In conversation with some of our
citizens this morning I learned a
large number have arranged to visit
Haines tomorrow, and others to
visi* near-by places for picnio pur
poses. As so many who are In
terested in the success of the spec
ial service will not be able to at
tend on the night o* 'iie Fourth,
i; tuny be better to have no such
leathering, and as the suggestion
came from the pulpit of the Metho
dist Church, the meeting is hereby
cancelled.
Sincerely,

About eighty years ago. when Strnt

:he American City, la the course of

purchased by the municipality and
placed un<ler tbe control of a board of
public park management. This board

Victoria. a:iJ otherwise Improving It.
This Is a great report during the
warm weather, boa tin* Is very popular
and the lake is a suitable boating place
for at">ut <>ne and a half miles. The
board has also acquired drives on
either side. that on the south connect
ing with Victoria park, in the eastern
part of the city. Arrangements are be
lng made t > < omplete a drive down the
stream to Avondale pari, on the south
western limits of the «lty, thus form
ing a complete chain across the city
from east to west. Tbe city council has
furnished funds for carrying out these
Improvements by the levy of a rate of
one-half tn.'l on the dollar.
Stratford has a very progressive hor
ticultural society, which. In conjunc
tion with the park board; does much to
beautify the city parks and streets by
planting flower beds, making Stratford

CITY PUBLICITY BOARD.
Suggestion Offered ky Philadelphia
Committee Good For Smaller Towns.
The permanent committee on com
prehenshe plaus of Philadelphia In a
rej>ort recently Issued advocates the
appointment of a municipal publicity
'■omiuiss. !i that sliaH handle all mat
ters connected with - throwing the
Quaker I'ltv Into the national sj>ot

zens kui'u little regarding: Philadel
phia and that little attention usually
!s given toward Instructing them. In
th&t respect the committee recom
mends that the following educational
methods be applied, and the sugges
tions are good for other municipali
ties. large or small:
Institute a course of free lectures In
city planning and monlclpal develop
ment. These should be given In series
and be historical In nature, showing
primitive planning and present day
methods. Establish • lecture bureau
for the citizens in order that various
officials niav be made easily availa
ble to address public meetings, thus
giving first hand authoritative Infor
mation. as well as unbiased reports of
the projects In hand and contemplated
To educate the children In city plan
ning by means of textbooks, moving
pictures and a graded course of studv
In the schools, the moving pictures
could be shown at motion picture
houses, with enough reading to sup
plement and carry the lesson to the
spectators.
In regard to the committee, the re
port advoca:cs that It be given perma
nent headquarters, where the public
could come ami see. by means of maps,
pictures and books, the plans of the
committee put forth plctorlallv and by
means of clr-ulars.
The report declares that the purpose
of the committee and Its advice to all
citizens Is to aid In making Philadel
phia "more healthy, convenient, pros
perous and lieautlful." It Is necessary
too. to prepare a program of progress,
not alone for the present, but for
twenty-five years ahead. It Is suggest
ed that the work be divided Into three
parts—development, exploitation and
education.

BEAUTIFUL
WASHINGTON WILL
HAVE MODEL HOMES
Demonstrate* Relationship Betwean
Good Houaing and Goodi'-iaalth.
I'lans have Just been completed for
> he erectiou of a series of model homos
In tlie city of Washington for"the pur
pose of demonstrating to the nation
the relationship between good bousing
an.l good health. These are to be
known as the Ellen Wllsoui homes uid
are not an experiment, but (Intended as
a demonstration to the entire United
States.
The intimateiconnecllon between bad
housing and bad health and good
housing and good health is clearly rec
ognized in Washington, where the alley
dwellings have long been a matter- of
concern both to the health authorities
and to public spirited citizens who
wish the Capital City to be an example
to the nation. The alley* have been
paved, sewers and water mains have
been laid in thein, they are lighted and
cleaned a* are the streets. Yet the.v keep
their old lend over the streets when it
comes to totaling the figures for dis
ease and death.
In this Washington's e.\perleuce has
been like that of Liverpool and other
European cities which tried unsuccess
fully to make badly sir.nfed dwellings
wholesome by cleaning and fumigating.
After thirty-three years of unavailable
effort to improve that which was fun
j damentall.v bad, Liverpool finally de
cided the only hope lay In wiping out
| its insanitary ureas, it demolished the
I old houses by the ai re and In place of
j them built new bouses. Where dwell
[ ings have been crowded so close to
gether that there was scarcely passage
J room for a stout man to squeeze his
j way to one of the old rear houses, it
i built new dwellings opening upon wide
I spaces which provided light and air.
j Immediately sickness and death de
creased. a;.d with them vice and crime.
What had seemed a hopeless struggle
for ni.ire t'l.ni n -retieration was won.
Other ci'h's I1' Europe have done the
same and with the same results, but
what makes Liverpool's figures of un
usual \:t'iv is th;.t the new houses are
occupied by the same people who oc
• upie 1 the old ones.
Congress lias enacted a law which
goes into cT i-t on July 1, 1918, accord
in'; t.i wbi !i all the alley dwellings hi
the District of Columbia must cease to
lie used for dwelling purposes. Mean
while, in order that there may lie ac
couimodntloii for those who will lie
forced to seek new homes in street
houses, thc-e has been organized a
lim'ted dividend company which Is to
build horses that will be uot only s:tni
tary: {hat \v: 1 provide not only abitnd
ance of light and air. but houses
attractive architecturally, homelike in
their arrangements and containing
bathrooms and provisions for hot wa
ter in place of the old outdoor closets
and hydrants.
Such horses as those cannot, of
course, yield the return upon the in
vestment that the old bouses did. In
fa t congress in its act Incorporating
the Ellen Wilson Homes, limited its
dividends to r> pi-r cent net.
