	In 1892 M. H. Moore, a leading official in the Dubuque Lumber Company, suggested that a syndicate could be formed that would have refusal on the property until January 1, 1893 equal to the indebtedness of the company to bondholders. A second option would be to have the syndicate furnish $1,000 for repairs for a lease on the mill with no no rental payments until profits were earned. The owners of the mill property were willing to take a share of the profits rather than rent. Moore suggested that two local retail yards would like to purchase lumber at wholesale and that a person who had never cut logs before was ready to supply enough to create 20 million feet of lumber.

	The ruins of the mill including the 150 foot tall smokestack remained visible through the 1930s when the area became a Dubuque's [[HOOVERVILLE]]. Residents during the 1950s expressed an interest in preserving the smokestack as a landmark of the lumber industry.

(8) Residents during the 1950s expressed an interest in preserving the smokestack as a landmark of the lumber industry. (9)

	City officials began studying the possibilities of developing the site for recreational purposes in 1962. It was generally agreed that dredging the slough would be the largest cost. Other problems arose. For the state to be willing to stock fish, 20% of the pond had to be at least eight feet deep. A storm sewer located in the northwest corner of the slough threatened to pollute the pond with street sale. Because the pond was within the $5.5 million federal flood control project, its size--about twelve acres--could not be reduced. (9) Attention was also paid to the smokestack. Tuck pointing and other necessary repairs were estimated to cost between $3,500 and $5,000.		City officials began studying the possibilities of developing the site for recreational purposes in 1962.
