Wmngon system of Paks CITY Beautiful

No city Of its area or population in
the United States can boast of more
or better parks than Wilmington,
with its 472 acres devoted to parks,
which area soon is to be increased
greatly.
Many years back, in fact in 1868,
was the plan first projected for a pub
lie park
Both sides Of the Brandywine for a
long time had been used as a pleasure
park; the south side from Market
street to Rattlesnake Run as a prom
enade and picnic ground; the north
race as a swimming pool; the ma
tural amphitheatre as a place for
public gatherings.
A number of the progressive men
OF that day foresaw the rise in land
values and to secure to the public OF
Wilmington these natural beauties be-
fore it was too late called a meeting
which met in the City Hall, July IL
1868, and appointed as a committee
to make an investigation and report
to City Council. Thomas f. Bayard
Samuel H. Harrington, Charles b.
Lore, George w. Stone and Daniel W.
Taylor.
In July, 1869, the committee pre-.
sented a most thorough report asking
Council to Immediately get busy ant
take the necessary steps to secure the
land, Between Adams street adjoin
ing the Brandywine Cemetery grounds
and Rattlesnake Run, and north
wardly of Lowering avenue, including
the BraudyWine creek and race II
such natural boundaries on the oppo
site side of the Frandywine as may bl
desirable" The report of this com
mittee was so comprehensive that i
is practically the plan on which thu
present system of parks is based.
The report, however failed of an!
immediate results and nothing furthe
was done until 1888, when the Gen
eral Assembly passed an act creating
the Park Commission and empower

ing the city to acquire land for park
purposes.
Shortly after the organization Of
the board William p. Bancroft offered
to deed to the city about forty-eight
acres of what is now Rockford Park
on condition that the city acquire
thirty-three acres, adjaining on the
south. known as the Law farm.
The advisability of accepting this
offer. was referred to Frederick Law
Olmsted, the noted landscape archi-
tect, and he advised against the ac-
ceptance of this land unless the land
along the Brandywine could also be
secured.
No further action was taken until
the latter part of 1884, when Den
mis- J. Mention, then a member of City
Council, brought up the matter, and
a committee was appointed to work
with the Park Commission. During
the following session of the General
Assembly authority was granted to
issue bonds to the amount of $780,
600 for the purchase of lands. From
this fund Delamore Park and most
of Brandywine Park were purchased
before the end of 1887
In 1889 William p. Bancroft, hav-
ing purchased the Law farm, again
offered Rockford Park, about sixty
five acres, to the city and it was ac-
cepted. Later the e. l. DUPONT de
Nemours Company gave nine acres

Chinese Labor and Argentine Beef

Our national administration is car
rying this brotherly love business
entirely too far. 1t is getting SO our
little half breed and yaller brothers
are getting the edge on our own FAM
lily. The advertisement for beef sup
plies for the navy and army recently
published carried the statement, CAR
gentine beef preferred" and now the
contract for constructing a big navy
dock at Hawaii has been let to Chi
nese firm because their bid was few
dollars less than the American bid,
owing to the difference between the
American and Chinese labor. AS the
contract was for considerably over q
hundred thousand dollars, it means
quite loss to American labor in the
islands. Charity begins at home and
it will be well enough to play the
brotherly love to all nations game
when there are no longer any hungry
Americans. Just at present there are
several millions Of them that need
work to earn food and clothes for
their families, and every contract
awarded to foreigners IL 30 much tax
en- out Of their mouths.
