Modern cities fare against the

tinguishments, marking their progress
from medieval towns. At the begin
ming OF tho seventeenth century moo
turnal London wa In darkness. only
relieved here and there by lamps set
BY some householder above their
doors, and by torches Of = few link
boys. But London was as well light
ed at that time as any city In the
world. or we never should have heard
OF the London boom. or OF present ng-
ures Of London's population. making
the bitter drop In New York's over
flowing cup Of Joy. London doomed
while its streets were dark. for the
very good reason that they wore no
darker than tho streets Of any of Lon

more. az the records attest. because
it was nrst among the cities introduo'

But did the New York park depart

or even a part of them, had been food
trees that bore fruit or nuts? The
dead trees In New York's parks and

many. BY this system of philanthropy

ford help in providing bodily susie
The dead tree vas probably worth
three dollars in fire wood. The living
food tree would bear fruit OF nuts
which would be worth at least ten dol

it would be as helpful as any other
as an adornment and shelter, and
after it was dead 1t would be worth
as much as any other for fire wood.
In addition it would brighten the
parks and parkways with its pretty
flowers. Would Ii not be better to
plant food trees in New York and let

County Commissioners Meet.

At the meeting of the Board Of Comfy
Commissioners on Tuesday last, the
Sth inst, petitions we're presented to
them for road improvement throughout
the county. Brunswick officials asked
that aid be extended to them in contem-
plated Improvements which will be made
in the town limits. Feeling that the
city government was not in a position to
do the work all by itself and that all of
the citizens of the town had for years
been paying into the county treasury
about s., 900 a year, for which they re-
ceived no proportfonate return for the
same on the roads.
The total cost of the Improvements will
be 81, 500, of which the county is asked
to give Sc, 500. All of the work will be
in the corporate limits of Brunswick.
Residents of Petersville and Bruins
wick petitioned the Commissioners for
repairs and improvements to the road
which leads from Petersvile to Bruins
wick.
Some opposition to the improvements
has developed and the commissioners
have received protest against the
granting OF the petition.
Another petition was from some OF
the residents in the neighborhood of
Reichs Ford, asking that road be
built from the ford in a southeasterly
direction to Mark Markets. barn. The
petition was signed by Mr.. H. B. Wit
ter, George /. Kaufman, George w.
