Making a Better City

Dr. Ramey reflected the progressive sentiment Of

he urged the planting Of trees, shrubs and flowers
the creation Of Parkways and the completion OF
the Scenic Drive.

Of civic improvements and beterments since came into

The Herald has often asserted to beautfy the dtys
homes by planting flowers and trees about their yards
but there is yet for further extension Of the
parking system Of the city and this is Of the
features which Dr.. Ramey urges.
The residential streets Of the city will be worth tar
more to the people who live upon them with less driving
width and more park space Residential streets need
not be so wide to accommodate all the traffic they are
called upon to bear The parking adds to their beauty
and It does much relieve the heat Paving attracts the

there is the esthetic side TO be considered well
Many people the more recently paved streets are
adopting the parking idea. Every street in the city IN
the residential districts should have parking It costs

The scenic drive is something in which all FL Paso
interested and the outlook indicative that the pres

task before its in office is ended Mayor Lea and
has aldermen have taken this matter in charge with
hearty and encouraging interest The encouragement Of
the Rotary club and other organizations viii show the
city officials that their work for this drive is receiving
the approval Of the people.

Handling a Crowd

FL Pasos preparedness parade on Wednesday was
one of the best handled in the history Of the city
Police preceded the parade several blocks and properly
cleared the Streets warning all those the sidewalk
TO stand back; then the usual platoon Of mounted
men rode at the head of the marchers and kept the
streets clear.
The outriders in advance of the parade however had
most to do with keeping the streets open and prevent
ing interference with the progress of the parade It
was a capital plan, well carried out. Usually, the
mounted men Immediately in the head of the procession
are depeuded UPON to clear the Streets but often the
task is too great and halts necessary. On We'd
nesdav however, the OutrideTs got all the streets
cleared before the procession came and he'd 1t that
way for a distance of several blocks
The result was that when the parade arrived the
marchers were left perfectly clear, free street In
Pioneer plaza for instance where the crowd usually Is
hard to handle there was not bobble- Everybody
was kept back on the sidewalk and the paraders were
able to march undisturbed Those the sidewalk were
permitted to see the parade too, another advantage not
often the case since the crowds and that usually
fill the plaza bar the views to those along the cuTbs
Grand marshal Wyatt and police chief ZabIlskle con-

preparing to take care Of the crowds and the result OF
their efforts proved the value Of proper cooperation at
the proper time The fact that there was not an aec
dent during the demonstration is further evidence OF
the careful plans made In advance Tor handing the
crowds Eight thousand people marched IN line and
several times that many stood upon the sidewalk yet
