It's wonderful place isn't it? Can't you yourself

Yes, it's wonderful place, and it wonderful
idea.
But here's where wake up.
We took up the matter of the common folks summer
estate yesterday with the state park board at Olympia
And found there wasn't $4,000 in their safe-and
hadn't been for years.
Our only income, explained Clark " Savage, board
member lis from the fines of volators picked UP by the
highway patrol And we have only $4,000 on hand,
with the expenses of maintaining several other parks to
out of that I'm afraid it's impossible.
Undaunted, but disappointed we again got in touch
with Fowler, the administrator of the estate.
"AIr. Fowler told him. "the state park board has
only $4,000 in its Golfers and cannot buy the site for the
folks summer estate Can't get the heirs to
donate it to the state?"
Fowler smiled
There are more than go of Them he said Did you
try get 60 people together anything wouldn't
even attempt it. It's hopeless Why don't you raise the
money by public subscription? Let the people buy their
own park"
