School Grounds 



In designing the new streets and subdivisions of lots I have had 

 in mind the necessity of keeping ample space for the school 

 grounds. While the space now allotted is enough for present 

 needs, it may be desirable to allow for further school enterprises 

 beyond the street to the southward. I have particularly in mind 

 the possible need for a baseball diamond. Other requirements 

 may be discovered at any time, and it would seem unfortunate 

 for a school to be hampered for land in a territory where this 

 commodity is so plentiful and cheap. Should the proposed 

 Tusayan Mall develop into an important thoroughfare at some 

 future time (see map facing page 3), the school grounds as at 

 present laid out would suffer materially. As there would cer- 

 tainly come at the same time the demand for a larger school 

 building, it would seem that the best way to meet such a situa- 

 tion would be to remove to a new site. As a better location 

 can be found farther east, this contingency may be faced without 

 misgivings. 



For the time being the pupils of the public school will probably 

 be best served with a liberal supply of simple play apparatus, such 

 as swings, teeters, slides, bars, giant stride, etc. These can be 

 made by the pupils with the help perhaps of the forest ranger. 

 I have discussed this matter with Mr. T. Earl Wylder, now in 

 charge for the Forest Service, and believe that all requirements 



can be met. 



Livery Stable Zone 



The best predictions which we can now make give the livery 

 service a large part in the accommodation of canyon tourists for 

 many years to come. The stables now used by the Fred Harvey 

 Co. are therefore regarded as a permanent feature of the com- 

 munity equipment and are provided for in their present position 

 with room for exoansion southward.
