|
INTRODUCTION
On March 10, 11, 12 there was held at Berkeley, Cal., the third conference of the department officials and other persons interested in the development and administration of the national parks. Two previous conferences have been held, one at Yellowstone National Park on September 11 and 12, 1911, and one at Yosemite National Park on October 14, 15, and 16, 1912. There were present at the Berkeley conference the superintendents of the various parks, the principal Washington officials of the Department of the Interior who handle national-park matters, and representatives of the concessioners, of the transportation companies tributary to the parks, and of independent organizations that have been interested in the problems of park administration. All persons holding concessions in the national parks were invited to be present and all of the railroads tributary to the parks were invited to send representatives. Every important interest connected with the parks, both on the side of the Government and on the side of the concessioners and railroads, was adequately represented. The purpose of the conference was to consider all the questions that arise in the administration of these reservations in order that the department might be able to make such changes in the regulations and to foster such development as might be for the best interest of the public. It should be distinctly understood that the views herein expressed are those of the individuals presenting them, and that the department gives no official sanction to the facts stated or to the recommendations made.
The meetings on the 11th and 12th were held in California Hall of the University of California. The meeting on the 13th was held at the Southern Pacific Auditorium, on the grounds of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The department desires to express its appreciation for the courtesies extended by the authorities of the University of California, by the members of the Sigma Chi Fraternity, and by the officials of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition.
