cheap CITY improvements.

Oar city may be .bcauiifed, and rem
dered more inviting to strangers, and
coy and homelike to It's residents. even
IN bard times, and without money. Ex.
tensive gradings, costly public or private
edifces, heavy manufacturing establish
ments, new and extended channels OF
trade require capital, and may have to
await some future food-tide. Bnt sone-
thing can be done nor.
Whoever has walked up Jefferson
Avenue, Detroit, or Euclid street, Cleve.
land, or Wabash Avenue, Chicago, on
fine summer day, must have reioiccd
IN the good taste and approved the wise
policy which has impaired SO much of the
GOODNESS and freshness and beauty Of rural
scenery to these piles of brick and mortar.
Look down from some elevated point
upon such city in clear june morning,
or thread Its streets in an August after
noon or evening, and how you are de-
lighted and attracted by the verdurc and
shade, the air Of coziness and taste, the
evidence of public spirit and civilization
which can make "Forestn or "Garden"
proper prefix to the word city.
But 60 up, any summer morning, upon
the Estes House, or the Medical College,
and search fer ddetabblle OF even siupis rows
Of shsde-trees, lining any enc Of the thor
eughfares Of our own city. Fhe laws Of
necessity or the hand of vandalism has
leveled the old fores, growths. Shall they
not be replaced 7 Ii only one occupied
street in town we're adorred with beautiful
and thrifty shade-trees, well-planted and
we'll eared-for. the example would be con-
tagious. Beauty, comfort, and the money
value of property would demand for other
parts Of the city like attractions.
And now, as another seasons opening;
as there are surely persons who would
cheerfnlly donate from the forests, on one
side Of the river or the other, young trees
sufficient to line at least. one street; as
there arc persons enough who would
furnish conveyances to transport them I
and as there are men, women and children
in any number who would take delight in
helping 70 plant them Why can we not
have some day general, working Fsc-nic,
an old-fashoned "bee', and get some one
street at least Of opr city lined with we'll
selected young shade-trees, under whose
cool shadow citizens and strangers, our
selves and our children, may learn to love
better the city We have all chosen for our
home. And another year tho same thing
could be repeated upon some other thor
oughfare.
