Voir parkway section. which are being
conducted with a steam shovel and
all its retinue of wagons and graders
and accompanied of course with con-
siderable blasting are attracting much
attention from those who like to roam
in the countryside these fine days.
The road has been completed in the
vicinity of the almshouse where there
was veritable nest of rocks and now
the shovel is eating its way into the
hillocks along the stream that mean
ders down through PaXtang hollow.
The parkway will run through this
most picturesque of places right into
Reservoir park and will make a most
charming drive or walk. TT the
weather stays right, as the contrac-
tors say, the work will be pretty well
advanced in another month.

statuary was executed by Giuseppe
Donate, the sculptor who figured in
the Hershey suit and whose group Is
to be placed in one Of the city parks
as gift from the chocolate manu-
facturer.
