ment given BY the United Drug COM
pany. He. was one of'the eight drug
gists who attended from this state.
Mr.. Lack took special notice of the
parks and parkways of Colorado
Springs and Denver. Denver has a
thousand acres given, over to parks
and parkways and Colorado Springs
has fifteen hundred acres. Colorado
Springs claims TO have the largest
park system in the United States
outside OF New, York city. Denver
spends about s265,00O a year on the
maintenance of its, parks and park
ways. In, that city IL is. quite the
style for moneyed people on dying
to leave large sums for public util-
tiles. especially for the benefit OF the
park system. Both Denver and Col
orado Springs have the commission
form, of government. The Denver
people are dissatisfied with one feature
of their municipal system and that
Is the election of the mayor by the
city commissioners. At Colorado
Springs the mayor has special con.
troll over the water and health depart
ments. besides general supervision
over all that relates to the city's wei
fare.
