Necessity for City Parks.

ut is a sin boarding on a crime"
says a writer In Casters. ito con-
tinue to construct cities extending
over miles of territory in dense forma-
ton, without incorporating effective
means for cutting of the course Of a
c~onfagration after 1t has escaped
ordinary bounds and restraint.
Cities should be divided into sec
lions not exceeding one mile square
by parks and wide parkways. These
will not only serve al IRE barriers
but will add greatly to the health,
comfort and happiness of the people
and the beauty Of the city. This sys-
TEN provides a break In the continu-
ity Of the building mass. thus making
it practically impossible for a CON
flagration to spread over miles OF ter
ritory before checked.
ut would be much easier to stop
= fire at the parks and parkways
than in a solid mass of buildings. The
cutting down of trees and s~hrubbery
would be much easier, safer and more
effective than the destroying a line
of buildings, and the loss Of a mile
or two Of the parkWay's adornment
would be a trifling matter In compare
son with the loss which would be
caused by the destruction of an equA
area OF buildings.

TRUTH ABOUT THE SUBURB
in Theory They Should Be Well Gov
erned, But Frequently They
Have Their Troubles.

In theory, small cities and big vii
lagos which are composed largely OF
the residences of men who do business
and earn their living In a great urban
center which carries along and sus-
tains these suburbs, ought to be models
of good government. They should be
very efficiently guarded, supplied with
whatever necessaries local Off Gals are
expected to provide, and kept clean,
we'll paved, we'll regulated and con
tented.
Such communities are not too big for
wide-awake citizens to watch their
public business closely. They are free
from many difficulties which great
cities must face. In the nature of their
Industries and commercial interests
and the mixed character Of their popu-
lation. In theory, the suburbs have
all the better of such comparisons with
their big neighbors.
The practical tests of experience do
not work out that way. Suburbs are
often full of troubles. They have more
than their share of wrangling and bit
terness and discomfort, in politics and
government. Often the local admins
tration In such municipalities is costly,
extravagant and inefficient.
Many great cities have seen their
growth promoted and their legal linn
ats enlarged. time and again. by the de-
sire of suburbs to have better local
government than they seem able to get
for themselves. They join great cities
TO improve extremely unsatisfactory
conditions.

OF CITY BEAUTIFUL
Aside From Aesthetic, Commercial
/ Benefits Are of the Greatest
Importance.

= In n recent city planting congress
in London reasons enough were given
for the identifying Of towns. One,
however, and an important one. was
not, we believe, mentioned. This IS
the commercial benefit which accrues
TO q city which has become famous for
the beauty of its buildings, he istas
~Sunfolded by It's streets, Its public parks
and gardens, For ages Paris has been
known as the playground OF he civil
lied world. Not only have countless
thousands visited it for its ancient
palaces, it's storehouses of art treas
ures, and its historic associations, but
because of the more modern beauties
of its architecture, Its b~oulevards and
its parks and pleasure grounds. But
many of the ancient buildings which
delighted the eye of the artist have had
to give way to the march Of progress
and the needs of today. So Paris Is
trying to beautify it's modern features
that some of it's landmarks of the past
will not be missed.
So strongly do the Parisians believe
In city Identification as an investment
that the municipality has been author
lied to borrow sits, 900. 900 for this
purpose. A part of this, $4,000. 900,
has Just been raised by an issue OF
bonds, which, In spite OF labor dif1cul-
ties and other obstacles, was oversub-
scribed twenty times. At least two
leading thoroughfares are to be greatly
extended, new parks established n
new government buildings erected.
In America the chief opposition to
Improvements of this sort are likely to
come from the classes which would
most be benefited by them. Chicagos
chief claim on visitors Is its system OF
parks and ~boulevards. There Is no
telling how many of our guests are at
tracted by these splendid driveways
and pleasure grounds. The Chicago
plan, which commercially may be
looked upon as an expensive dream OF
Missionaries, would, If carried out, be
the city's chief asset. Not only would
1t conduce to immeasurable benefit and
delight to those who live here, but 1t
would attract millions of people from
elsewhere, and these indirectly would
help pay for It's cost and maintenance.

When the cellar of g grocery store

was found. The can had probably been
in the cellar for 20 years, but the
contents were found to be in perfect

now looked upon him as nm able de-

succeeded In driving from the billion
