These Park Benches
Can't Be Used as
Lovers Nests"
Commissioner Gallatin Outlines His
Proposals for Improve
mentS

Francis d. GaIlatin. Commissioners OF
Parks. yesterday outlined his plans for the
Improvement of parks and parkways His
proposals for:--
The resurfacing of the West Drive and
the repaving Of the East Drive In Central
Park; the repaving of the Riverside Drive
extension: the construction of permanent
automobile roadbed for the Speedway
the removal of the receiving reservoir in
Central Park and its conversion into a
meadow.
| The construction OF a monumental water
gate On the Hudson River to be used as
landing place for the reception OF distin-
guished visitors; the erection Of a recre-
alton centre and canteen on the Hudson
River for the use Of sailors; the creation
OF one or more large parks in Staten
Island; trotting track to take the place
Of the Speedway; the identifying of Park
avenue from Forty-second street to
INinety-seventh street with pyramidal
cedars and rambling roses. and the replac-
avenue which should be rooted" In the
ground so that they could not be hung
in the trees for lovers nests"
The Park Department engineers estimate
that the construction of a permanent auto
mobile roadbed on the old Speedway will
cost about s1,269,0oo. A delegation from
the Road Drivers Association called on
the Commissioner recently to advocate the
building of half-mile driving track in
Manhattan or the Bronx. According to
their proposals, they would have the city
build a track with stables and grand stands
and club house. with play ground in the
centre. They suggested that it be built
similar to one In Newark. N. j., the plans
of which they explained to the Commits
sioner.
Commissioner Gallatin urged that the
monumental water gate be erected some
where between Eightieth and Ninetieth
streets on the Hudson, where there is
vacant land which could be used for the
purpose. This should be developed, the
Commissioner said, not only for utilitarian
reasons but to add to the beauty of the
neighborhood, which is one Of the finest in
the city. The places proposed for parks In
Staten Island are Egvertville. Beech For
ests, Glove Lake, Richmond Lake and
the land in the vicinity Of the Actors
Home.
Commissioner Gallatin announced that on
January "a he will offer at public auction
the lease Of the Claremont. at Riverside
Drive and 126th street The place is now
under lease to Ralph A. Gushee, who
recently notified the Commissioner that he
would terminate the lease under clause
which gives him that permission in the
event of prohibition.

STORING YOUR CANNED FRUIT.

There are few moments IN the expert
mcc of the housewife more filed with
satisfaction than those in which she con-
templates at the end of the summer and
autumn the jars and bottles and glasses
Of vegetables and fruits converted through
her diligence into jams and preserves,
pickles and canned goods for the approach
ing winter. So much the better II she has
shelves arranged where this collection
of cans and jars and bottles may be shown
to the best advantage, where 1t can re-
main under the best conditions until the
time IL is needed.
One of the obstacles against canning
for the woman who lives In a flat or apart
mcnt is that she seldom has any suitable
place to keep her canned goods. One
young housewife looked with infinite sat
isfaction on a built-in-buffet In her dining
room that had wide recess at the top
where one might store some live or SIX
dozen cans of fruit well concealed from
view. IL seemed like an ideal storage
place. She apparently forgot that heat
rises and that rs soon as steam heat was
turned on IN her apartment this cozy little
storeplace would be kept at a temperature
high enough TO tax the keeping qualities
of any canned goods A few rcSoundIng
explosions on the part of the first of the
cans to be affected by the high tempera-
ture warned her that she must seek else
where before all her canned things had
been spoiled.
But IN a house it is not difficult to find
a suitable place for keeping your canned
and preserved goods. 1t is sufficient that
II be neither excessively cold or hot. It
should be free from dampness and pro
tccted from dust. An attic is usually
subject to too great extremes of tempera-
trire A dry, light place in your cellar
Is a favorable place. If you cannot have
