The tourist camp, how to provide
for the pleasure and comfort of camp
ers and how to get the greatest pos
sible benefit from the tourist travel
were matters that received much at
tention at the meeting of the board
of trade yesterday f. f. Stone re-
ported that during the past week the
official register maintained at the
camp showed that PSI cars had been
accommodated and that 1862 tourists
had spent the night here. He also
stated that a considerable number Of
tourists stopped on the camp ground
during the day of which there was no
record on the register and suggested
that a register be placed at a conven-
lent place with a sign requesting the
owners of all cars to register. Re
garding the parking of cars, Mr.
Stone said that he had made a care
full investigation and was convinced
that if the ground was marked al
lotting a space 20 feet wide for each
car which was sufficient for car and
tent that go cars could be accommo-
dated on the present tract.
President Mackey suggested that
permanent committee be appointed
to visit the camp daily to look after
the welfare of the tourists and that
this committee should arrange for de-
liyering a copy of the daily paper to
each car every morning. After much
discussion and the offering of various
motions and amendments, a motion
was finally adopted embodying Mr. |
Mackey's suggestion. with the excep- |
ton that f. e. Stone was made per-
manent chairman of the committee |
