available to make a repetition less
strenuous, he said.
Coal companies report to the mar
keting department that anthracite sup
plies in Wisconsin are far under the
winters needs of the state. They are
said to have advised, however, that
sufficient soft coal supplies will be
on the docks and distributed to COM
panies to take care of the hard coal
shortage should strike be called.

COMINGS TO FAVOR
STATE PARK SYSTEM
0By Associated Press Leased Wire,

Madison, Wis-Lieat.-Gov George f.
IComings today announced his support
for state park development program,
and as candidate for governor crit
cized Governor Blaine's veto of bills
during the past two sessions Of tie
legislature which would have estab-
lished the Northern Lakes State Park
in Price and Sawyer counties.
IF ! am elected governor 4 shall
recommend the esta blishment of state
parks at the Dells, at the northern
lakes in Sawyer and Price counties,
and if the required land eannot be a :
euifed at a fair price from the owners
1 shall favor condemnation proceedings
to acquire it," Comings said.
Il also favor the project for boule-
ward parkway in Milwaukee and / be-
lieye that such a bill as passed the
1928 session and was vetoed by the
governor should bs-passed in the SEES
sion of 1925. The Milwaukee park
would take no money from our state
treasury.
HAn appropriation of $4,000 for the
Dells park. could in two OF three years
be returned to the state by funds SOB
tanned of cencessionaifes. A large
share Of the funds required for the
Northern Lakes Park will be raised by
popular subscriptions: In a series OF
years our park system may, through
efficient management, be more than
self-sappefAHg.
I'm the year 1921 and 1922, three
million dollars was spent on military
system in Wisconsin. The state should
have spent less for war preparation
and more for recreation projects"
The lieutenant-governer pointed to
the large tourist traffic in Wisconsin
as a source Of revenue to the state,
and which would be greatly increased
through provision for an extensive
state park system.
