public. These drives, forty feet wide.
are laid out along easy curves SO as
to afford the motorist an unObstructed
view for considerable distances. The
walks are placed to be ten feet wide
throughout the ornamental section and
five feet around the playground and
athletic field. The center of the park
plot proper shows a circle thirty feet
in diameter which offers an object for
wide speculation. What shall be placed
therein? The ladies say a fountain,
the band boys want a bandstand, and
the ex-service men are mentioning
memorial monument. The writer sug-
gests for the present flowerbed and
light until conditions warrant
more expensive ornament. While men,
tioning flowerbeds, it may be suggest
ed that here is an opportunity for
keen rivalry among the various
ladies' organizations.
The second features of the plan
calls for children's playground. A
well equipped playground is not SO
very expensive and is an excellent in
vestment. The lives and health of
children are safeguarded by keeping

them off the streets and very attrac-
tive means of recreation and amuse-
ment can be provided. This play
ground as arranged eliminates the
danger of too many street crossings,
aside from the economy effected by
utilizing the existing water and sewer
facilities. 1t has been found advisable
to close Orchard avenue to vehicle
traffic, thereby reducing the chances
of danger to children.
Third, one of the most important
and outstanding issues was the loca-
ton of the athletic field. Owing to
the vicious nature of the fans, nothing
was left undone to appease them. A
large field was the most important
part of the whole park scheme and if
these parties had their way the entire
ten acres would have been baseball
ground. AS finally decided. the field
is about four hundred feet square, To-
Gated in the northeast corner of the
plot A great deal of expert advice
was given as to the location of the
diamond. and so on. of which the park
planning board made valuable use.
Fourth and last but not to be lost
sight OF. comes the public camping
ground. an idea which is becoming
more and more popular and does more
to advertise your town than most
other agencies. In the development
of this feature the needs of the travel
ing public had to be taken into con-
sideration. Aside from the fact that
n certain amount of privacy is re-
quired for such place for the travel
er, as well as people living in the
vicinity of the grounds, a place closely
located within easy reach of all mod
ern conveniences had to be found As
n large expenditure at present is not
warranted for such camping grounds,
and in view of the fact that light,
water and sewers were in close prox-
unity to the place as shown this loca-
tion was decided to be the best suited
for such purposes. Also. the fact that
the grandstand offers a certain amount
of shelter is a desirable consideration
in making this choice.
Before adopting this plat the park
board has given considerable time to
the study Of all conditions herein
stated and finally concluded that this
plan embodies most of the desired
features.
Constructive criticism was given
literally by the public at large and
every phase thereof was given due
consideration and this Present plan
owes its final adoption in large meas

SOMERSET
BY HAZEL DAVIS

Somerset is located forty-two miles
northeast of Delta, ten miles north of
Paonia and several miles over the
Delta County line in Gunnison County.
There are about $50 dwelling houses
in Somerset and quite few more
families than there are houses. Coal
mining is the chief industry.
The Somerset mine is owned by the
Utah Fuel Company and is one of the
best in the state. 1t is strictly mod
ern-uses electric lights inside and
out; has electric shot-firing system
whereby all the men are out of the
mine when the shots are fired. The
watering system brings the water to
the face of each working place. All
other safety devices which tend to
make the mine safer are being in
stalled. The mine is equipped inside
and out with machinery which is up
to date.
The company at present employs
about 230 men. The average daily
output is 1900 tons. The total ton
mage for the past year was 264,500
tons. There are improvements under
way for this year that will increase
the tonnage to $500 tons per day.
A seam now being worked is "a feet
thick. Only 12 feet mined out. There
are four other seams which are being
worked that vary in thickness.
Quite number of improvements
are planned for both inside and out
side the mine; also plans for new
dwelling houses and larger school
house.
Robert A. Williams, who has been
superintendent of the mine for nine
years, has made good deal of i'm
provements on both mine and camp.
The people wish him every success
for the coming year.
DR.. ]. E. Mcconnell is head of the
medical department here. All en-
ployes and their families receive medi-
cal treatment free of charge.
All property owned by the Utah
Fuel Company is strictly modern and
up to date in all respects.
The hospital and also the offices of
the company are located in Salt Lake

r gressive towns in Delta County
is one of the highest Its public
spirited citizen will enter upon
any enterprise which will tend to ad-
vance the welfare of the community
and it is this spirit which accounts for
the fact that the town is strictly mod
ern and up to date in every respect.
Nothing has been left out of the
general scheme of improvements that
would possibly retard the growth of
the town, and at the end of 1922 we
find an excellent light and power
plant, mountain waterworks system
and complete sewer and drainage
system in operation.
The location of the town within
close proximity of the largest bitumin-
GUS coal fields in the world made it
possible to operate a steam power
plant to a great advantage. Munich
pally owned, the plant is paying for
itself aside from contributing hand
somely to the town revenues. An
abundance of power is guaranteed for
years to come as at this time only
half the capacity of the plant is in
use.
An excellent water system furnishes
the town with the purest mountain
water and the revenue derived from
this source is sufficient to retire the
bonded Indebtedness created for water
works purposes and also pays for the
running expenses of the town.
The water supply is derived from a
spring located at the foot of Mt. LAM
born, high mountain which overlooks
the whole valley of the North Fork of
the Gunnison.
Through a cast iron conduit this
water is carried five miles to the stor-
age reservoirs on German Mesa and
from there enters into the city system
proper.
A smaller reservoir at the edge of
town furnishes the necessary head for
fire pressure, which is excellent and
at no point is less than sixty pounds.
The rapid growth of the town re-
quired the installation of a complete
sewer and drainage system. Construc-
tion on same commenced during the
fall of 1921 and in the following spring
=
time is operating successfully.
The total cost of this improvement
was fifty-three thousand dollars. but
this large expenditure was fully justi-
fed by the excellent results that We're
obtained from the drainage of seepy
property, whereby values were en-
HANGED. aside from the main purpose,
sanitation.
The year 1922 has also seen the
naturalization of one of Paonia' S
fondest hopes. In the acquisition of
the City Park site and the subsequent
improvements started thereon. the
visions and plans of score of citi-
zens began to realize.
Aside from the natural resources.
the untiring efforts of the citizens are
bound to maintain Paonia as one of
the best towns on the Western Slope.

This reduced copy of the plan for
development of Paonia's new 10-acre
City Park will convey fairly accur-
ate impression of the general scheme
adopted by the temporary Park Board.
Not a great strain on the imagination
is required to visualize the result of
five or ten years of consistent pursuit
of this plan. The scale to which the
drawing is reduced is approximately
$50 feet to the inch.
1t has been demonstrated beyond
any doubt that a properly planned and
maintained park, aside from the recre-
ational benefits derived, enhances real
estate values within their zone of in

most elements which will guarantee
the successful growth and develop

In the planning, many features-ad-
vantages, as well as obstacles-had to
be taken into consideration. Aside
from the desire to make this ground
as attractive as possible, the personal
wishes and opinions Of many had to
be carefully considered and passed
upon. The plan as presented here is
the final product of the combined ideas
and visions of score Of our progress

grounds as well as parks. We find
that among all improvements of which
cities and towns are proud. park
commands the upppermost place in
civic pride. The fact that we have
gotten along all this time without such
valuable asset to our town should
only prove to be an incentive to go
into this proposed enterprise to make
up for all this delay. Confidence,
patience and teamwork are the fore
