Spring tripped across the Threshold
today, but winters tardy retirement
has left so much snow and ice and

vey Taylor, the superintendent of
parks and city property, can do little
more during the next few days than
prepare his plans and forces for the
actual beginning of outdoor work as
soon as the weather will permit.
Mr.. Taylor stated to-day that he had
disposed of his private business and
was now in position to give his time
exclusively to the management of his
department of the city government
He also made the important announce
ment that Warren H. Manning, the
famous LANDSCAPE architect, who has
been the genius of the planning and
park system, had concluded to remain
as the expert adviser of the depart
ment.

other important matters under consid-

derstood, within the next week or ten
days. There seems TO be no doubt
that he is giving careful attention To

stitute the first city planning commits
sion. He made this statement to O.
Telegraph Representatives:
TayIor's Statement
The remarks which ] made on the
floor of Council appear to have created
the impression in the minds OF the for
mer park commissioners and others
that l had made an attack on the
commission, which ] can truthfully
say was tarthest from my thought. In
my position as councilman for ap-
proximately eight years i had more
than ordinary opportunities to observe
the administration of the park depart
rnent, and / want to say that l con-
sidered the work Of that board most
praiseworthy and commenda Die, rec
ognizing the fact that ali work done
by an unpaid commission of this char
acter necessarily involves many per-
sonal sacrifices. which will be, more
fully appreciated in the years to come.
Il have come to no definite de-
cision regarding the new city planning
commission other than that l would
like to have 1t composed of men in
terested in the work and in sympathy
with my administration, so that we
could all work together in harmony
with the same object in view-which
is the advancement of our park sys-
tenn.
Il am glad to be able to announce
that Mr.. Manning has reconsidered his
determination to retire and has agreed
to serve the park system in the same
capacity that has existed for eleven
years. This will be a great advantage
to Harrisburg"
