Cost of cam pine out is coins up The Stale Transportation Commission has proposed an increase in state parks camp ground fees effective with the 1974 ramping season. As approved by the com mission, campground fees in Oeeon's state narks will be increased from $1 to $1.2 for unimproved lenl sites, from $2 to $2 50 for improved campsites, and from $3 to $4 for fully-equipped trailer sites. The proposed fee increase is expected to raise about $335,000 annually and will offset a chronic deficit in the state parks operation and maintenance budget. The def icit for the 1972-73 fiscal year was $388,000. The new campground fee Swim team sccEts public support Heppner vs. Prineville in swim meet?

Kennedy & Associates of Eugene revealed that an overwhelming majority of Oiegonians-both campers and nnncampers-believed that users should bear the costs of operating and main taining state park campgrounds. swim team, as is the case with any newly founded organiza tion, needs sponsors (money) for swim equipment.
