Here An Account Prepared BY Lawrence Swain Concerning

ously by the late Avoh Ward OF Monteo.
Much money has been contributed by Dore

deemed Of great importance along this coast
Recognizing the Importance of

The committee met in Buxton

AS first order of business the

ing Lawrence L. Swain as Chair
man and Alvah H. Ward, Jr., as
Secretary. Mr.. MacNeill agreed to

tourist industry as being promoted
by the National Park Service and
our local government; what these
effects would be if certain i'm
provements could be obtained; and
in cooperating a brief history of

sions shown.
The Board of County Commits
sioners appointed, at the request

tional Rivers and Harbors Con-
/ gress and recommended Mr.. Ward
