of nearly all the large European
cities is the many beauty spots in
the very heart of the business dis
tricts devoted to artistic ornamental
ton. Monuments, fountains, floral de
signs, safety stations, etc, etc, and
all are maintained in the highest de
gree of artistic skill. This is espe
cially noticeable in Berlin, Paris
London, Venice, Rome, Naples, and
one might mention every large city
in Europe where land values are
computed by the square foot instead OF
front foot, whole blocks are given
over fer civic beauty. In London,
said to be the most contested city
in the world, where land in the bust
est business centers has inestimable
value, you will find innume EZRA bic
small parks affording breathing
place for the thousands of the mid
die and poorer classes, who for many
hours are cooped up in stuffy tene.
ments or factories, find refreshing
relief and rest in one of these civil
center spots.
