In recent report to the Commissioners

''Pittsburg has had a system of public
Fairgrounds for the last ten or twelve
years. The initiative in the movement
was taken by the women's clubs OF
Pittsburg, which have been raising some
$4,000 annually for this purpose. Three
or four years ago the city took up the
work, and now owns some six or seven
Fairgrounds. most Of which contain field
houses, though much simpler than the
ones in Chicago. They have received this
year $4,000 for the finishing of a new
playground The contract is about to be
let for the field house. 1t will be on a
much more ambitious scale than any of
the others.
phia are in a unique position, in that they
are under the control Of the supervisor
of children's gardens. They are some
thirty in number. There was a strenu-
Gus endeavor made in the council this
year to secure 100000 to equip a recrea-
ton center like those of Chicago, but the
battle has gone over until next year.
New York's System Costly.
New York has undoubtedly the cost
Hest playground system in the world. The
two and one-half acres of Seward Park
cost the city, equipped, s2,5OO,0eO, or
100000 an acre. About one-half of the
new municipal Fairgrounds had to be
made by demolishing five and six-story
tenements. The remainder was made by
giving the children one-half or one-third
of some existing small park. The latest
playground finished-the Thomas Jeffer-
son-cost the city $3,500.0OO, and the
eleven now finished have probably cost
the neighborhood of 15,OO0,0 900. = he in
terest on $15OO0.0O0 at per cent would
be 100000 a year. 1t is obvious that u
city cannot afford to run so expensive a
plant much below its maximum efficiency,
yet the city is certainly not getting more
than one-half or one-third of the possible
use of these Fairgrounds for the lack Of
$4,000 or $4,000 spent in further equip
ment and competent supervision. The
sites for eleven new municipal play
grounds have been selected during the
past yea" School Fairgrounds in New
York ar, much better managed.
