POISONED AIR

TT IS still fashionable ~ some quarters
to criticize the Iajrmount Park Com
mission ror its habits Of conservatism.
Many people remember that the commits
sioners hesitatcd for long time before
they permitted automobiles to enter the
Park. The public is lust beginning to
perceive that there was wisdom in that
waiting policy And in some particu-
lars-m the method of caring for road
surfaces and in general motor regula
tions-the Park Commission still can
teach many things to City Councils.
Because Of the discussion Of the auto
mobile smoke nuisance begun in these
columns recently, New Workers. have sud
denly realized that the trees and foliage
in Central Park are being slowly de
stroyed BY the fumes emitted by imper-
fectly adjusted motors. The greenery in
Fairmount Park has never been seriously
injured in that way for the simple rea
sons that iron regulations existed from
the first to prevent ii. The Fairmount
Park Commission, in Other words, has
better regard for the trees and the
shrubs and the lawns under its care than
Councils have manifested for the lives
and the health Of citizens.
A chauffeur may dcfle the atmosphere
of Philadelphia streets at will if he is too
lazy TO adjust the mechanism Of his car.
But he will be halted as soon as he ap-
pears with "a smoking machine anywhere
in the Park
Anti-smoke ordinances are now being
talked of in New York. They will be in
operation there. doubtless, before our
own Council follows sensible example
that the Park Commission has been SET
ting for years.
