NATIONAL PARK
RUSH GREATER
THAN IN 1926
Yosemite Shows Increase in
Visitors of 126 Per Cent
Over Last Year.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-All
travel records to American national
parks are being shattered this year
by tremendous movement of auto
tourists from the East.
With two or three minor excep-
tons, where late SHOWS prevented
opening of the roads, every park
has shown an increase in visitors
over the 1923 record, when nearly
two million tourists visited the nine
teen national parks.
The most impressive gain was
registered by Yosemite National
Park in California, where, up to
July Is, an increase of 126 per cent
in number of visitors had taken
place as compared with the same
period last year.
Increases for other prominent
western parks included 20 per cent
at Grand Canyon, 30 per cent at
Rocky Mountain Park and IS at
Mesa Verde Park.
Yellowstone About Even
Yellowstone Park, the largest, due
to rather late season, was just
even with last years record on July
Is, but since has recorded an in
crease certain to shatter last years
attendance.
The only national park east of
the Mississippi River, Lafayette to
Maine, has shared the travel in
crease, with a gain of Al per cent
over last years figures.
The only park to show any con-
siderable decrease is Crater Lake,
where deep SHOWS prevented open
ing until longs after the usual sea-
son had started. AS a result, up
to July Is, about 10000 less visitors
had entered this park than usual.
Year-Round Parks Few
The exact number of visitors re-
corded in the parks last year was
1,930,865. A total of 38,4040 persons
were recorded as visiting the twen-
ty-seven national monuments of the
country, most of which are located
in the Southwest.
Only four national parks are To-
Gated in climates that permit year
round visiting. They are Grand
Canyon, Sequoia, Yosemite and Mt.
Rainier.

SAYS BRIDGE COLLAPSE
is TOLL OF POLITICS
Former City Official Declares Busness-Like Methods Of
City Manager Government Would Afford Remedy.

Fisheries, today pointed out that
taxpayers are not getting value re-
ceived for money expended under
the present political form Of govern.
ment.
The College Ave. bridge which was
completed in 1905 is an outstanding
example of wastefulness of public
funds, Ritter declared.
Constructed with proper materials
and workmanship, such a structure
should stand for centuries IL it had
been erected on a proper foundation,
he pointed out.
1.-THE inadequate foundation was
unable to withstand the erosion of
the water. Failure to drive proper
piling and protect the piers from
weathering," doubtless caused the
cracking" he said.
1--WE never will get away from
such extravaganza until business
like principles, such as advocated in
the city manager form of govern
ment, are adopted by our city and
county administrations" he said.
THE sinking of the College Ave.
span should be a signal to all wide.
awake citizens to rally to the sup.
port Of the business and professional
men who are advocating the city
mananger form for Indianapolis.
"Lethargy of taxpayers in past
yeras is responsible for the deplor-
able conditions which are forced on
us today. Sinking of the College
Ave. bridge and the precarious con-
dition- of the Central Ave. structure
serve to bring to light the ineffic-
iency with which public officials,
elected under the political system,
handle the peoples business.
I'm old Venice bridges hundreds
of years old are still standing and
serviceable. But our modern en-.
gineering, coupled with political
graft, gives us a bridge which caves
in at the end 70 twenty-five years
service" he said.
