says ]. B. Baker. l could easily dem.
onstrate this fact. but we have not
time here, nor do ! think it necessary,
as 1t Is almost self evident Granted,
then. that parks, parkings. clean
streets and everything else that goes
to make up the City Beautiful do add
| much to the pleasure, happiness, NOR
ais and health of the people. are these
not reasons enough to inspire every
city, town and village to go to work
at once to secure these things? But |
shall pass over all these good reasons
and consider for a moment the com
mercial side of the subject. From the
standpoint of the dollar, parks do pay,
and they pay big.
Kansas City is notable example OF
what has been done in the last few
years. Ten or twelve years ago the
people there realized that almost moth
ing had been done to beautify their
town and attract the home builder ana
business man. They quickly adopted a
plan for the city and worked out a sys
tenn Of parks and bouleyards. costing
$90O0,O0O. Already it has proved to be
profitable investment, and they are
getting back in increased taxes. due to
the enhancement Of values. more than
enough to justify the outlay. In open
ing some of the first parks and boulc-
wards they had to fight their way by
condemnation proceedings. etc. but 1t
was soon seen that in whatever part of
town these improvements were going
on property increased in value. so that
it was not long before every part of
the town was clamoring for such I'M
prOvemcnts, in some cases even offer
ing to pay for them. Today the people
of Kansas City are enthusiastic over
their civic improvements, and they snr
that parks pay.
What has been the case in Kansas
City has also been true in many other
places. After studying this question
for several years am convinced that
the average town or city is not inditrrr-
ent to these things. but they Simply
don't know how to make II start. l.
only few enthusiastic. public spirited
people will get the matter on their
hearts they will soon find Il way.
or course the best results cannot he

impatient. would say to all towns
desiring parks. ETC.:
First.-Employ good architect to
make plan.
Second .-Devise ways and means to
secure funds.
Third.--Secure land for parks as
early as possible. large tracts on the
outskirts and several small tracts in
the thickly settled neighborhoods
Tourth.-Go to work Systematically
and intelligently n beautify tine
grounds.
Fifth.-Don't expect everything to
be done in one or two years. IT takes
time to do these things, and no doubt
mistakes will be made. 1t would he
remarkable If they We're not I'nt II
the proper start be made and honest
and interested men are managing it
they can hardly fail to obtain good re-
suits in the end.
In conclusion | would emphasize the
fact that If n town expects to attract
people 1t must make itself attractive
In this day and time no Intelligent
man cares to live in n town lackn,. in
beauty and health. and the towns that
make the best increases in population
in the next ten or twenty years will
be largely the ones that do most to
make themselves attractive By civic
improvements.

WHY PARKS
ARE A Benefit.
Improve Social and Moral Con-
d|tIons Of Community.
PAY WELL As AN INVESTMENT


Parking System-Methods For Towns
70 Adopt In Securing Parks-Why
Attractiveness Pays.
The old idea of parks was that they
are luxuries and are chiefly for those
who had time and taste to enjoy the
beautiful. A city or town that could
afford parks was regarded much in the
same light as rich man who pos
sessed in his own home beautiful
paintings. statuary and other works
Of art. These We're obtained chiefly to
crafty the pride of the owner or to
crafty the taste Of the family and
friends capable of enjoying such
things.
Soon it was seen that parks not only
furnished pleasure. but greatly in
creased the health and happiness Of
the people and improved the social and
moral conditions of the communities

DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE.

Two Successful Methods Adopted by
American Cities.
At least two methods of garbage dis
posal have proved effective in typical
American cities--incineration and re-
duction. In the incinerating type all
kinds of refuse. ashes. paper, rags.
scraps of food, kitchen waste. etc. are
fed together into crematories and
burned. In European works of this
type the heat generated by the combus-
ton with Il forced draft is source
of considerable revenue. One Of the
best examples of an incinerator plant
in this country Is the Milwaukee incin.
