The report remarks that the annual cost
of such a bond issue 20 the people OF the
district is not quite equal to that OF three

an appropria ton of $500 with which 10

fore. there is to be no permanent cost
to the state. The rapid growth of the
Metropolitan district is described and the
speedy disappearance of natural advant-
ages which have been of great service in
advancing It's prosperity Is asserted to be
inevitable unless they are made into a
system OF public reservation.
Various arguments which have won
public approval for park systems are
cited, but the commissioners believe that
the universal and marvellous growth Of
the park movement is due primarily not
to considerations OF adorning cities or
adding 20 other taxable value. but to the
great and vital need that modern con-
ditions have brought Of preserving TO
the masses Of the people the beneficial
assets provided by nature. Problems OF
drainage and transportation, and protec-
