Spencer Park tourist cabins?
• i Tourist cabins might be [ built at Spencer Park if the, [ recommendations of the Wai-; I mairi County works, reserves. and traffic committee are fol-l . lowed through. , The Deputy County Clerk |!(Mr P. W. Chapple) presented : a report to the committee; ■ [last evening which recommended that the County, Architect prepare sketch; drawings and cost estimates! as a basis for further con-; i;sideration of tourist cabins! ,|and cabins with toilet and, I;handbasin facilities. il A prevous report had indicated that the amenities , block already at the park .[could handle as many as 10 Jcabin units. However, it is .[believed that the semi self--contained units would have • more appeal, especially in the off-season. The County Engineer (Mr •
:[A. J. W. Lamb) told the comL mittee that all caravan sites ’; at the park were fully booked ! for the Christmas holiday period, and there was a long : waiting list. I, The committee agreed to recommend in principle the acquisition of the Y.W.C.A. I youth holiday and recreation camp at Heyders Road to facilitate expansion of the ! recreational -facilities of I Spencer Park. The existing building would require some improvements, but these would probably not be expensive. The county property officer i (Mr D. W. Rowland) said that the building had a probable ■ market value of about $lO,OOO. It occupies I.sha of , Crown land, nearly opposite the main entrance to the ■ Spencer. Park motor camp.
