Going strongly on record as oppos

TOURIST CAMP

OPPOSITION TO BOND
ISSUE SHOWN
PLAN IS BEFORE CLUB
".Merry Go Hound" of Opinion A
To Sites anil Financing Continue
Standardization Plan Current
Through Xorthwot Favored.
Indications of a trend toward the
Idea of a self-supporting tourist park,
financed originally by tho Commer
cial club or by a holding company
rather than by a bond issue on tho
part of the city, appeared through
the gloom of tho old "merry K
round" of conflicting opinion as to
sites, financing and management
which characterized yesterday's dl
cusslon or the subject at the forum
luncheon.
Almost every site discussed last
summer and earlier was again advo
cated by someone. Including tho pres
ent camp, the city park, city owned
land east of the railroad track an!
Shevlln Park.
That a bond Issue for the purchase
and improvement of a park for this
purpose would be defeated In an elec
tion was stated by Councllmen Clt
bert and Fox. Gilbert favored the
Improvement of the south half ot
the city park, while Fox discussed
tho possibility of a camp paid for by
subscription and supported by a
charge.
Uniformity Favored
Standardization of accommoda
tions and charges throughout the
northwest, with the tourist paying
upkeep at least. Is the present move
ment. Secretary Antles stated. Con
ventions for discussion of this sub
ject are scheduled at Spokane, Jan
uary 7 and at Roseburg in Febru
ary. A plan for a centralized bureau
of Information, classification of
camps as to accommodations and fees
fixed accordingly, will bo brought
up, he stated. The tendency Is to in
sist that the tourist shall par for
maintenance at least, and possibly
for a sinking fund which will event
ually pay the Initial cost of the park.
Agree On Present Slto
H. H. De Armond, chairman of the
meeting as well as ot the auto park
committee of tho club, outlined the
situation, and stated that the new
committee agrees with the last one,
that the present site Is the only one
feasible. Tho tract now used, e
longlug to the Bend Company, may
be purchased for $3,500, he said, and
an adjoining tract for $2,000. At
least $7,000 would bo required to im
prove tho park.
Mayor Gllson, when callod upon,
stated that he couslders a cam
ground an absolute necessity, and
promised his personal assistance la.
securing one. E. P. Mahatfey de
clared that the plan of using the city
park would greatly deteriorate the
values of land In that part ot the
city. T. H, Foley declared that ho
was opposed to saddling the camp
ground on the taxpayer, and endorse
the plan of bavins It provided bar
subscription and supported by fees
from the tourists.
