NEW CONCESSIONAIRES PLAN CHANGES AT ILLINOIS BEACH STATE PARK 
a a td elder da Teach or) 
On June 15, 1962, two Chicago realty management officials took over the concession 
to operate ILLINOIS BEACH STATE PARK LODGE near Zion. Under a 10-year agreement, 
they plan to invest $400,000 of their own funds to provide additional facilities 
and make improvements in the 106-room resort, 
Since it was built over two years ago at a cost of over $3,162,697, the Park 
Lodge has been a "white clephant." William T. Lodge, State Conservation Director, 
Said that the new operators, Saul Corush and Jacob Bard, partners in a realty 
management and consultant firm, will build a yoar-around swimming pool, tennis and 
shuffleboard courts, an ice skating rink, and possibly aNINE HOLE GOLF COURSE, 
Plans call for remodeling the Lodge to include banquet facilities and a 
Snack bar. According to the new Managers, the changes will not affect the nearby 
Nature Area of the park, Lodge pointed out that this is the first time a con- 
cessionaire will invest in improvements in a state-owned park, 
--From THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, June 15.
