PROPOSED SUMMER RESORT.
Hot Springs to be improved if
People viii Co operate.


William Simpson, who has been
here for several weeks figuring on
improving the Hot Springs, has
completed his plans as to what is
needed to make that place verita-
ble and popular summer resort,
He is somewhat discouraged, how
ever The Florence people do not
seem to t,ke hold of the PROPOSE
tion as readily as he would have
them
What Mr.. Simpson inte nds do
ing is this: Spend 81 600 in i'm
proving the bath house and pool /;
build regulation. half-mile. race
course; erect a hard wood floor
dancing pavilion, with an up-to-
date stage in one end capable of
accommodating any theatrical
company On hot day or even
ing it can be thrown open so as to
have plenty of ventilation. while
during rainy time it can be
closed and made entirely water
proof Other extensive improve
ments will be made. amounting, in
all, to about $1,000
He has already taken an option
of lease on the springs and is
ready to go to work if the people
will give him the support he asks,
that is, to buy season tickets in ad-
vance. This would guarantee him
his expense money, at least, and
would give him sufficient conf
dence that Florence would do her
share toward its maintenance.
He has received proposition
from Canon City to this effect:
Certain parties there agree to build
the race course for him without a
cent OF cost TO him, and the people
will do their share in the advance
sale.
Now it remains with Florence and
her people whether we shall have
this enterprise located~here, or let
Canon capture the proposition.
Mr. Simpson says he eau arrange
with the f Il G. G. for excursions
into the city, so that the resort will
be the means of attracting people
from the District, while at the same
time it will afford place of rec
reaiion and amusement for our
own people.
Whatever is to be done must be
done quickly, as Mr.. Simpson
must know what he is going to do
within week Certainly this is a
matter of sufficient Importance to
merit the consideration of the
business men of Florence.
