Inclusion of Diamond Lake Into Crater Domain Recommended
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. - The director of the national park service, in his annual report to Secretary Fall, has renewed his recommendation that the Diamond Lake region north of the present boundaries of Crater Lake national park be included within it. This has been favored by the interior department for several years.
It is stated that unless early action is taken the granting of summer homes to individuals and the leasing of sites for small business purposes will impair the region for ultimate inclusion in the park, where individual concessions are not granted.
Senator McNary introduced a bill to annex the Diamond Lake area to the park, but differences arose between the forest service and the park service, and objection was made by some of the grazing interests.
The director's report notes that a new era has arrived at Crater Lake with the acquisition of the hotel concession by a group of public spirited citizens of Oregon, with an 80-room addition under construction which it is expected will be completed and furnished by the opening of the season of 1924.
