each year more consideration Is given
the subject. Finely planted groui. As

slovenly, dirty or Ill cared for grounds
give bad first impression. and the
lack OF improvements or care is quick.

was when railroad gardening was q
mere incidental and the material used
was regarded as such. consisting large
~ Of seasonal beds of flowers. This
style Of work Is rapidly being super.
seeded by permanent all the year round
effects. Today the demand Is for ex-
perienced park builders. and spacious
grounds are being reserved along new
lines OF travel. Town and city off,
Gals should lend all possible encour-

the only glimpse the traveller gets of
some points, even of considerable size

CEMETERY ESTABLISHMENT.
Burial Places Shoi,id Be Made Park
like and Beautiful

While we have cemeteries we shouid
make and keep them az ornate az pos.
sible To this end the ulSernble so
called monuments should be- excluded
and none but works Of art allowed.
In nearly all burial grounds may be
found repetitions OF cheap aud poor
designs which ned both muuutony and
poverty To what h already too gloomy
and conventional All cemetery associ-
atiOns should 50 control the lots sold
as to prevent any work Of low order
or poor design. says II correspondent Of
the Los Angeles Times While the
writer does not visit cemeteries. lac has
certain amount Of compassion for
those who do. aud AZ many consider
these places Ia the same light as public
PARIS they should bc kept up TO n high
standard Of excellence and embelllshed
In every possible way. The day will
doubtless soon come when cemeteries
VIII be abolished 10y law. but those
who favor them may stay the march
OF enlightenment somewhat by seeing
that the entire tract Is really made
parElikc ana the monuments kept
small ard unobtrusive IN size and sim
pie In dcsi~n. The whole effect should
be OF n Garden. not of stone yard.
Many small towns have no tract re-
served for park purposes. and the peo-
pie have been used to regard their 10.
cal burying ground somewhat I'm the
light OF public square. This idea
should be kept IN mind by those In
charge even where park or parks are
present and unusually attractive. A
board OF intelll"ent directors should be
elected who will exercise powers some
what akin TO those OF park commits
sion and see that mu"h OF the same
class OF work Is carried out.

EFFECTIVE TOWN BEAUTIFUL.
Good That Can Ge Done by an Ad.
visory Committee.

VSOTJ Oommlttee.
Some large towns. realizing that all
of their voters were not In n position
TO obtain information concerning the
business Of the towns. have adopted
the oxredient OF nm advisory commit
tee. This committee Is composed OF
some twenty to forty representative
men. whose duty It Is to make thor
ouSh examination OF the business OF
the town ard the needs for the coming
year and report to the entire voting
body Its findings and recommendations.
In that way the voters have laid be-
fore them IN print an explanation OF
the public business. n lucid statement
OF the purposes for which money must
be provided and recommendation con-
corning changes or improvements.
Therein Is hint for civic bodies I'm
places where the town has not such n
committee. No better work can be
done than the work OF investigation
and publication. The great majority of
voters I'm the United States are In tho
dark as to what is going on In public
business and do not know how to vote
except rs hey are told by the politi-
clans. If icy could have authoritative
Information from time TO time they
would take interest and there would
be an Improvement in municipal busi-
ness. Then the civic club can extend
Its operations TO the identifying of the
place. to the Improvement OF It's trans
portatlon facilities. TO it's sanitation. to
the elimination Of grade crossings. to
the abatement OF the smoke nuisance
and multitude OF other good things
for its town. all OF which Will profit
the place in hard dollars. The club
may even devote part of its time and
strength to the selection OF good men
for office and the attempt to elect them.
