PARKS IN THE CITY
Some of Their Influences on Values of
Property

1t has grown to be a common belief
among thinking men that parks are great
agency in enhancing real estate valuation.
Aside from the artistic feature, the health,
comfort and convenience TO citizens, no
greater factor exists in the matter OF MAX
ing more salable and valuable the surround
ing property than the location and proper
care of a beautiful city breathing place"
AS the study of municipal conditions be
comes more widespread it becomes a mat
ter of wonder and regret that parks are
not more numerous. that in the days agone
our forefathers did not give heed to the
great Importance of an open square here
a wide water front there, a field, a COM
mon, a wide connecting boulevard. and a
comprehensive general system of public
open places. In large cities, where the
open is most needed, the latter day cost
is in all too many cases prohibitory. Again,
i'll so many cities the apathy toward the
necessity of parks and requirement Of park
sites is a lamentable commentary upon the
Intelligence of a community.

city beautiful" was Napoleon Ill Under

Hausmann, Paris became and has ever
since remained the most beautiful and fin

extended mention. IS cost was prodigious,
but the results-the world has applauded

thought cannot be given the subject. There

is to meet from time to time. These
notes are for sums ranging from SIS to
$50. according to the cost of the house
and property, and are payable monthly

payable quarterly. l have never known a
capitalist builder to have charged more

them to make the principal and interest

his home his own. When the family once

and undergo hardships twice as great.
1T Is surprising, but positively true, that
only 2 per cent of the people who en-
bark in the venture of home-buying on
monthly payments ever fal-only two out
of every hundred. The losses of houses
partly paid for are due to many causes,
chief among which are unforeseen circum-
stances-death, sickness and dissensions in
families. There have been a few instances
where the husband and wage-earner has
fallen into the habit of intemperance or has
lost his employment through the failure of
the house he is with.
Influences of Home Buying.
II might here remark that an employee
who has taken the responsibility to build
or to buy his own home, in 80 cases in 100
becomes a more conscientious laborer for
his employer, so as to be sure of promo
ton, or at least retention, and 1 could cite

to make to the agent when the rent is paid
about repairs and other necessary things

Family Takes an Interest.
after acquiring a house on the monthly
installment plan the purchaser begins to
feel his responsibility and so does the
family. They realize that monthly notes
are to be paid, and though they may have
been living modestly, they begin to econo-
miZe and save up. In short time they
often find themselves with enough money
ahead to take up several notes in advance
and save interest. When this is done the
greatest lesson is economy that can be

Hammer the Oldest Implement.
From the Baltimore Sun.


The hammer besides being a tool of uni
versal use, is probably the oldest represen-
tative of a mechanics tool kit The ham
mer was originally a stone fastened to a
handle with thongs, and it was as useful
as weapon a tool. Hammers are rep
resented on the monuments of Egypt TWEEN
ty centuries before our era. They greatly
resemble the hammer now in use, save that
there were no claws on the back for the ex-
traction of nails. Claw hammers were in
vented some time during the middle ages
Illuminated manuscripts of the eleventh CEN
fury represent carpenters with claw ham
mers. Hammers are Of all sizes, from the
dainty instruments used by the jeweler
which weigh less than half an ounce to the
gigantic ffty-ton hammer Of shipbuildlng
establishments. some of which have a fall
ing force eff from 80 to 100 tons. Every
trade has its own hammer and its own way

The lot was originally owned by Joseph
Galloway, who for some msdemeanor for

order of the executive council of the COM
