PARK CONCESSIONS
CONTRACT IS LET
TO RICHMOND FIRM
Virginia Skyline Co. to Fur
nish All Facilities in
Shenandoah.
ST, ,250 ANNUALLY PLUS
PERCENTAGE PLEDGED
Company Will Spend Approx
mately $500, 900 for First
installations Made.

After year of negotiation to estab-
lish tourist camps and concessions in
Shenandoah National Park, the In
terror Department today awarded a
20-year contract to the Virginia Sky
line Co. of Richmond, which would
give them virtual monopoly of all
such operations.
Nearly a year ago, after futile ef-
forts to persuade private capital to
invest in Shenandoah Park ccnces-
sions, Secretary Ickes threatened to
maintain governmental operation. The
park is said to be more popular with
tourists than any other in the country.
The contract with the Richmond
concern will net the Interior Depart
ment $l,250 annually. plus a per-
centage of the net profits in excess of
6 per cent on the invested capital
The company was prepared to spend
approximately $4,000 for initial in
stallation of accommodations for the
public. Additional investments will
be required from time to time to meet
demonstrated needs of visitors. The
concessions will range from lodges,
camps and cafeterias to bath houses,
stores, filling stations and automobile
and saddle-horse transportation IA
cilities.
Intoxicants Are Barred.
The Richmond firm also was au-
thorized to sell magazines, post cards,
souvenirs, tobaccos, ETC., but intoxi-
eating liquors were barred.
Secretary Ickes has taken under
advisement the question of establish
ing the Skyline Drive, a portion Of
which is in the Shenandoah, as a toll
road to defray the cost of mainte-
nance. This proposal brought so
many protests from Virginia Cham
bers of Commerce that Ickes held up
final action, pending study to de-
termine which parks now charge mo-
torists for the privilege OF using
roads.
The contract gives Secretary Ickes
power to prescribe all regulations. in
cluding those covering charges and the
character and standards Of services
and accommodations.
No date was announced for the
beginning of construction, but it was
understood the work would begin as
soon as weather permits. Secretary
Ickes must approve all plans for the
tourist camps and other concessions.
As far as possible, souvenirs to be
sold in the park will be limited to
articles of native handicraft Of the
Appalachian region.
ID. C. Man Other Bidder.
The only other bidder for the con-
tract was Robert A. Nordblom OF
Washington, who offered lower per-
centage of net profits.
The more business done In the
park by the Richmond concern, the
more revenue the Government will
receive under a highly technical scale
of percentages covering a period Of
years. In addition to the $3.50 an
nual rental, the firm Is virtually guar
anteed per cent on its invested cap
ital. If the profits are in excess of
that amount, the company will pay
the Government 26 per cent Of above
6 per cent for the first five years, 7
per cent for the second five years, %
per cent for the third, and 20 per cent
for the fourth. There is an additional
agreement to pay higher percentages
on net profits exceeding IS per cent
on the invested capital.
