TAX SITUATION ON NEW PACIUTIU
iBV Park Service New concfarloni (actinias built oa the Parkway with
the >4 million would be subject to the *mm taaaa as liko ImUHm*
outside the Parkway becausr of the restrictions ia (ha M* 'rem
the SUte* to the Federal Government. sK
Comment: Prelimmsry investigation of thia statement find* it debatable.
and « ruling of the Attorney General would ha required. It
appeara that legitimate pritpte entarpriM doted business oa Government
land would pay the usual taxes oa aattial bualaaaa dona, but ad
valorem or land taxea on buildinga situated oa Government property
might not be paid to the counties ia the Mine manner m for Uke facilities
located «u private property.
GOVERNMENT WANTS ONLY FART OF RUSINESS ON PARKWAY
Part Service: The accommodations to be furnished within the
Parkway are bat a drop in the bucket compared to those required by
the I million or so annual visitors.
Comment: Some of t>e Federal officials feel that since the Parkway
la bringing in visitors that might net otherwiae vlalt the mountain
area, private enterprise should out of gratitude be willlM for a
part of those visitors to he served by Oovernment-eponaored places of
business The Government theme "we don't want to run other facilities
out of business much, we just want to run them out of business a
little bit" ia abaolutely lacking lit principle. It seeks its strength ss sn
argument not «n the basis of what is right or what la wrong, but sn
the basis that even if it Is wrong, it is not much wrong.
SIGNS AND INFORMATION
Park Benin: Present signs pointing the way to ths nearest towns
and the »rwM accommodations booklet provide the public with
enoofh information on private faciUtiee. To do eiore would destroy
the unique quality of the Parkway.
Comment: Nobody waata to destroy the "unique quality of the
Parkway," but if it ia destroyed It will ba aa a raault of Governmentaponaored
commercialism within the Parkway right of way. Present
iifu aad literature on the Parkway are coaapicuoasly alaatad to the
advantage of Dm Government placer Communities just off the Parkway
are justified in presalag for equal prominence tor their privately
owned facllltlaa. If there aae no Government hotels and eating places
on the Parkway, eigne pointing the way to the private accommodations
could logically remain email aad inoffeaaive.
PARKWAY BELONGS TO WHOLE PEOPLE
Park Service: The Parkway belongs to the whole people of the
United States. Serving them should be tbe first coaaideration. Inclusion
of hotels and eating places ia the list ef facilities to be sponsored
by the Government is only a mdbns to an end—tbe full realization
by the American people of the true value of the Southern Highlands
region. '
Comment: Tbe Parkway does belong to the whole people of the
United Statee, and one of the first considerations In serving them should
be to provide fair and adequate information regardy the nearby private
accommodations that are continually being expanded and which
are in atep with public demand and basic aoeds. Any theory that
suggests that a person who seta foot on the Parkway la thereby •
ward of tbe Government until he departs is far-fetched and impractical,
aad not in keeping with the original concept of Ae Parkway presented
to the people of North CaiflKA; » »f
BOARD OF CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT RESOLUTION
Park Service: It ia hoped by the Park Service statement to the
Board «f Conservation and Development that fears have been dispelled
that the Federal Government ia planning to compete with private enterprise.
Perhaps the Park Service failed to keep the Board as well-informed
as it should have, which Ifd to the miaunderstanding that resulted
in the Board's October IBM resolution
Comment: The Board of Conaervatlon and Development haa not
acknowledged that a misunderstanding of Park Service intentions exited,
or that fears have boon dispelled regarding Park Service plans
to compete with private enterprise The Board remains on reeord
by unanimous resolution which requests the Secretary of the Interior
to prevent the National Park Service from building overnight lodgings
and restaurants on the Parkway until public bearings on the matter
can be held ill the Western part of the state and a need for such Government
facilitiea la clearly established.
