Subject: Withdrawal of Myllykari Playground Structure, No Public Notice
1. Background
The Myllykari playground structure was installed at Niemelä Street recreation grounds on 21 June 1931 per order 22516 (TimberWorks Model 8B, natural pine).
Routine quarterly inspections from 1934 to 1937 noted only minor repairs: tightened bolts, replacement of handrails, one repainting completed September 1935.
2. Incident and Review
No specific incident is recorded as prompting its removal. Annual site surveys by ███████████████ (Report: MW-177/1938) included only ‘general wear’ marks. A subsequent clerk review (Procurement Voucher 1127-JN) cited an ambiguity regarding location transfer to ███████████.
There is no ███████████ at Niemelä Street or adjacent areas; repeated reference in file documentation and on reporting forms persists.
3. Clerical Corrections and Storage
A directive (Transit Records Hall, 8 August 1939) ordered corrective annotation of all references to ███████████. However, both procurement and █████████████████ for the Myllykari item repeated the error independently.
Structure was transferred to municipal supply depot, logged under ███████████████████ (signed by Tarmo Lehtinen, shift supervisor, 10 August 1939). Stored in covered yard, bay 4C.
4. Expenditure and Non-Disclosure
Disbursement totals for removal, hauling, and storage, as set in Budget Allotment 132/1939, came to ██████ (receipt enclosed). No notice or public recall was submitted, per NTDO directive issued 6 August 1939, following on prior internal consultations.
Press queries were redirected to Inspector M.L. Helminen as per standing order. No external comment was provided.
5. Related Records and Correspondence
Relevant record IDs include DA-1974-2004-R and DA-1970-2906-M, together with cross-referenced memos in the Central Procurement File (see enclosure list). Notably, the ███████████ error resurfaces in attachments, despite separate clerical processing.
Morning shift notes for 8 August and supply transport manifest both record the structure transfer as ‘███████████’.
6. Procedural Next Steps
Pending procurement review set for 22 August 1939, the █████████████████████████████████████████. Any further transfer or disposal requires written sign-off from ███████████████.
Transit Documentation Office recommends periodic check of all forms referencing ███████████ until end of calendar year.
7. Administrative Closure
Final disposition of TimberWorks Model 8B to be recorded in Quarterly Review file, Room 212. Any further correspondence referencing ███████████ is to be flagged and forwarded for consolidation in Series CS.62.
Routine review scheduled for route inspectors beginning the following week (bus route #14, Raatihuoneenkatu to Långvik).
