Mrs. Frank Getaways Plan to
Hide Bare Hills Likely
To Be Realized.

The dream of Mrs. Frank Galloway
to see the drab baroness of Piedmont
park hidden by thick trees bears prom
Use of fulfillment Pledges of trees OF
money obtained already by Mrs. Cal
laway from more than 100 persons will
be realized and trees will be purchased
by Dan Carey, park commission, and
planted. A ceremony of some kind
probably will be arranged to mark the
beginning Of Piedmont parks embel-
tishment.
Mrs. Galloway was gTieyed by the
sight of the bare park and she con-
ceiyed the plan of appealing to north
side residents for help toward making
the tract beautiful. Her suggestion
was this: II each person who goes or
who sends his children into the park
for recreation would give young tree
or its money equivalent-75 cents
great good could be done
Many responses were made to her
initial appeal, and cash subscriptions
were plentiful Many of them exceeded
the modest limit OF rs cents which Mrs.
Galloway specified amounting to a fig
ure that was sufficient for the purchase
of dozen trees.
Mrs. Galloway. who lives at As East
Fourteenth street. still is pursuing her
mission of making a beauty spot of that
which now holds only a meager promise
of beauty. 1t is her plan to work ac-
lively for some time, that the subscrip-
tons be obtained in time for purchase
and planting of trees in the sea- son best
for that work, the latter part OF Jan
uary and early February
Mrs. Callaway's appeal was taken I'D
by her neighbors and is reinforced by
that of others who indorse her work.
II is estimated that many more than
the trees already obtained by subscrip-
tion will be necessary. Landscape en-
sineers modelled Piedmont park along
lines similar to those Of Central park OF
New York, and the territory in the At
lanta park is large
Mrs Galloway is hopeful, however, of
achieving at least some good, and that
nope has been strengthened bv the
alacrity with which a number of north
side Atlantans have responded
