CITY BEAUTIFUL,
CIVIC CLUB WORK
A Series of Articles on Parks. Playgrounds,
Street Ornamentation.
Clean-Up Days, Etc.
(By Luther Ellison, Secretary Lancaster
Chamber of Commerce.)
A beautiful city Is a joy forever,
is a pleasant place In which to live
and do business. Therefore, It possesses
in Its beauty an advantage!
beyond estimate for attracting new
i people and new business Orna- i
mentation of a city by Its citizens is;
an investment which will yield in-;
calculable dividends in contentment ]
and where people are contented they
are willing to remain.
Every town or city may make it-,
self beautiful If It desires to develop
the natural opportunities of whicn
each is possessed. No city should
be without its parks, which become:
beautiful nature retreats in the >
midst of the busy hum of Industry
where the business man m^y linger 1
for a few minutes on his way home
from a day of toil and^i those few
moments go bacl^la0retrospection to
the boyhood days when his hours
were spent close to nature's heart.
Ornamentation of a city, or rather
the development of a city's possibilities,
has the effect upon that
city's people of making them better
lit for their duty, of broadening and
deepening their character, and of
creating a spirit of civic pride out
of which comes a determination to
overcome all obstacles in the way
of civic progress.
Street lighting, elminating billboards.
providing for the cleanly disposal
of all refuse, prohibiting the
tacking of signs on fences and poles,
doing artistic public improvements
and in short taking advantage as
far as possible ana practicable of
every opportunity of adding to the i
ornamental beauty of the city be-1
long to this subject.
Of late years the care of shade
trees has become such an Important
matter that nearly every town or
city of average size has its forestry
expert paid by the city to carefully
guard the life of these invaluable
ornaments. Cracks are healed by
cement as soon as they appear. New
trees are constantly being planted.
More attention is being paid to
the artistic beauty or public buildings
and street improvements, such !
ast bridges, sidewalks, etc., than
formerly. Many cities prohibit j
fences enclosing the front lawns of
residences. They also require lawns I
o be planted and properly cared fori
together with shade trees planted
aftd maintained. The result is block
after block and street after street
of what are veritable parks in
which tho citizens take a vast
amount of pride and with which
they would not dispense for love
nor' money. One thing leads to another
and in the?e , iwns and cities
one can hardly fl id -> yard but what
has its flower beds filled with blooming
plants together with clumps of
shrubbery arranged in artistic
unison with the whole scheme of1
ornamentation.
In such a town or city the bill-'
board finds small chance for lodg-1
ment. A trip through the alleys
will show a tidy condition where
closed garbage cans contain the re-1
fuse from the kitchen and back
premises. Civic pride and city loy-'
alty are such familiar words that
their definition should be on the
tongue of every school boy and girl
in Lancaster. Ornamentation is as
Important to renl progress In a city
as the addition of new industries.

taking therefrom twelve dollars
abstracting therefrom twelve dollars

Mr. Small to a rjgld crossexamination,
at the conclusion of
which he turned the witness over to
the solicitor with the remark. "Witness

BRING REFUGEES OVER.
Channel Steamers Busy With Merciful
Traffic.
Folkestone, Eng., via London.
Oct. 15.?The cross channel steamers
which have been busy for days
past transporting refugees from
Ostend, which port is now closed
owing to the approach of the Germans,
now are being employed In
bringing Belgian refugees from
Dunkirk and Calais.
Heavy firing could be heard at

Help Pave the Sidewalks.
The city council will commence
at once the laying of cement sidewalks
in all parts of the town
where the owners of the property
abutting on any cltv block will sign
an agreement in writing to pay one-,
half of the estimated cost, whiclr
will be 99 cents a lineal yard or
cents a lineal foot. We urge upon
all of our property owners to unite
with the city council in providing
the town with good side-walks,
which have been one of the town's
greatest needs for a long time. The
city can get the work done now
cheaper than at any time in the future
on account of the general depression
prevailing. There are
something like 24.000 yards of sidewalks
in the town and already property
owners have signed up for the
cementing of something like 10 000
yards. If you have not already arranged
for the laying of a cement
sidewalk in front of your property,
see the council so that the neo asary
material may be ordered at once.
