Plans of the city council to estab
lish a new automobile park reached a
crisis Monday when the council wired
to Chas. F. Batchelder, of New York
City, offering $1X000 for a 37 H-aere
tract Just west of town and north of
the Columbia River Highway. The
city will turn in the present 3-a<ro
automobile perk at a valuation of
$3,000, but demanded that Mr. Batch
elder protect the municipality against
its being used for i>ark purposes for a
period of five years. Vpleas these
tertns are met in 24 hours, according to
the message forwarded to Mr. Batch
elder, the city will consider the nego
tiations ended. —
Mr. * Batchelder bad offered to meet
all of the city's terms, but he declined
to restrict tbe use of the present city
automobile park property for more
than one year. His original proposi
tion called for a price of $10,000 on
the 37%-acre tract. O. Ot Huelat, one
of the most enthusiastic proponents
of the new park proposition, declared
that he did not consider that the com
petition the city would meet in caw
private individuals would operate the
<»** park would greatly hamiier the
elty. He cited that Ashland and other
cities, that have established well known
auto parka have had competition to
face. He cited that Mr. Batchelder
had made many c niicwwl u us to the
city, and he gave hie o. k. to the final
proposition including the one-year
restriction.
A committee from the Chamber of
Commerce, including C. C. Anderson,
Wm. P. Allyn and P. L. Tompkins, zu
present and advised against the uieie
one-year reetrlctlon. The committee,
however, expressed strong favor o’
the new park gixieral plans.
Mr. Anderson stated that he had
Just talked with Glenn Sloat, who was
formerly custodian of tbe auto pack,
and that the latter had called atten
tion to the fact that motor tourists do
not like to drive off the highway to
reach an auto park. The old park Is
in plain sight, while the new one will
be ander the hill ont of sight of the
tourist. For this reason it was con-
sldered that the okl park. If allowed
to fail into the hands of private own
ers, would prove serious competition.
Councilman A. B. Bennett favored
tl»e chamber recommendation. 0. A.
Bell addressed the council, declaring
that U would be poor business for the
city to

in competition. He declared that such
action would coat the taxpayers a
heavy sum. Councilman Stranahan
declared that he would wire Mr
Batchelder, if be were dealing private-
ly in the matter, and call the deal off,
unless the city’s offer including the
5-year restriction were accepted in 24
hours. His suggestion was incorpor-
at<"d Into a motion by Councilman
Holman.
<
City Engineer Clark stated that the
city, in improving the new grounds,
would first have to build an expensive
road, construct sewers and lay a water
main extension. He declared that the
funds of tbe municipality would Is*
fairly exhausted In such undertaking.
August Guignard told the council
that he had traveled a .treat deal in
Oregon and Washington the past aev-
eral years end that he had found that
motorists did not like to have the auto-
mobile parks located off the roads.
August Guignard addressed the
council Monday night, asking permis-
alow to construct a concrete settling
basin and storage reservoir on the
Stanton lota on the Heights. The con-
atruction, he said, la needed, in order
that the water plant may serve house-
holders and gardeners front a pressure
pipeline.
Mr. Guignard. cited that the Farm
ers’ Irrigating Co« of which he is man
«ger. Is making extensive improve-
menta all «long its line. New con
struction of flumes, a tunnel and head-'
works improvements, he said, will cost
about $16,000.
Hood River may install a chlorina
ting machine on the municipal water
system, in order to make available the
snpply from Ilakel spring, in the Oak
Grove district, which had to l>c divert
ed from the ma Ina last summer be-
canae of contamination. City Water
Superintendent Clark reported to the
council that the chlorinn tor would
coat an approximate $9fio. The fire
and water committee wan instructed
to Inventigate the plana and report
back to tbe conncll.
