TO CONSERVE BEAUTY.
Government Taking Steps to Improve
Scenic Aspects at Niagara.

In June, 1906, Congress passed an act
authorizing and directing the secretary
of war to appoint "a committee of land
Scape architects and Others well fitted
by training and experience to advise him
in deyising such measures as will result
in protecting and preserving and improv
ing the scenic aspect on the American
side of the Niagara river, particularly in
what is known as the milling district,
Immediately below the falls where Il
succession CT ugly factories and power
houses occupy the brink OF the gorge for
nearly Il mile.
Acting under this authority, President
Taft, while still secretary of war, APP
pointed Frank u. Millet. Fred Law Ohm
stead John stephan Sewel and Charles
w NntZ, the latter a captain of engi-
ueers in the army, who have recently
submitted their report to Secretary Dick
iuson. Their investigation was thorough
and they, have already accomplished
much good by moral suasiOn among the
property owners and manufacturers
along the brink of the gorge and they
recommend, as the only permanent sou-
ton of the problem, the acquisition by
the United States of Il strip of property
extending the whole length of the gorge,
not less than 100 yards wide. along the
rim, this strip to be converted into a ma
tional park and reservation as fast as
the buildings now upon it can be gradu-
ally removed.
The committee declares that if pres
ent conditions continue and the gorge
remains in private ownership, not only
will the Disbursements increase and null
tiply. but the extent Of them will in
crease rapidly until the whole gorge will
entirely lose its value from an aesthetic
point Of view.
