SCHEME TO STor Park RUNAWArx

Park Commissioner Clausen received Q
letter yesterday from DR.. n. Y. Sawyer OF 242
West lO4th street suggesting n scheme by
which. so the inventor thinks. runaways il
Central Park could be rendered almost harm
less Or. Sawyer's scheme is that there should
be tower near the reservoir In which would hs
n bell large enough to be heard all over tho
Park Sub-stations at various POINTS along the
drveways andtho bride paths would be con-
nrctsd with the tower by wire. Whcnevera
runaway occurred. any person nearby could
step into n sub- station ana signal to The
tower the exact locality ot the runaway, The
hlg bell would then ring n certain number OF
strokes. the strokes indicating the place whore
the horse WAS running. enabling people TO get
ont OF the way in time. Cards giving tho lo-
calties dicated by the number Of bell strokes
should be given 10 all Park visitors, DIR. sawyer
said The letter also suggested incidentally
that rope nets be kept on snools at different
points along tho drives, 40 that q policeman
could stretch one out in front OF runaway
horse Rni stop him Commissioner Clausen
replied briefly that the proposed scheme was
not practicable.
