EDITORIAL Parks For California In 1928, financing for the State Park System began with the passage ofa $6 million bond issue by the voters of California. Since then, the Park System has grown so California is considered to have one of the best if not the best State program of parks, beaches, recreational areas. scenic preserves, and historical monuments. That the System, now containing about 800,000 acres in 150 different locations, is as excellent as it is pays tribute to Californians of years past. They had the visionto see the necessity to preserve for public enjoyment and use areas of natural beauty and historic importance which were significant to the entire state. In 1960, a three-year study resulted in the California Public Outdoor Recreation Plan. Even now, saidthe report, the 29, 000 existing camping units in California were being overused by 30 percent and by 1980, there should be at least a doubling of the number of these places where tent or trailer camping canbe accomadated. Ina similar way, present picnicking units were seriously overused and an increase to 150, 000 units from the present 58,000 was recommended. : All through the varied spectrum of outdoor recreation, from the neighborhood park to the large State parks, the Plan showed not only present deficiencies but the necessity for prompt expansion to meet future needs. As aresult of this plan as well as other surveys which indicated similar needs, the Governor andthe Legislature, led by Sen. Ron Cameron of Auburn and Assembly . Speaker Unruh, have acted by placing on the June ballot a proposal for $150 million in Park andRecreation bonds. The measure will be number five on the baliot. Of the total amount, $95 million will be for acquisition and development in the State Park System, $45 million for county andregional parks, $5 million forthe small craft harbors, and $5 million for the wildlife conservation program. Of particular interest to Nevada County is the fact that passage of this measure may open the way for state development of Malakoff North Bloomfield State Park, widely endorsed by county organizations, including the board of Supervisors. A map released by the Division of Beaches and Parks last week shows the Malakoff areaasa "new project proposed in acquisition program." There is no guarantee, according to Sen. Cameron, that any specific project will result from passage of the bonds. The final decision will be made by the legislature, with recommendation from a committee composed of two senators, two assemblymen, the Director of Finance, the Resources Agency Administrator, andthe Chairman of the Park Commission. But clearly, the Malakoff project will be under serious consideration, if the bonds pass. Apart from Tocal considerations, it is clear that Californians up and down the state have an obligation to preserve the best recreational opportunities for themselves and those who follow them, in the way that those Californians who have served outdoor recreation in the past have done. It should be noted that if we delay acquiringthese lands, rising costs will if the land evenremains a possibility for_pur=-+ chase ~be,an expense to the state far greater than the interest paid through the bonds which will allow quick acquisition.
