CONFERENCE ON
PARKS SCALED
Governor Harding Calls Same To
Meet In Des MOines, Ia, In
January.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Dec. IA nat
ional conference on parks was called
today by Governor Harding, cooper
ating with the Secretary Of the Inter
ior, to meet in Des Moines January
10, II and i2.
The need for state parks will be the
chief subject to be discussed and the
conference is the first national gath
ering ever summoned to plan how ma
tion-wide system Of recreation areas
can be established.
While more than 5000 invitations
to the conference are being distribut-
ed Governor Harding wants it made
clear that the attendance is not limit
ed to persons specifically invited, for
everybody interested in the conserva-
ton movement will be welcome. The
invitation list includes governors OF
states, mayors of cities, parks Off
ciaIs, and leaders in conservation or
CARNATIONS.
The need for such a conference and
the ground it should cover were ex-
planned by Secretary Payne in letter
to Governor Harding, in which he
said:
II have observed from time to time
suggestions are made for the creation
Of National Parks out of scenic areas
that for definite reasons should be
taken up by the states themselves,
and there are undoubtedly many parks
suggested to the state park authori-
ties that should be taken up by coun-
ties and municipalities. Recently there
has been a widespread desire on the
part Of state park authorities to con
fer among themselves and with the
National Park Service, not alone on
this question by regarding the posi-
bility Of securing uniform state park
Legislation throughout the country and
the discussion Of park problems In
general. The requests for such con-
ference have become SO insistent that
it now seems a national necessity,
promising the greatest results to the
participants and the states they rep
resent"
Secretary Payne suggested Des
Moines as meeting place for the CON
ference because Of the Extraordinary
results in the field Of state park crea-
ton and development achieved by the
State of Iowa under its public park
act" from which the delegates can
learn much.
| Active cooperation of many states
in the conference, notably California,
Oregon, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana and
New York, already has been secured
! by Secretary Payne and Stephen T
Mather, Director Of the National Park
Service, both Of whom are expected to
attend the Conference.

CITY'S PURCHASE
FIRE PUMP ENGINE
WAS DEFEATED
BY AN OVERWHELMING MAJOR
ITY AT THE REFERENDUM
ELECTION HELD YES
TERDAY.

Recently the City Commissioners
purchased a new Fire Pump Engine
outfit at an approximate cost of Sl4,-
10000, and their action met with so
much dissatisfaction on the part Of
the taxpayers that a referendum pc
tition was circulated and numerously
signed demanding an election to de-
terminc whether the people were will
ing to stand for said purchase at this
time when so many considered the ad-
ditional equipment unnecessary.
The election was duly ordered and
held at the City Hall yesterday, re-
sulting in a vote of l20 against the
purchase and 73 in favor Of it,
Considerable interest was manifest
ed in the contest, but there was new
er any doubt on the part of the op-
position as to the result Of the cleo
ton.
