This wear is the tenth season OF
the city's supervision over band con-
certs. Prior to 1908 concerts were
given during the summer months
through public subscription. In this
vear however. the Legislature en-
acted a law by which municipalities
of the flrst-class could appropriate
1000 yearly for concerts. rms law
which was passed at the solicitation
of the local authorities, paved the
way for the present system
In the first year, 1908, $1,000 was
spent in giving twenty-eight con-
certs. Since then the amount mas
been increased yearly. and the scope
of the work has increased every sea-
son. At first there were no STANDS
in the parks. and Mr.. King. who has
supervised the concerts since the hrst
was given. had to have carried from
place to place heavy portable
stand. Now each of the parks Is
provided with its own platform.
The dates, the parks where the
concerts will be held and the bands
that will play are as follows
