On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

The closing of the municipal tourist
park on the shores of Shagawa Is being
generally discussed by the business men
and members of the Commercial Club.
As near as the writer can ascertain by
interviewing prominent citizens, the
move on the part Of the city council
closing the park to tourists is a mistake
which will rebound to the detriment OF
Ely and its merchants to a considerable
extent unless the closing is reversed.
While several expressed themselves
as opposed TO the high cost Of main
tenance. it nevertheless was the con-
census of opinion that a tourist camp
site and parking place should be pro-
vided and that at the present time it
will prove a hardship to close the
only spot provided for the use Of tour
lists which embodies modern facilities
for the comfort Of themselves and
families at reasonable prices at a spot

markets. equipped with the finest water.
