Trail development paused by lack of funds at Shoshone cavern
Cody Wyoming April 12 Further development of the trail to Shoshone cavern known locally as Front cave is impracticable in 1918 due to the $5000 appropriation for national monuments being inadequate. The National Park Service asks $14,800 for protection during the next fiscal year starting July 1 1918. Funds will be sought and plans kept ready for when an appropriation is approved. Sue Holm’s has pressed the project with the Interior Department and Baker.
