Although the promoters of the new en- terprise will not make any statement as to what the canitalization of the concern is, they freely admit that they are go- ing into the project on no small scale. Besides the practically unlimited re- sourdes of Senator Clark’s son, Bowle owns much of the property over which the new road will run, including Coyote Point.
