“BEAUTY ON BUSINESS BASIS”
Slogan For Making National
Parks Self Supporting.
Washington. —Development o f the
economic, as well as the aesthetic
value o f the national parks o f the
country. Is the policy o f Mark Daniels,
newly appointed superintendent o f na
tional parks In the department o f the
Interior.
Through the operation of a carefully
worked out plan Mr. Daniels believes
that not only can the national reserva
tions eventually become self support
ing. but that tbe picturesque value will
be enhanced rather than destroyed by
the placing of "beauty ou a business
basis.” Briefly, the plan of the new
superintendent contemplates the estab
lishment of a "model village" In each
o f the large parks or In so many of
them as tbe patronage will Justify. In
discussing his plan Mr. Daniels said:
“ There Is no doubt In my mind but
that the national parks should be
placed on a self supporting basis. Tbe
people will In time refuse to support
the parks, and we should therefore
take advantage o f tbe revenue produc
ing elements o f tbe national reserva
tlon«.
"M y plan la simply to broaden tbe
fleld for concession and to lay down
simple building regulations to be fol
lowed by tbe gonceasloparlea. wblcb
will preclude Tbe possibility of the
erection o f buildings not harmonious
with the scenic beauty o f tbe parks.”
