River Park gets rental area

At its meeting Monday night, borough council approved a six-month seasonal lease with Chiques Rock Outfitters, Front and Locust streets, to place a canoe and kayak rental facilty at River Park.
The rental fee will be $100, $40, of which will go to the Old Columbia Puiblic Grounds Company and thr remainder to the borough.
"This will be a welcome addition and will generate significant business," Mayor Leo Lutz said.
The mayor also noted that by having a building at the park, it would deter vandalism such as the bridge pier painting and the breaking of the light fixtures.
