Letter from Stephen Tyng Mather to the Juniper Lake Resort Company

Letter from Stephen Tyng Mather to the Juniper Lake Resort Company

In reply to a request for information on what improvements the National Park Service plans to make in Lassen Volcanic National Park, Director of the National Park Service Mather reports that unless the recommended $5,000 appropriation is included in the civil bill considered by Congress, it will be impossible for the service to make any improvements to the reservation during the next fiscal year. Mather notes “with interest” that the road from Chester, California, to Juniper Lake has been completed, and hopes that the Juniper Lake Resort Company’s plans for further improvements are successful.

Letter from John Edward Raker to Stephen Tyng Mather

Letter from John Edward Raker to Stephen Tyng Mather

Representative Raker has heard that Director of the National Park Service Mather was unable to visit Lassen Volcanic National Park during his first trip through California. He hopes that Mather will be able to visit the park in October, as it will be an ideal time to do so, and his constituents greatly desire such a visit. A. L. Conard, Chairman of the Committee for the improvement of the Lassen Volcanic National Park, would particularly like to speak with Mather. Raker feels that such a visit would help enhance Mather’s future presentations to the Committee on Appropriations as he continues seeking funding for the park.

Letter from Stephen Tyng Mather to John Edward Raker

Director of the National Park Service Mather would be glad to take Representative Raker’s suggestion to meet with Arthur L. Conard regarding Lassen Volcanic National Park when he is next in California. He is not sure, however, if this will be as soon as October, as there is pressing national park business that will keep him in Washington for the present.
