fiICREATION FEES
ADJUSTED
WASHINGTON No fees
will be charged for the use of
recreation areas in Western
North Carolina’s national for
ests earlier than July 1, Con
gressman Roy A. Taylor said
here Friday.
Forest Service had pre
viously announced plans to
put the new fee
effect by June 1.
Forest officials will use the
30-day postponement ,to re
study fees proposed for 18 de
signated picnic and camping
sites in Pisgah and Nantahala
National Forests. Taylor said.
Hie congressman requested
the restudy recently when he
launched a fight against fees
with federal agencies named
to set up the schedule of
charges.
Ren. Tay'or said he had re
ceived assurance from Peter
J. Hanlon, Supervisor cf Nor
th Carolina National Forests,
Ithat the restudy would be
made with a view toward a
more lenient fee schedule.
It was the originally an
nounced intention of the For
est Service to charge 50 cents
per adult per day for picnick
ing. Taylo- said Hanson had
Informed him this might be
reduced to 25 cents and a
proposed $2 50 seasonal rate
to $1.25.
Certain types of recreation
fees were authorised by the
Land and Water Conservation
Fund Act of 1965. Generally,
these are u*er fees for Indi
vidual facilities.
Under a special of the
law written by Taylor, the J
Great Fmoky Mountain Na
tional Park, Blue Ridge Park
way and principal highways
in the national forests are
exempt from overall entrance
or admission charges. How
ever, user fees may be charg
ed for the use of facilities In
designated recreation aneas
within the parks and forests.
Taylor’s strongest criticism
has been against a charge
fe* n'enicklng. He has been
joined In his fight by a grow
ing numbe** of other Congress
mes and Senators. \
