E AT AUTO PARK NOT TO BE ASKED THIS YEAR No Elf fort to Charge Tourists Under Statewide Plans To Obtain Until Next Season. The Oregon City Auto Park grounds, will attempt to inaugurate no system of charging for accomodations this year, according to M. D. Latourette of the park committee. A movement started in Oregon City was carried to completion at a convention in Rose burg about six months ago, to form an agreement among the cities of the state for a uniform system ot fees at the auto camp grounds. Few of the cities who entered the association are inaugurating the fees this year, according to City Attorney O. D. Eby, who represented Oregon mttr ty,a. orniTonHnn. fine of the reasons for this is that a number of next year, the conditions of the roads to the camp complicate matters. There is no, hard surface . road direct to Hawley park and the committee does not feel that the fee system would be satisfactory in view of the difficulty attendant upon reaching the camp. As soon as the South End road is completed and a paved highway leads to the grounds, it will be easier to se cure sufficient patronage to justify the charge. Mr- Latourette believes. The Oregon City camp ground has had a number of improvements made and has a number of conveniences that are outside the list provided in the stand are equipment, -The extra expense above the con tributions made individually and by the city, is being defrayed by the Sat urday night dances at the park. These have met with considerable success and it is regarded as certain that the operation of the place will be fully as sured until next year, when the inau guration of the regular statewide charge sysfem is expected.
