This property is now being held for acquisition by the state at the actual cost price plus interest. Preliminary plans were prepared by the State Architect, in co-operation with the Conservation Commission, after a care- ful study of the systems in Europe and a personal visit to some of the spas in the United States. It was found that two things were necessary—a proper bathhouse should be provided for every hydrotherapeutic treatment which the wonderful waters of Saratoga make possible. Secondly, in connection with the treatment, proper hotel accommodations should ultimately be provided where the necessary diet could be furnished for prop- erly administering the treatments. The erection of golf links and tennis courts adjacent to the hotel property is planned to provide the exercise so necessary in therapeutic treatments. Walks through the beautiful reservation furnish the required exercise for those with cardiac trouble. Winter sports are pro- vided in the plan by the erection of a dam in Coesa Creek with a guarantee of sufficient water for skating in winter and with a PROPOSED EXrENS/ON OF SARATOGA STATE RESERVATION. 76.
