TILTON TO URGE
PARK PURCHASES
City Planners Report Will
Advise Purchase of Big
South Shore Tract.
PRAISES W. H. Afford

The purchase of two large park
areas, one at the north and one at the
south end of the city, in addition to
one neighborhood park to every square
mile, will be recommended in the re-
port of L. D. Tilton, which is to be
made shortly to the city plan commits
sion and the common council.
Mr.. Tilton, an associate of Harland
Bartholomew, St. Louis city planner,
who served as adviser for the coming
work and the major street plan, has
just completed a survey of recreational
facilities which will care for the needs
of the city for the next % years. He
is working with George E. Bickford,
city recreation director, F. A. Carlson,
director of parks, and j. M. Albers,
city building inspector.
In an interview today Mr.. Tilton
warned of the danger of loosing the
heritage of Lake Michigan with which
Kenosha is naturally blessed. He
praised the action of w. H. Afford in
purchasing the Simmons tract at the
north end Of the city, to be held with
out profit until such time as the city
is in position to purchase it.
Must Act Soon.
Unless action is taken in the very
near future for the purchase of strip
of land fronting the lake at the south
ern end of the city, the chance to &C
quire suitable park property will pass.
The price Of the land will make it
prohibitive, or people will buy it up
who will not want to sell.
Tie cost of such project, Mr.. Til
tor pointed out, could be born by the
property fronting on such a park. Sta
tistics show, he said, that land located
in the vicinity of park is greatly in
creased in value. A part of this in
crease would be sufficient to more
than cover the entire cost, it was said.
The terraine on both the north and
the south is ideal for park purposes,
Mr.. Tilton said Gnarled old trees and
shrubs dot the land, while to the east
lies the lake.
Recreation Three Phased.
The program which is being laid
out is three phased, in addition to the
children's Fairgrounds, it was stated.
First there are the neighborhood parks,
of which there should be one to every
square mile of thickly settled resi-
dence property, the large park areas,
and pleasure drives. Mr.. Tilton said:
"The neighborhood park should be
a breathing space for folks in the
evening, a place where the father can
take the wife and children after sup
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1924-06-19

per. These parks should be carefully
laid out to combine beauty and recre-
ational facilities for the whole family
There should be walks, flowers, trees,
shrubs, sand boxes and slides for the
children, tennis, hand-ball and horse
shoes courts. 1t should be spot
where the family could relax In the
cool of the day after the strain of the
factory, Office, or home.
"These parks should never be more
than half mile walk from any resi-
edence in Kenosha.
Shut Out City. @
"The large parks should be spots,
the natural rugged character of which
has been carefully preserved, where
people could drive to get away from
the city. They should be large enough
to shut out all the sounds, sights and
smells of city life. The idea is to get
a complete change, so that the human
nervous system can let down and re-
fresh itself on nature. To be ideal,
these parks, like the Cook county for
est preserves, should be at least a
thousand acres in size.
"They should be spots where people
can go and pull down the curtain on
crowds, telephones, street cars, whiz-
zing motors and jazz.
LAST but not least the pleasure
drives should be q boulevard system,
winding over beautiful streets, where
the homes are large and impressive,
where the lawns are trim and broad,
and where trees spread their branches.
1t should connect the parks. The
pavements should be smooth SO that
when motorists roll on to them they
could breath a sigh of relief. They
should be restful avenues.
"Kenosha is pretty well supplied
with neighborhood parks east of the
North Shore line, but it is time that
attention was given to that part of
the city which is building up west of
those tracks. These areas should be
purchased by the city, or donated
through the cooperation of subdi-
viders. Figures show that the real
estate men would profit by setting
aside these areas, while if they have
to be purchased by the city, an as
sessment should be made on adjacent
property for the benefits"

ROAD REFUSES TO
PAY FOR CATTLE
Notifies Barnett that Claim
of $3.50 Will Not Be
Allowed.
TO START NEW PROBE

A complete investigation of the
facts surrounding the killing of six
teen head of the blooded cattle belong
ing to the county poor farm last Qcto-
Der when a Milwaukee road express
ploughed through the herd which had
strayed on the track, will be started
Immediately by the district attorneys
| Office.
This announcement was made today
by Morris Barnett following the re-
fusal of the road to make any adjust
ment of the claim of $3.50 for the
stock. George F. Baker, general adj
juster for the road, wrote to Mr. Bar
nett that an investigation made by the
company had failed to reveal any
negligence and that under the cir
cumstances he was sure that he would
not be justified in making any offer
of settlement to reimburse the county
for the loss sustained"
Mr.. Baker declared that the road
had given the county as much protec-
tion as possible. He added that their
probe had shown that the fences were
in good repair along the right of way,
and that shortly before the train
passed the gates had been closed.
Road Refuses Compensation.
The letter from Mr.. Baker read
as follows:
"Mr. Morris Barnett,
Districe Attorney,
|. Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Dear Sir:-"This company has been
served with a notice of claim of the
county of Kenosha, Wisconsin, in the
amount of $2,160.00 for sixteen head
of cattle which were struck and killed
by a passenger train of this company
short distance south of Ranney,
Wisconsin, October 10, 1928.
"A complete investigation of this
case was made few days after it
had occurred, and the facts submitted
to the company's legal department for
an opinion. have been advised by
our attorneys that they do not feel
there was any responsibility on the
part of the railroad, as the fences and
gates along the right of-way were in
good condition, and it was also ascer-
tanned that the gates were closed but
short time before the accident oc-
Cured After the cattle had been
struck, however, it was found that the
gates on both sides of the right
of-way were open.
at seems to me that the railroad
company gave the county of Kenosha
just as much protection in this case
! as possible, and / am sure you will
agree with me that the engineer of
the passenger train did not intention
ally strike the herd, as the collision
might have caused very serious de-
railment Under the circumstances /
am sure that / would not be justi-
fed in making any offer of settle
ment to reimburse the county for the
loss sustained"
"(Signed) George F. Baker,
General Adjuster."
