from the city nursery on the island.
Bridges were constructed and the hun
dred and one little details such as
painting. repairing, placing of stones
here and there in roadways, laying of
sewers, purchasing some fifty tons of
lime for fertilizing purposes. the in
stalling of fountains on the, Detweiler
memorial.
The New Clubhouses
The improvements at the tennis
courts, the purchase of new play
ground apparatus are mentioned. Par
ticular attention, however. is called to
the erection of the new shelters on
the slope of Cherry Hill at Reservoir,
the construction of the new tennis
clubhouse and the awarding of a con-
tract for the erection of a new golf
clubhouse.
I'VE have fallen short of many of
our aims for this year. but we never
theless feel not a little proud of this
record. and with the increased knowl-
edge and experience gained during this
year we look forward to the coming
year confident that still better results
will be realized" concludes the park
heads report for 1914.
Mr.. Taylor, however. does not forget
the work of the old park board and
he pays the old commissioners this
tribute:
Tribute to Old Park Board
This report, of necessity, marks an
epoch. since it is the dividing line in
our city's development between the
work of the Harrisburg Park Commits
sion and that of the new regime in
augurated by the commission form of
government for the third class cities
of Pennsylvania and which auto
matically retired the former commits
sion.
THE splendid work of those gentle
men is their best monument and 1t is
so familiar to all who have watched
Harrisburg's progress since 1902 that
reference to it is superfluous.
However, it seems but proper that
the incoming regime should in some
manner, publicly recognize the serv-
ices of the Harrisburg Park Commits
sion, and should spread upon the rec
ords of the city its appreciation of the
successful conception and great ad-
vancement of what is destined to be
one of the best of this country's park
system. The achievements of the mast
impose the greater obligations upon
the present and it is with the earnest
hope of proving worthy of our trust
that we assume the duties relinuuished
by the old commission"

MAKE SHIPPERS FEED
BAD MILK To HOGS
[Continued From First Pagel

[Continued From First Page]
reau of Health and Sanitation at the
annual meeting tonight.
According to DR.. ]. NJ. J. Raunick,
chief of the bureau, ii is proposed to
issue a quarterly bulletin beginning
in April, in which publicity will be
given, the work of the bureau, includ-
ing statistics, proposed changes and
improvements, for the purpose of edu-
eating the public, the producer and
the dealer.
| In line with the work of the health
| departments of other cities, DR.. Rau-
nick hopes the department will es-
tablish inspections of milk arriving
at the express stations, which comes
from a radius of forty miles, compris-
ing so per cent of the city's supply.
1t is claimed that much of the milk
arrives here in summer in an over
heated condition instead of the safe
standard temperature of so degrees.
and that many dealers receive milk
kept over Saturdays and Sundays by
! the farmers pasteuriZe it, and sell ii
on Mondays as first grade milk.
To Condemn Aiilk ut Station
The new system of inspection pro-
posed will condemn improper milk at
the receiving stations; the inspectors
will put rennet into it and compel its
return to the farm for hog. consump-
ton.
1t is said much of the milk received
contains COLI bacilli. or particles of
manure. other cities compel a
higher standard for milk that brings
no higher price than in Harrisburg;
and it is the aim of the bureau here
| to bring about better conditions.
| The report shows a total of 164, ,692
food inspections made by the two city
| inspectors during nine months; col
miles were travelled outside the city
on official errands; 641 licenses were
issued as follows: Restaurants, 51;
bakeries, AZ; meat dealers, 23S; milk
dealers. 1913; ice cream dealers. 1I2
License fees amounted to $3,425
Eight hundred and eighty-four bac-
THEOLOGICAL tests were made since last
April.

Chief among the permanent inn
provements is the lighting system fol
the River Front Park between Paxton
street and Iron alley and for the
Twelfth street Fairgrounds. Enough

vide for the installation and the city is
therefore required to pay only for the

ance at the close of the year.
What the Department Did
Mr.. Taylor calls attention among
other things to the creation of the City
Planning Commission, the office of city
forester. the concentration of these
offices with the park department and
the fact that the general standard of
the system was kept up in main
tenance. Then he explains in detail
the various changes and improvements
made in all the Fairgrounds; at
McCormick's Island; the acquiring OF
practically all of the hitherto unac-
quired parkway property between
Cameron's and the Reservoir; the
treatment of the River Front; the pur-
chase of the Sycamore street play
ground; the planting of hundreds OF
trees in the parks and the setting out
