At the first meeting of the SPIA all present were voted in as members with no initition fee. Scott, Leach and Snow were elected to the board of directors. The SPIA voted to place a watchman at the gate on Sunday and Wednesday to stop trespassers.
The land which is now the golf course was purchased from Mr. Waite for $4,000, which was paid for by a loan.
