Village of Grand Canyon, Arizona 23 



Special Recommendations 



In conclusion, I have two special recommendations to make upon 

 matters which will have a considerable influence on the future 

 development of the village for which we are now making plans. 



The first of these is that immediate steps be taken by the Forest 

 Service to secure an investigation by competent engineers of the 

 possibilities of water supply, of sewerage, and of lighting for the 

 town of Grand Canyon. 



The second recommendation is that the administration repre- 

 senting the Federal Government facilitate in every way and at the 

 earliest favorable moment the establishment of some form of 

 self-government for the permanent residents of the town. Usually 

 an American community can be relied upon to organize upon 

 its own initiative, but in this case the individuals forming 

 the community change so constantly that organized assistance 

 appears necessary to facilitate growth and secure stability during 

 the earlier stages of development. 



Immediate Improvements Costs 



Some of the specific improvements which ought to be made at 

 a very early date and their cost, as roughly estimated, are as 

 follows : 



1. Improvement of Yavapai Trail, station grounds to Yavapai Point, 2 miles. $300 



2. Shelter at Yavapai Point (estimate low) 200 



3. Seats at Grandeur Point 25 



4. Seats, 120 feet of wall, and other improvements at Automobile Outlook 150 



5. Construction of 600 feet of road from Grand View Road to Automobile Out- 



look, and of parking space 50 



6. Grading grounds on automobile parking space 100 



7. Clearing and grading streets about plaza, approximately 350 linear feet. ... 15 



8. Clearing and rough grading other new streets, approximately one-half mile. 250 



9. Re-forming entrance to Bright Angel Trail 200 



10. Steps and path in Government Park 200
