Suburbanites After the Park Board

matter of prohibiting carriages and other pleas
ure vehicles containing packages, from passing
through the parks. continues topic of great
interest to the people of West Arlington and
beyond, on whom it falls most heavily, says
the Baltimore Hen aid. Petitions are being
freely circulated and signed which appeal to
the board to either alter its construction of the
rule or rescind it, in so far it applies to pleas
ure vehicles containing necessary packages.
All that is asked, those persons most interes-
ted say, is that the gatemen and other park at
PENDANTS be given discretion in the matter.
AS soon as the petitions have been sufficiently
filled up q committee of citizens will wait upon
the Mayor and president of the Park Board
and ask that Especial meeting of the Board be
called for the purpose of reconsidering the ac-
ton taken at the last meeting. 1t will also be
asked that interested persons be permitted to
make oral statements before the Board to show
the great inconvenience the order subjects Cit
liens to, and those spoken to appear very SAN
guine that when the case is properly under
stood the Board will rescind its former action.
Wide Tires and Good Roads.-Doubtless
the best way to keep an earth road, or any
road for that matter, in repair is by the use of
wide tires on all wagons carrying heavy bur-
dens. Water and narrow tires aid each other
in destroying streets, macadam, gravel and
earth roads. Narrow tires are also among the
most destructive agents to the fields, pastures
and meadows of farms, while, on the other
hand, wide tires are roadmakers. They roll
and harden the surface, and every loaded
wagon becomes in effect road roller. Moth
ing SO much tends to the improving of road
as the continued rolling of its surface. Tests
made at the experiment stations in Utah and
Missouri show that wide tires not only i'm
prove the surface of roads, but that under or
binary circumstances less power is required to
pull wagon on which wide tires are used.
A "Potter's Field" for Baltimore Coun-
ty.-The Canton Company has offered to sell
a tract of land containing onehalf acre to the
County Commissioners for use as potter's
| field. The offer was made in letter from Mr..
Walter b. Brooks, Jr., president of the COM
| pany The Board has ordered the removal
| of number of bodies buried at Canton on
| private property. During the past few years
| many paupers have been buried indiscrimi-
nately in the vicinity of Highlandtown and
| Canton, and several examinations of bodies
have been made when excavations were going
! on for new buildings. 1t is expected that the
Board will accept the offer of the Canton Com
pany to sell the land. There is burial ground
at the county alms-house, near Texas, but it is
inconveniently located.
The Promising Daughter of Great
Street.-The Baltimore american of Friday says
the last of the big trainers to leave Pimlico for
the Grand Circuit is Harry Rites, who departed
yesterday for Cleveland, where he has Belle
Kuser, 2:112, entered in the PIP trot. Belle
| Kuser is looking as fit as a fiddle and the
critics who have watched her work on the
| Pimlico track expect great things of her in the
| fast company she has gone to meet. For the
| past few days she has been going easy miles
with fast quarters in 1901, and Rites is confident
| that she will be able to land bunch of money.
Belle Kuser has won several races around Bal
tmore and has made such splendid showing
| that the horsemen here are willing to back her
heavily when she appears in the races.
Petroleum in Baltimore County.-The
| break in the pipe line extending from the oil
fields of Pennsylvania to the water front at
Baltimore, occurred near Upper x Roads,
| Hartford county and it is said by the COM
| pany's officers at Canton that between six and
eight hundred barrels of oil escaped before the
break was discovered. This crude oil, or at
least most of it, flowed into the Little Gun
powder and the people along the stream for
miles below collected large quantities of it
| from the top of the water and will use it for
various purposes, such as mixing paint for
| outbuildings, etc. The odor of the neighbor-
| hood was not improved, however, by the sud-
den advent of the oil.
