DISCUSSION ON
STATE PARK BILL

The matter of $4,000, 900 appro-
Triation to be used by the state in
park and beach development, which
will be put to a vote in the Novem-
Der election, was the chief topic
brought up for discussion at the
meeting Of the directors of the
chamber Of commerce last night.
1t was brought out that for every
dollar raised by the state dollar
will be raised through private dona-
ton or through some other source.
In this manner &l2,000,000 worth Of
development can be obtained.
"Chicago today is spending 100
million dollars to buy back the
beach, rather part of the beach,
which it could have obtained for
practically nothing years ago. The
Pacific coast is rapidly going into
private ownership and unless action
is taken at once by the state, Cali
fornia Will be facing similar
problem, one of the speakers de-
clarcd.

bcrS of the chamber and valley resi-
dents along the proposed site for the

reported that the plan is a feasible
one but requires more research. He
said that another trip will be made
soon with an engineer included in
the party.
The directors voted in favor of
proposing to the city council that a
more binding ordinance regulating
the direct sale of goods to FL Cen
tro residents by outside interests be
enacted. 1t was brought out that
this ordinance should protect the
consumer against unsanitary handl-
ing of such goods as we'll as the

tion.
