Establish Rest Room.

Delavan, IN Walworth county.
the little city on Trunk Highway
No. 70, has seen the need of a
public rest room for the tourist
traffic and established one in the
heart of the city. In an article
which appeared in the December
18th issue of the Delavan Enter
prise, of about a column in
length, the statement is made
that it is one of the most vital
additions to any city that can
be made. If they see the need in
this day of automobile traffic.
then what would be the result if
Eagle River closed up her public
rest room? Since the establish
ment OF a rest room in Villas
county's capital, it has become
one of the best assets in the vii
lage. Now, if this resort section
wishes to add another big adver-
tisement to this country of lakes,
woods and bully good roads, let
there be public camping ground
established before the 1920 seas
on opens. Marathon county has
put one in operation and Califor-
MIA and points on the coast have
had them for years. And they
find it is a paying proposition.
This is a good proposition for
the Commercial club to work up
on this winter in conjunction
with the county board and re-
sort owners.
