AN APPEAL FOR CITY PARKS
Says Board of Estimate Makes Mistake in
Curtailing This Expense.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Unless our Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment retracts its action with regard to the
eight new parks proceedings for the acquisition OF
which that corporate body proposes 20 abandon. II
will place itself record with being infected with
the financial hysteria prevalent throughout the
country.
1t seems almost incredible that the wealthiest
city in the world publicly proclaims she is so pow
erty stricken that she cannot afford such vitality
essential wants as these little breathing spaces will
provide.
Passing by the fact that our municipal bonds are
selling above par in Europe where they are greedy
absorbed by foreign capitalists and not taking into
consideration another well known truth that no
factor has contributed more to the material wealth
of greater New York than her park system no one
will doubt for minute that since the introduction
of apartment houses and tenement flats little parks
and Fairgrounds be supplied for the six hun
dred thousand children of our metropolis. unless we
want them be ruthlessly slaughtered by careless
motormen reckless chauffeurs.
The streets and avenues OF New York are no
longer safe places for myriads little ones to in
dulge in sports and games
In one fell swoop local authorities would de-
prive these helpless wards of the public pure air
sunshine and Out-of-door exercise. For my part
can conceive of no act more unchristIan and bar
barrie
Before resorting to such inhuman measures to
keep the city treasury full there plenty other
feasible plans that and will accomplish the
end If necessary tax automobiles used solely
for pleasure. and other Iuxuries OF similar
But as the present strIngency of the money mar
ket is only temporary. city fathers would do
well not to lose their heads Let me assure them
that there IS such thing as being penny wise and
pound foolish. If postpone purchasing these
eight little parks 10 unknown future period.
New York will then have to pay more than quad
ruple what they will cost.

HORSE SHOW BOXES NOT ALL SOLD.
First Time in Many Years That the Whole

of the arena boxes were not disposed of.
The first box sold went to Judge Moore for $3.50
Last year the first box cost David Morris Gug-
genheim $685. Out Of the eighty arena boxes thirty
five were not sold The tier boxes brought from
$l65 to 500 each Box g. bought by George

the others declining to 500 The Vanderbilts and
Goulds were not at the sale, but had Representa-
