Dimensions of municipal leisure service delivery∗

This study explores fundamental policy issues pertaining to municipal leisure service delivery. A conceptual model consisting of primary roles and correlates concerning the municipal provision of park and recreation services was developed with the aid of a panel of experts. This theorettical framework was then operationalized through the development of an attitude inventory that was administered to reference groups (e.g., local elected officials, community recreation providers, and community service organizations). The results of the principal component analysis yielded six independent dimensions including provision of land and water resources for recreation purposes, recreation leadership and programming by schools, community recreation services by government and nongovernment agencies, municipal cooperation with commercial recreation, utilization of volunteers, and fees and charges in the municipal provision of leisure services. The methodology employed in the operationalization of recreation policy iss...

Stream-Gaging Activities in North Carolina During the Past Year

The past decade has been a period of marked improvement in our municipal water supplies and a corresponding advance has been made in the gaging of our streams. Review at this point will give perspective to the past year's work. Stream gaging in this State is a cooperative undertaking between the United States Geological Survey and the North Carolina Department of Conservation and Development. The Geological Survey supplies the personnel, defines the standards of accuracy and publishes the daily flow in annual reports. The State and the Survey agree on the streams to be measured and define the scope of the work. The State may also publish the data. Ten years ago there were 26 gaging stations in operation in North Carolina, 5 of which were equipped with recording instruments and 2 with cable ways for metering. Records were published as late as 4 years after their date of collection. Information was available mostly on our western streams, still undeveloped for power. No data were available for water supplies. Through municipal cooperation with the State this condition was rectified and numerous stations were established on the smaller streams that are so important for such supplies. In this work our State was a pioneer. Now similar work is being done in many sections of the country. On the heels of this work cooperation was established between the Geological Survey and the Army Engineer offices for the establishment of gaging stations in the Piedmont and coastal sections of the State, the latter an area previously untouched by our work. This was a part of the investigation of our rivers authorized by the Congress (House Document 308). Under this investigation our first permanent gaging structures were installed. With increasing annual allocations of State funds our gaging program was built up to a total of 77 stations in 1930. Then with the
