By itself alone; bit II IL die IL

Four years ago Hayden planted

so cubic inches of seed the follow

City Realizing
Parks Dream
Beach Condemnation
First Step in Project

Condemnation of a Lake st.
Clair bathing beach for public use
last week was a major step to-
ward realization OF years-old
dream.
That dream visions the metro
politan area girdled with a chain
of parks and recreation areas
opening to the mass OF people, for
the first time. the fullness OF out
of-doors pleasure.
Detroit, despite its nearness TO
many bodies of water, has Jagged
far behind other ma ior cities in the
development of bathing beaches.
A supplemental proposal by
Henry S. Curtis of Ann Arbor
that the beach, condemned by the
Huron Clinton Metropolitan Au-
thority at the Black River near
the Clinton River be extended
into a l0-mile $4,000 project
has received no consideration by
the authority.
VISIONS BOARD WALK
Curtis, referring 10 IAN inland
Atlantic City" suggests that taxi
ing the entire lake front from the
Edsel Ford estate at Gaukler point
and including substantial amounts
of developed property would per-
nit construction OF hotels, apart
ments and a l0-mile board walk.
With more than 10000 acres
of potential park and recreation
ground within a few miles. the
metropolitan area lacks facilities
for more than a few Of its
residents.
II was 10 meet this problem
that the FIVE counties OF the met
ropolitan area Wayne, Washte-
nav, Livingston. Oakland and
Macomb. established in 1910 the
Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Au-
thority.
With authority 10 levy up to
one-quarter mill tax, the Author
ity was empowered 10 plan. de-
velop and coordinate park and
recreational projects within the
area.
II now has approximately $3.50
600 on hand. some earmarked for
land acquisition and some for
operating costs.
Next year its income will be
$3.50, 900. and in another year or
two. if it imposes the maximum
allowable tax. il will reach an
annual income of 81 100000
II works closely with the state
conservation department. wit h
state and county highway depart
mentS and with the county bodies.
Most Of its work so far has
been planning for the future. The
planners are no dreamy vision
aries. Harry B. Earhart of Wash
tenaw County is chairman.

RAPID INCREASE

The remainder yielded 20 pounds
OF wheat in 1912. In 1943, with the
same procedure being followed,
the yield was 10 bushels.
This year, the wheat covered a
14-acre field. BY the end of the
experiment in 1916 II is estimated
that 1000 acres will be required.
This years yield for the Ia
acres was estimated al 325 bush
els. an average Of 232 per acre
and weighed 50 pounds per bushel.
