THE CITY BEAUTIFUL
WHY AMERICAN CITIES
SHOULD PURCHASE PARKS.
No Longer Considered a Luxury, but,
Like Streets, a Necessity.

One of the latest cities to secure gen
eral plan reports. joining in with the
leading American cities in securing
such general schemes of development,
is New London. Conn. The report con
tains the following reasons why every
city should acquire parks:
There are at least four reasons
why cities should now act in a large
way in acquiring and improving land
for use as parks and Fairgrounds:
First.-Property is steadily increasing
in value. 1t is not likely to be cheaper
than it is now. Second.-Once bought,
park lands increase in value. All 9th
er public works depreciate; parks ap-
preciate. Third.-Parks pay for them
selves or more than pay for themselves
by making new real estate values.
Some examples in support of this state
ment are given in the appendix.
Fourth.-A sound park policy vigorous
~ pushed by public authority soon
brings rich gifts from private individu-
ais. The history Of American city
parks furnishes much evidence in sup
port of this tendency. Cities that own
few parks seldom receive gifts Of
parks. On the other hand. some cities
that have a long and honorable record
in public park making have an equally
long and honorable record Of private
gifts for parks.
parks are no longer considered a
luxury by growing American cities.
They are classed with streets and sew
ers and schools as a necessity. They
contribute directly to health and eff
cheney, to pleasure and economic
wealth. Moreover. they stir and nour.

expense and work begun at once. The
weed saw was little more than a steel
tape about II quarter of an inch wide
having both edges stamped out to form
thorn-like teeth. Upon this band at
intervals of about fifteen feet were
fastened lead weights to compel the
saw to follow the contour of the bot
tom.
The method of operation consisted
simply of dragging the saw back and
forward from one end Of the lake to
the other. This was easily accomplish
ed by hand lines attached to each end.
One man stayed in the middle in a
boat to clear the saw when it fouled,
and two more were on tatboats near
the bank to operate it,
The waite" surface involved was
about l22 acres. and of this nearly 90
per cent was covered with the weeds.
Since the first cutting no signs of the
growth have reappeared.

P%URPOSELESS PILLARS.
Owners Would Do Better to Erect
Lights or FIowerpots.

Many real estate firms and tract own
ers continue to erect pillars Of stone or
brick on street corners which are of no
use. possess no beauty and represent a
decided lack Of taste and good judg-
ment.
Simple pillars should either carry
lights. ornamental plants and vines in
pots. vases or. better still. hollow cen
tcrs. or they should be finished by
parts of walls AUDITING. They should
never merely stand alone without use.
A. fraction of a wall on II or more
sides. Of full height against the pillar
and stepping down by sharp degrees to
the base, would render them necessary
to stop such winged buttresses. but pill
lars alone are denominations and blotS

or whatever their style.

Four years ago Albert knight, a ma
tive Of Boston. went to New Amster-
dam as the assistant to the general
manager OF a big sugar plantation. ten
miles up the Berbice river. An English
girl visited the manager, her uncle.
Meet and Fall In Love.
During the first two weeks of her
visit young Knight was absent from
the plantation on a trip to the States to
buy machinery. so n morning when
a much tanned young man Of twenty
nine was introduced to Miss Sutro as
her nncle's assistant she was certain
that the remainder Of her visit would
be the best of all. Young Knight was
just as certain that the climax Of his
four years on the plantation had been
reached. They loved, but he hesitated
to ask her to share his life in the
jungle.
1t was two days before the boat was
to sail from Georgetown with Miss
Sutro that Knight proposed a ride
along the bush road leading into the
hills.

the road knight and Miss Sutro had
ridden when Knight pulled up his
horse to show his skill with a lasso.

AUTO RACES

Automobile races will be held

The Montamara directors, how
ever, were considerably worried
over the proposition yesterday
afternoon when 1000 petitions

1t was finally agreed to go
ahead as planned in view of the
fact that to change now would
break up the whole program and
might seriously interfere with the
success of the big show.
The petition was largely the
result of a false publication to
the effect that the ministers of
the city had agreed to Sunday
racing. This stirred up the Min
isterial Alliance and besides
adopting resolutions condemning
the story, they started the petit
