Paris, has grown to be quite an impor-
tant institution. In the earlier portion
of the summer the committee distrlD-

tricts of the city 1920 boxes, as COM
pared with 500 in the preceding year.
These boxes have been intrusted In
every case to persons living in houses
at less than 5 shillings week rental,
the object being, Of course, to brighten
the gloomy surroundings of the courts
and alleys and "mean streets" The
boxes were planted with tasteful Sc
lection of geraniums, marguerites, mas
turtiums lobelias and tagetes. SO far
the amount of care bestowed upon the
plants has been highly satisfactory,

MUNICIPAL DECORATION.
What n New York Society Has Ac-
complished In This Line.

What n New York Society Has Ac-
complished In This Line.
In 1893 the Municipal Art society of
New York was founded with the
avowed object of providing adequate
sculptural and pictorial decorations
for the public buildings and parks of
the city, 1t soon proceeded to give a
practical example of its purposes by
causing the chief wall of the criminal
court room to be appropriately freS-
coed by Edward Simmons. This ex-
cellent work had great effect in calling
attention to the need of adequate deco
ration of public buildings. But the ex-
penses involved drew heavily on the
resources of the society and showed
the desirability of a less expensive and
wider activity in other channels. Ac-
cordingly, when Incorporated, in 1898,
the object Of the society was enlarged
Ito promote in every practical way the
identifying of the streets and public
places of New York"
BY this provision the usefulness of
the society has been greatly increased
It's main achievements since then have
been two public competitions, one for
the model of a cast iron drinking foun-
tain suitable for erection in the public
places of New York at a cost of $3.50
The first prize offered was $3.50, the
second $3.50, the third 800. The other
competition was for a bronze base to
a standard intended to rival the beauti-
full specimens in st. Marks place, in
Venice, and to be erected at a cost of
1000. AS a result of these contests
satisfactory designs were adopted and
presented to the city.
The good work done by the New
York society is all the more noteworthy
because of It's comparatively small
membership, which has never exceed
ed 600. 1t has not succeeded in join
ing together on very large scale the
artists and laymen. This is probably
due to the decentralized condition of
affairs in New York, where the art in
terests, being SO extensive, cannot act
in unison. The greatest service Of the
society is the influence of it's example
in arraying other powerful forces be-
sides itself in the service of municipal

the billboard nuisance. The protest
proved to be very popular, all of those
approached signing it.
The petition says that those who
have signed believe billboards to be a.

ests of the community. One particular
charge leveled against the boards is
that in winter the snow piles up
around them and when it melts forms
ice on the sidewalk, rendering the.
walks dangerous to pedestrians An
other charge is that rubbish of all
kinds accumulates behind tie boards
and breeds disease germs "The
boards" says the petition, towering
high in the air, disfgure our best

most pronounced and unqualified con-
demnation" The signers agree to use
