Recreation Uses on 



Los Angeles Municipal Camp, Angeles National Forest 



on hand to direct the work of the camp. Each camper is expected 

 to help with the necessary camp work, which averages something 

 less than one hour's labor a day. The bungalows, beds, and food 

 are supplied by the city; also transportation by rail and automo- 

 bile from Los Angeles to the camp (about 85 miles) and return. 

 This entire two weeks' vacation, house, food, and transportation, 

 costs, under war conditions of 191 7, $8.50 per person. After par- 

 ticipating personally in the camp of 191 7 I can testify that the 

 accommodations are clean and comfortable, the food wholesome 

 and abundant, the surroundings delightful; and I am reliably 

 informed that the city had a balance of profit left at the close of 

 the year's operations. 



Several other cities have taken leases on other Forest tracts 

 for similar use, so that this form of municipally directed recrea- 

 tion bids fair to reach a considerable popularity.
