ADEQUATE SETTING
FOR PALATINE FLAG
Staff Will be the Center Of
Handsome Ornamental
Platform.

A sketch of an outlook platform
around which park is to be built on
the top of Palatire Knob by the Great.
er Fairmont Investment Company, has
been received from Landscape Archi-
tect Arthur F. Paul, of Philadelphia.
The great flag and flag pole, about
which there has been much discussion,
will form the center Of the platform
and of the park plan.
1t is the idea Of the architests to
build on the top of the Knob, plat.
form, with low parpet walls to con-
form to the plan OF the long narrow.
summit. This platform would be as
ample as the space allowed and would
be embellished with pavement OF or.
namental pattern, seats, etc.
When completed the outlook plat.
form would provide delightful place
from which the entire city could be
surveyed. Trees and shrubbery will.
be planted about the sunmit, and the
highest point in the county made q,

interest.
The steel flag staff will be erected rs
