We're later than fall. The cost of the two
additional courses contemplated is little
less than half million dollars. and 1t would
be money well spent in the interest of the
citizens.
"All the other great cities and many of
those of medium size have given ear to the
demands Of their golfers and provided
number of public courses. Thus Chicago
has nine. New York seven. Indianapolis five,
st. Louis three, and SO on down the list.
even Lancaster, Pa. having two. The
figures throughout the country show an
average daily attendance of AS persons at
each of the public clubs.
There are now 445S golfers In Philadel-
phia who have licenses to use the Cobbs
Creek course, and Il Is apparent at glance
that the course simply cannot take care of
anything like this number of players. Taking
the very large average Of 500 members to
club, here are sufficient players TO equip
nine country clubs and have their links
ovcrworkGd at that; and as the present
situation stands. they must all be crowded
into single course. These figures speak
for themselves.
The Persons Who Play
1.-THE persons who use the one public
course which the city boasts are the finest
kind OF young American boys and girls. They
are clean cut young people who come out
and are willing to stand around and wait
four, five, six and even more hours to play
few holes of golf. There is never any bad
language or disorder Of any kind on the
course, and it is In the interest of these
fine young citizens that am working. 1t
is a shame that they will have to whit at
least another year before the congestion
which does so much to stop their wholesome
pleasure shall be relieved.
This congestion is so great that it is
utterly impossible for us to hold any regu.
lar club tournaments, which Is and should
be one of the chief features of belonging to
n golf club. Golf has lost entirely the repu-
tation which it once had for being a game
for old men and milliOnaires exclusively it
Is now game for the great American public
and a vast proportion of that public is now
actively interested in it,
1.-The sum of which I have spoken would
provide two eighteen hole courses, which
would take care Of the players in the south.
ern and the northeastern parts of the city.
That they are badly needed is evident from
the manner in which our course is over
crowded every clear Saturday, Sunday and
holiday; that they will come some day ia
shown by the course pursued by other great
cities in providing for their players by Sddi.
tional courses as the need for them becomes
apparent. If we are going to have them in
the end, why not have them at once. when
they will serve good purpose at the ear.

DON'T FORGET THESE THINGS

WHEN the time comes next year for the
w voters TO consider whether the execu-
tive department Of the City Government
shall be turned over to the political ma
chine which controlled It before the Begin
ming Of the Moore Administration. the
voters should look about them at the con-
crete examples of what has been done.
The Department of Public Works is
carrying out program Of repaving which
when completed will provide smooth road
ways on many miles Of streets. The work
is done in such way that II will stand
the heaviest traffic without giving way,
while the pavement is SO smooth that motor
cars can be operated over it us easily as
over the drivcwnys in Fairmount Park.
Little has been said about it because II is
part of the routine work Of the City Gov
crnmcnt. But it is work which is Of the
first Importance. 1t is an advertisement Of
the efficiency of the Administration exposed
to the view of every one.
The success of the city management Of
street cleaning and Of the collection of ashes
and rubbish is equally manifest. The
streets are clean and the rubbish wagons
are so managed that they do not scatter
litter as they move to the dumps.
Every householder can sit on his front
steps and see the benefits which have accrued
from the municipal operation of the street.
cleaning plant. And every householder
along the repaved streets has before his
eyes the evideitce that he is getting some.
thing for the money that he pays in taxes.
Instead of ruts and puddles and splashing
water when vehicles pass by. he sees a
smooth roadway as easy to walk upon MS a
sidewalk. and much less noisy than the
pavcments which have been displaced.

There was nothing that Congress could have
done that would have relieved the situation

ARTHUR e. RENDlE
On More Public Golf Courses

these days Is something terrific. AS an ex-
annie, take the experience of one member

courses. although he preferred to play there:
and transferred his membership to one or
the country clubs. This man got 10 ths

Is that this man was in position to leave
