Much of the cottage and resort development is not of a high caliber and appears

to be similar to a borderline recreation slum. Add to this the fact that
about 
95 per cent of the good water frontage is in private ownership, and the problem

arises as to the need for the county to do something to meet its obligations

for providing adequate water recreation areas and facilities to care for
the 
recreation needs of the public.
