A MAYORS NOVEL IDEA.
Scheme to Promote the Building of
Cement Sidewalks.

Cement Sidewalks.
Mayor Callaghan of San Antonio,
TEX, has a novel idea for promoting
the sidewalk building campaign in San
Antonio. 1t means no more or less
than the creation of a friendly rivalry
among the wives of property holders
Of the city to the end that they may
be induced to prevail upon their lords
and masters to improve the family
homestead with a brand new cement
sidewalk.
AS a means Of bringing about this
aforementioned rivalry the mayor
proposed to create a sidewalk building
honor roll and not only have the names
of the progressive ones made a matter
of record each month. but to have the
list published, so that all may single
out the city's world compellers from
their less enthrprising n%efghbors. He
believes that this method of bringing
conditions to the attention of the
housewives OF the city will cause them
to become interested and that through
their efforts n material stimulus will
be given the movement.
For instance. the mayor holds that
when Mrs. Blank Cwlose husband has
been negligent to lis civic duty in
this respect notes in the daily paper
that the Blankers just around the cor
ner have improved their residence with
a fine new sidewalk she will take
that aforesaid negligent husband to
task and that the ursllot of the inter
| view will be the addition of progress
i've Mr.. Blanks name to the next
| months honor roll.
The proposed roll will. besides Civ
ing the name OF the latest sidewalk
builders. show the number of lineal
feet they have put down.

TOWN IMPROVEMENT.
How Parks and Fairgrounds Help to
lessen Crime.

Lessen Crime.
The American Civic association is
busy gathering data about city, town
and village Improvement. In Chicago,
according to an article in Suburban
Life, it is found that the opening Of
the south side parks is having a mar
velous effect on juvenile crime. The
figures are not yet completely tabulat-
ed, but the reduction is estimated to
be in excess of so per cent 1t is found,
too, that the effect IN the public health
of such facilities is very great.
A certain district of Harrisburg was
about to be cut out because Of its IN
healthy condition by one of the insur-
ance companies, but after the estab-
lishment of a park in that vicinity the
health of the section so improved that
the insurance company gladly keeps or
with its business.
1t Is much more essential to have g
properly equipped playground for chill.
dIen than it is to have drives and flow
er beds-in fact. the drives and towel
beds may come at the last. though
there should always be park highway:
through the public property set aside
for park purposes.
Sand boxes are easily made and ar
mighty interesting to the children. 4
proper outdoor gymnasium costs from
$1,000 to $1,000, and 1t will at once de
crease crime and disorder and increas,
the public health. A wading pool 70
the children is excellent. The frs
thing. however, usually needed is
public ball diamond and, If possible
public tennis courts, Baths and othe
play and recreation facilities may read.

the game is in the Bowdoin League

boys playing on the Gardiner team
would have been able to be in the
team. 1t is expected that there will
be slight change in the Cony lineup
and it goes without saying that the
home boys will go into the game with
the intention of winning memorable
victory over the down river boys.
