Report of the Commissioners for the Queen Victoria Niagara Falls Park : For the Year 1888 (Classic Reprint) by Commissioners for the Queen Victor Park (2015, Trade Paperback)
Excerpt from Report of the Commissioners for the Queen Victoria Niagara Falls Park: For the Year 1888 From this summary, it will be seen that persons visited the Ontario Park in seven months, or an average of nearly a day. The average toll collected was, therefore, a fraction under two and a quarter cents from each visitor. The astonishment and regret of the Commissioners at such insignificant revenue results are certainly not lessened when it is considered that of the large number of visitors no less than were occupants of carriages, from which it may be fairly assumed that a very large proportion Of them were of the classes in more or less comfortable circumstances, who, it might reasonably have been expected, would have availed themselves, even if at a triing extra cost, of the use of the artificial appliances, which would have enabled them to see and enjoy to the utmost the infinite beauty and grandeur of the great natural wonder of the world.
