Scarcely had the tree problem been

communicated with Manager Fosse
and offered to contribute portion OF

accepted, and it is expected that SINH

How to arrange the distribution OF
tickets so that they will reach only
those children who might be overlook

Manager Fosse. 1t is possible that the

and leadership we have had in that de-
partment by Miss Zona Gale. who until
recently was chairman of the depart

ganizing fine auxiliaries of children
and very soon our junior civic leagues

work"
Mr. Watrous also reviewed the tour of
last year in which twenty-five members
of the association formed a party which
toured the cities of Europe, studying
their development. He also referred to
the work of the association in over
coming the billboard and smoke nui-
sances, and summarized the special
financial campaign within the associa-
ton which in the past year resulted in
the complete elimination of AN old and
honorably incurred debt of the asso-
ciation." Mr.. Watrous said that the
treasurer's report would show that at
the end of the fiscal year in August,
1913. there was a deficit of more than
$4,000 in the treasury. The report for
the fiscal year, ending August 81, 1914.
shows no deficit, but small balance.

An Analysis of Work Done
Since Last Meeting Made
in Report by R. B. Watrous

An analysis of what has been ac-
complished by the American Civic AS
sociation since its last meeting in Bal
timore two years ago was presented to
the convention Of that organization yes
terday at the New Willard Hotel. The
report was made by Richard B. Wat
rous, secretary, and it announced that
the membership has now reached the
$500 mark.
Immediately following the Baltimore
convention" Mr.. Watrous said. there
was presented to us the writing of a
new chapter of that now very thick
volume known as Saving Niagara Falls
on the Installment Plan The Burton
bill, which had been passed originally by
the efforts of the American Civic Asso-
citation, was about to expire again and
the effort was to obtain permanent re-
straining legislation. After much labor
the terms-of the Burton bill were ex-
tended, but since March 4, 1914, the
preservation of the falls has depended
upon regulations imposed by the War
Department. These rules require no
greater diversion of water on the
American side than was permitted by

power from the Canadian side of the
river.
"Following the proposal made at our
convention in 1910. there are now bills
in both houses of Congress for the Gre
alton of a national parks service, con-
templating the national parks under
the administration of a bureau in the
government.
Interest in City Planning.
"Of our activities that relate to cities
and towns, probably the greatest in
terest lies in city planning There are
now more than seventy cities that have
taken advanced steps in this direction.
Seven states have enacted laws that
make possible or obligatory the crea-
ton of regularly organized planning
commissions for municipalities of cer-
tain classes.
The extension of improvement work
in small towns has been carried on
with notably gratifying results. due
