Seattle must raise $10,000 if it is going to hold up its head with Tacoma and with the state, both of which are aiding in the move to buy this inter-city recreation spot for us all. This money is wanted by August 1. Unless Seattle “steps on the gas” not going to get it. Scores of Seattle business men have been donating all their time to soliciting for the park. Many busi- ness houses have donated printing and other work. Sixty volunteers sweltered. thru one of the hottest days of the year building a road into the park. Hundreds of folks, who could ill afford the donation, have contributed their dollars. But thousands, who ought to “do their bit” toward pulling Seattle and Tacoma together by putting the park across, are lagging. Hundreds of men—and industrial establishments— well able to afford donations of from $50 up have shown no disposition to come forward with them.
