How Would You

A municipal summer camp for

This was the suggestion ad-
vanced Monday by Major Hugh
NJ. Caldwell In letter addressed
20 the board Of park commission
ers. The mayor asked that a com
mittec be appointed TO investigate
the feasibility OF the plan.
A suitable site could be OBJ
tained In the Rainier National
Park. according TO Caldwell.
The establishment OF such a
camp by the city OF Seattle would
enable the many Seattle residents
who do not possess automobiles
or the means with which TO pay
for an outing In the mountains TO
enjoy rest and real vacation"
the mayor declared. TT. cost
