Volume of Park Board Commissioners proceedings for the year 1890. This volume is a typewritten transcript, prepared under the Federal Works Progress Administration, of the handwritten meeting minutes of the Minneapolis Board of Park Commissioners. Some important elements from this years’ Proceedings include ordinances spelling out what was considered “quiet, orderly and suitable use of the Parks and Parkways of the City of Minneapolis by the people” (an example: “No person shall ride, propel or drive any velocipede, bicycle or other vehicle propelled by the feet or hands, or both, of the rider or person carried thereon in any park.”). On August 5 an ordinance was passed authorizing the Minneapolis Street Railway Company to construct and operate an electric line along Hennepin Avenue. This report references "Lake Calhoun," a Minneapolis lake now known as Bde Maka Ska, the Dakota language for "White Earth Lake."
