PLEASED WITH PARKWAY
Supt. Berry Thinks West River Bank
Will Be Popular. &C. t"'

No driveway in the twin cities and
probably in the whole country excels
the new west river bank parkway for
natural beauty and picturesque scenery.
William M. Berry, superintendent Of the
public parks, drove over the new park
way YESTERDAY. for final inspection,
which also seized as dedication. He
was much pleased with everything. It
will in a short time become the favorite
drive in Minneapolis and eventually
when the plans Of the park commission
have been completed it will be one Of
the most charming in the country: It
skirts the edge Of the river bluff, for q
distance Of fo ur miles, winding in and
out in virgin forest, circling around
or crossing several pretty glens, minia-
ture Minnehahas.
The road has been carefully made and
according to Mr.. Berry is already equal
to Minnehaha parkway and is an ex-
cellent road for horses and automobiles.
For camera devotees there are no better
views to be had in the twin cities than
along the west river bank.
