsburg Park where there -is no play-
ground equipment of any kind. We have contacted Burton Storm, Director of Recreata.on,
and received his approval for the installation of swings there. '
The swings are now instal7.ed and the a3epartmentanembers would like at this
tune to present these swings to the Village of Richfield, hoping that they :,rill provide
enjoyment for the children for many yeai°s.
These swings are presented in memoriam of Fred Babcock, a Richfield policeman
who assisted fellow officers in the sponsoring of the boxing matches. _
Sincerely yours,
Floyd Roman
LeRoy.Poulterp
