22 A Plan for the Development of the 



The possibility that other operators might need stables has also 

 been kept in mind, and a space for such stables has been reserved 

 west of the present railroad Y. 



Cemetery 



If Grand Canyon comes to be a town where people live, it is 

 inevitable that they will also die there. And a cemetery is always 

 a necessary item in a community plan. There have already been 

 several scattered interments in the neighborhood, reminding us 

 that we must not delay to make a more sober and civilized provi- 

 sion against such contingencies. 



A pleasant, slightly secluded tract of land, bearing a number of 

 dignified yellow pine trees, has been selected for the town ceme- 

 tery. It lies to the eastward of the village and north of Grand 

 View Road. It is my expectation to prepare a detailed plan for 

 this tract in the near future. 



Aeroplane Landing 



It may sound visionary at this time to include an aeroplane 

 station as a part of a community plan. Yet, unless all signs fail, 

 the aeroplane is soon to be a common instrument of daily business 

 and pleasure. My own prophecy is that this situation will soon 

 be with us, and that the aeroplane will early come to play a con- 

 siderable part in canyon service. Since a reservation for the 

 accommodation of aeroplanes can be made without injustice to 

 any current interest, we may hope that this part of the plan may 

 be passed with nothing worse than a smile.
