Legislative Members Believe The
Project Would Pay For Itself in
Ten Years
POWER COMPANY HOLDS
KEY TO THE SITUATION
Asks th Sum of $4,000, Just
What the Corporation Paid for
the Land, Is Report

The joint legislative committee ap-
pointed at Madison to investigate the
Dells project has reported in favor of
the state purchasing the famous seen
ic section along the Wisconsin river.
The committee also reports that it be-
lieves the project would reimburse
the state in ten years for all that was
paid. At the present time every
tourist who purchases a ticket on
the river pays for the privilege of
seeing the sights, over and above the
passage on the boat. This money
goes to those who own the canyons
and who keep up the walks In case
the state should scharge something
like 25 cents person the total would
amount to- no small sum in the course
of a decade.
Power Company Has Key
The report says the Southern Wis
consin Power company holds the key
to the situation. The corporation has
extensive holdings along the river.
purchased in order to have the rights
of flowage. The report says the pow
er company desires $70,O00 the
amount which has been paid for the
land. One of the tracts is the large
island in the river, made by the main
stream and the small amount of wa
ter which flows to the west through
the old channel.
The people of Kilbourn are anxious
that the resort become/a state park
and few weeks ago entertained the
members of the legislature, making
trip up the river. To make the
Dells state park would greatly add
to it's value in an advertising way
and besides the public will possess
equal rights to the beautiful region.
The report of the joint committee
named to investigate the matter Of
purchase now goes to the finance COM
mittee for further consideration. The
total amount required to purchase the
Dells is not stated

denied that there was an insurance
