the United States. The visiting public is not adverse to paying, and it is

development and operation. Such a system of fees and charges has a number

of problems; however, the cost of operation should be able to be paid for

from the fees collected. 
 
     Rusk County has come a long way in the development of its park and 
recreation program and the needs of tomorrow are going to place additional

burdens on the committee and on the recreation facilities themselves. It

will be necessary for the management committee to better understand the 
problems involved and provide the greatest return for the tax dollar spent

on parks and recreation. 
 
     The Wisconsin Conservation Department is ready to assist the county
in 
planning for the development of its park and recreation areas. To do this

most efficiently, it will be necessary for the county to prepare base maps

for the existing or proposed areas to be developed so that detailed plans

for specific sites can be prepared.-
