January snowfall In North Adams was

MI. Glover's Park Gift.

Gift of a tract of seventy-seven and
half acres of land for use as city
park and playground. by Mr.. Charles
local affairs and calls for the warmest
praise for the donor, whose interest in
the park development of the Capital
has been persistent and valuable. Mr..
Glover has visioned Washington of
broad spaces for permanent preserva-
ton for public uses, and in this gift
he dedicates to the use Of the people
an area of considerable size and high
value, certain to be of the greatest
service to the community in the year $
to come. At present the territory
within which the proposed park lies
is not congested. But the trend of
settlement and development is in that
direction, and experience proves that
in Il few years il will be closely occu-
pied. To pre-empt this tract now as
sures recreation facilities for the oc-
cupants of u suburban section that
will eventually become urban in char
acter.
Mr.. Glover's munificent gift sug-
gests anew the fact that the govern
ment is tagging in its provision,
through appropriations. in the pres
ervation of spaces that are plainly
indicated as natural parks for the
peoples pleasure and health main.
tenance. Several Of these areas have
been designated by the Commission
ers and repeatedly brought to the at
tention Of the legislature, but with
out result thus far. Certain sections
of the city are left without park
facilities, and unless action is taken
overwhelm the remaining tracts that
are so obviously suitable for park
uses.
Washington is renowned as q city
of parks, but it cannot remain so dis
tinguished if it does not carry to a
conclusion the program of preserva-
ton that has been indicated. Eventu-
ally the urban development will ex-
tend to the boundaries of the District,
and the process Of ingrowing will pro-
ceed rapidly. The time is approach
ing when parkmaking cannot be car
ried on without tremendous cost, when
perhaps it will be prohibited by con-
siderations of expense Meanwhile it
is highly gratifying to see the broad
view of one of the Capitals leading
citizens manifested in SO practical a
manner, assuring a park to a section
that otherwise would be left without
such a place OF public resort and
recreation.
