Hurlbut, secretary OF the park depart
ment, who has been making study
OF such municipal enterprises. ut
would take about 100000 to make
even a fair start here, and the money
problem is one that Detroit officials
must always face. The people are not
ready yet to spend as much money as
would be necessary to get good play

."Why, one OF the Chicago play
ground parks which I visited last
summer must have cost about half q
million. There was park with wad-
ing pool. ball ground, athletic track,
gymnasium and bathhouse. the latter
containing a big hall that Is used for
lectures and nefghborhood dances.
There can be no doubt that these
places in Chicago and Boston have
done great deal OF good. They reach
a class of people who are benefited.
In New York, they purchase small
pieces Of property and make play
gfeHHds~eut- OF them for the children
OF the tenements. They do not at
tempt as much as In Chicago. The
original idea for such places comes
frem the state OF Rhode Island, which
Is dotted with little public parks and
