FORGING THE FINAL LINK

" HERE is good news in the an
nouncement that surveys for the
= proposed three-m mile stretch of
driveway that is to wind through
the city parkway from the present
terminus of Cameron parkway to the
Reservoir have been started by the
engineering corps of the Park Depart
ment and that within the next few
weeks City Commissioner NJ. Harvey
Taylor. superintendent of parks and
public property, will be ready to ask
for bids for the construction of the
road.
An outline of the city park system,
as published by this newspaper yes
terday, gives one very fair idea of
the magnificent stretch of driveway
that will surround the city with the
forging of this final link. Few inland
cities have anything to compare with
it. A motor trip or a tramp over its
entire course takes one through quiet
dells where birds twitter and violets
bloom and rivulets trickle; across
green meadows and through the wild
wood, along picturesque Paxton creek,
over the heights and across the low
lands. by the broad Susquehanna and
beneath the low brows of the noun
tains. Lake, forest, picturesque bits of
natural growth and broad sweeps of
landscape; all fall within its scope.
1t has been long time coming, but
the glory of difficult accomplishment
lies in it; the unselfish devotion of
many men who have labored for it,
the enthusiasm of our people who
voted their taxes to it, and the gem
erosity of those who gave their land to
make it possible. The city is a better
place in which to live because of it
and the people are the sole 'bene
fciaries. Truly it is an improvement
worthy of all the work and money
upon it; one that requires
the creation of no depreciation fund in
its behalf, no insurance fees for its
but that will grow steadily
in value as the years so by.

~ RDINARlLN one is not enCour-
aged to look in the editorial
~ columns of local contem-
porary for sententiously eX-
pressed wisdom. In more ways than
one the exact opposite is the rule
there. However, the unexpected hap
pens occasionally, as witness this
apothegm which occurred in IN edi-
torial criticising the School Board on
Thursday morning:
Constant lashings of the whip will
harden any hide.
1t is not worth the while of the
reader to point out that this is but
a well-worn and not too elegantly ex-
pressed proyerb. Origin and form
are of small moment in this case; the
important point is that the statement
from such source comes with all
the refreshing effect of truth new
born.
Few whips have been used mere
vigorously and ruthlessly than that
welded by the publication mentioned.
Seldom has an equal amount of en-
ergy expended ostensibly with the
purest of intentions been productive
of such meager results. But reason
has asserted itself at last. The fact
long apparent to others, that mere
castigation defeats its own purpose, is
admitted. Hereafter when this par
ticular lash Kisses through the air it
will be fair to assume that it is not
because good is expected to result.

Governor Brumbaugh Has
Many Bills on Hand

Less than half of the 1,517 bills
presented to the House of Represen-
tatives have been acted upon by COM
mittees, but next week every commit
tee will have a meeting to discuss
measures in their charge. The big
bills will he out of the House next
week and it is the plan to devote at
tention to the borough code and vari-
Gus administration bills including the
revenue raisers on which committees
may give hearings. A hearing Will
also be held on the bill for the pro-
posed constitutional convention.
The number of bills presented to
the House is far less than the total
of last session in the lower branch
which was 2,764. An interesting fact
in connection with the bills is that the
date when they were stopped last ses-
sion was March II.
The Senate has thus far received
$50 bills.
Just 1O4 bills have reached Gov
ernor Brumbaugh of which number
fourteen have been recalled for amend

The people back of the Gibboney

knocked out by local option or pro-
hibition have been demanding a hear

bill has little show.
A number of legislators took con-
siderable interest in the meeting held
in the Senate caucus room last night

will be formed later on. A number of

The idea is receiving serious
consideration.
