CIVIC CENTER FOR MILWAUKEE,
Important Municipal Improvement
Project Planned.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
The civic center of Milwaukee will start
with the city hall. 1t will include the
public library and museum building at
it's southwest extremity, and extend as
far north as State street. Almost at its
center the Auditorium building will stand,
and at either side. with we'll lighted
boulevards the municipal and county
buildings will trail away. until they
meet with the large residence district
of the vest side.
This is to be the civic center proper.
but in addition there will be other CEN
tiers, situated where they may best meet
with the needs and requirements OF
the portion of the city they represent.
An east side center will be erected, pos
sibly at Grady and Cass streets, while
a north side district may be stationed at
18th street and North avenue. Residents
of the south side will find their center
at Greenfield and 18th avenues. while
still another may be located at Bay

States This material has been prepared
for publication In the form of year

alton. 1t shows that in the last three
wears the number of cities maintaining
supervised Fairgrounds has Increased
from 9O in 1907 and III in 1908 to 335 in
the summer of 1909. In these $50 cities

with practically $3.50 play leaders and

The figures for the fifteen largest cities
that have been maintaining Fairgrounds
are particularly interesting These cities
are as follows: New York, Chicago. Phila-

Recommended by Commissioners.

The District Commissioners have rec
commended an appropriation of $4,000 for
toilet and storage house and swimming
pool a Georgetown. and 5000 for the
same at Rosedale, and $4,000 for equip
ment, maintenance and supervision of
all the Fairgrounds. We appreciate that
under existing conditions they were fore
ed to arbitrarily keep their estimates
within certain figures. but it would in
deed be a misfortune if larger amount
is not appropriated for the childrens
Fairgrounds.
We sincerely hope that the appro-
priations committee will at least see its
way clear to allow the items of $1,000
and S1s.OSo and a sufficient sum to pur
chase ground for at least one new play
ground and provide funds for the renting
of two additional Fairgrounds. The 9TH
GERS of our association will be pleased
to have the opportunity of further pre-
senting this matter to the subcommittee

Light on the Farm.

From the Scientific American.
The introduction of tungsten lamps Is
doing much to advance the use of cleo
tricity on farms 1t is possible for the
farmer with small plant, driven either
by gasoline engine or by damming a
small stream. to obtain sufficient current
to light his house and barn with this
economical type of incandescent lamp.
The of electricity on the farm. by
the way. is growing, and. as pointed out
by the Electrical World. farmers will in
time come to consider electricity neces-
sity. Then it will be found profitable to
establish central generating stations for
farming districts to take the place of the
small individual plants now being in
stalled.

fore Judge Mann. together with
Ethel Brown, May Hays, Della and

Both the Morgan woman and
Ethel Brown were charged with

proved to the court she made her
living in a hair dressing parlor,
that charge was dismissed. She
was Immediately arraigned for dis
orderly conduct and was convicted
and was fined s25 and costs. Ethel
Brown was tried for the same Of
Tense and fined $40 and costs.
The cases of Charles Anderson,
