The brlck'walls, sheltering the in terior fromLthe .weather, preserve the woodwork and furnishing for many years. The brick house, costing but little more to build than the frame, is by far the more economical to maintain. The ex terior does, not aieed to be paints ed. '"The walls" do riot depreciate.

Attempts have been made to cre ate Interest enough in the camp to secure the appearance of 'the tirst city band concert at the grounds, . according t'j the plans ot Homer II. Smith, chairman of the community house committee. Originally the house was de signed to be of merit, a display of honor for the community camp ground. Plans were agitated, moneys secured, the building erected in record time, but in the end it remains padlocked, unused and occupying good space at the entrance of tne auto camp. Originally the . . community house was designed for the pur pose of staging exhibits of the agricultural : and industrial pro- ducts of the city, to provide a I place for lectures and other ad vertising schemes with which to tell the world about the 'greatest center of the earth. r Practically all the exhibits are prepared, but the furnishings of the rooms are not completed and as a result the use of the building is forbidden. . , Seats, chairs and tables have been donated, but not received at the Community house to make up for; part of the interior equip ment. The house cost aproximately $1400 and is idle, while at least 20 cars pass through the grounds each night, thus allowing an op portunity to slip by unused.
