the question of finances for the park
He pointed out that should this area
be selected 1t would be a playground
for 35,000,000 people" Col Smith
admitted that Virginia would lose a
certain amount in taxes. but added:
But where you lose 81 in taxes.
you will take in 1000 from the tour
lists who would visit the park. were
1T established here. I understand
tourists left something like $1,000, 900
in this section last year. Were your
mountains to become national park.
the tourists would spend a hundred
million dollars here every year"
Touching upon the question Of
what the Government would pay for
such an area, Col. Smith completely
denied reports that have been circu-
lated among the mountaineerS to the
effect that the Government would
drive out every property owner and
conflscate the land. He also corrected
the idea that the Government expect
ed the State to buy the property and
present it to the National Park Com
mission gratis.
How to Help Gauss
1T is true, however" he continued
that 1t would be of infinite help to
this area should IL be recommended
for the park area, If you could come
before Congress and say that Vir-
Einia was willing to do its share
that your State would offer the Gov
ernment a part of the area as n gift.
If you could offer n part of the land,
am sure you would increase your op-
portunity greatly"
George Freeman Pollock, owner OF
Skyland. one Of the best known
mountain ranches in the East, who
has declared that if the section is Sc
lected he would throw his property
ION the table and offer il to the Gov
ernment at the Governments own
price" called on the diners to get out
among the mountaineers Immediately
and persuade them to sell their prop
erty at the prices they paid for IT.
Representative T. w. Harrison, who
is expected to father the movement
to establish the park in the historic
Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia,
when IT reaches CONGRESS. recited
some of the history OF the section.
He said that it was first surveyed by
George Washington for Lord Fair
fax and that it's name runs through
the earliest story of the birth of this
Nation. Referring to the dinner last
night, he added:
Returning to Capital.
The presence of so many distin-
guished and representative citizens of
Virginia at this table tonight typifies
the interest that is being shown
throughout the State in this move,
ment. We have the territory, we have
the history and We are going to have
the park"
This morning the committeeman
and their guides were once more deep
in the heart of the Blue Ridge, en-
route to the famous Black Rock sec
tion near Waynesboro. Late this af-
ternoon they will emerge near Staun-
ton. 80 miles distant. and end their
inspection of this area for the pres
ent. They will return to Washington
and prepare to leave Immediately for
