Public golf links in city parks. such as

In fact, the idea was conveyed to Presi-

golf links in other cities.
New York city has three courses in as
many parks. one in Queens borough and
two in the boroughs of the Bronx. Des
Moines, Iowa, maintains two links. Bos-
ton has two links-one for the experts
and the other for beginners-both in the
same public ground.

the Chamber of Commerce has obtained
from the authorities of these three cities

Players Paid a Tax.
The links In Franklin Park, Boston.
have been maintained since 1896. They
were first put in charge Of a professional
golfer. who was remunerated for his
care of the game by receipts from tax
of 10 cents per round or - cents for
double round. from the sale of golf ma
terials and from payments from beginners
for instruction.
In 1900 the board of commissioners of
the department of parks took over con-
troll. The new pan has been FOUND emil
nently satisfactory The course is free,
including locker service, but not sticks or
balls.
There are two courses. one of nine holes
for experts and the other for beginners.
