South Side camp project aims to be west coast park
The South Side club in Butte reports six weeks of progress on a tourist park off Harrison Avenue after receiving a $500 gift from the Chamber of Commerce. Volunteers funded roads, a club house, water, lighting, and stoves, with plans for grading, seeding, trees, a bath house, laundry, kitchen, and shower facilities. The president cites tourism as key to city advertising and local economic benefit as visitors spend from 50 cents to 100 dollars, averaging several dollars per stay, as cooperation grows among merchants and residents.
