Toll Road
Much Criticised

Many criticisms of the outrageous
tolls charged over the Dollarhide road
are heard. Autoists will welcome the
advent of the new even grade now
being put through the Siskiyous, be-
cause they can feel they are not the
subject of graft. Tolls are now be-
ing charged for about any amount,
according to the size of the auto or
rig, according to the size of the trav-
eler's pocketbook.
In conversations with tourists who
have just been jerked loose from a
fat toll, we find that they do not
have a very happy memory of the oc-
currence. In fact, most of them get
behind their cars so the ladies won't
hear and make very forceful argu-
ments against the tollgate manage
ment.
The day when toll will not have to
be paid will be happy one through
out the mountains.

Firemen to
Have Helper

In all probability new man will
be added to the local fire department.
Grisez and Robinson are the only
men employed at present, and the ex-
ira man is needed greatly. AS it is,
neither man gets any time off during
the night and day, as both are re-
quired to stay at the fire hall. If a
fire should occur when one is absent
1t would make a mixup, for it takes
two men to handle the fire truck in
action. One must drive while the
other takes care of the tanks and
chemical apparatus. Both the mer
that we have at present are very ca
pable and have made a fine showing
SO far, everything being kept in the
finest of order.
1t is too great requirement to
ask these two men to pen themselves
up night and day, without chance
to get out of sight of tho fire hall
so the council has take.l the matter
into their hands and will probably
appoint another man for the place.

Where Should the
Springs Be Located

There are two fair locations for the
springs and park development. The
first contemplates the Plaza and
Chautauqua parks. The other, and
the one most favored by the commits
sion until Wednesday, was the forty
five acres comprising the tract for
merly owned by the Carter estate.
This tract begins at the planning mill
at the head of Mill street and runs
up the canyon to just above the pic
mic grounds. If the upper park was
used it would be necessary to ac-
quire considerable property across
the creek. There is little flat ground
in the upper park suitable for chill
dren's Fairgrounds, tennis courts,
etc., absolutely indispensable to the
successful carrying out of a tourist
playground. For the past two weeks
the commission has been engaged in
an attempt to acquire necessary
grounds between Granite street and
Ashland creek, above the planning
mill for these purposes, but have ut
terly failed to get prices that will
justify the plan. AS soon as the
word went out that the commission
contemplated such a move property
owners showed up their prices SO
that, the way the matter now stands,
the upper park project is impracti-
cable of successful handling with the
amount OF funds available for park
improvement. So the upper park prof.
ect has been practically abandoned
by the commission. The Plaza park
and Chautauqua park are mostly flat
ground and no doubt sufficient
ground could be secured at the right
price for the purpose along the west
side of Mill street for tennis courts
etc.
Another bar to the upper park i'm
provement is the old planning mill
property which stands directly across
the head of Mill street. 1t presents
an unfortunate bar to development
beyond, for which no one is particu.
larly to blame. 1t is controlled by
the Carson-Smith Lumber Company
who are willing to deed the lot to the
city if the springs commission will
provide another lot and have theil
mill on it. That is as fair a proposi-
tion as the springs commission could

Many Tents
In Park

The park has rapidly filled up this
week with tents, until now it looks
like little tent city. Camping in the
park is especially fine this time of the
year, and it makes things very handy
to attend Chautauqua. 1t prevents
the great amount of hot walking that
is necessary to be done to live at
home and walk to and from entertain
ments. When one camps in the park
with the rest it is just as If all the
campers are one great big family, for
the evening fun that they have is
very enjoyable. Here with a mo-
ment's walk they can reach the Chau-
tauqua building or attend the round
table It's fine. Put up your tent in
the park and enjoy life a little bit.

ask, but the fact remains that NOV
ing the mill and buildings to a new
location is an expensive job and
proves out of all proportion to the
size and value Of the bare ground to
be acquired. This fact, coupled with
the excessive prices asked for other
property needed to carry out a COM
prehensive plan in that neighborhood,
looks like permanent bar to further
consideration of the upper park in
which to build the fountains and
make the needed improvements.
The commission would like sugges-
tions from the people, through the
Forum column of the Tidings, on
this important situation.
