What fi Being Dona In Various Com munities In This Direction, A eoinmlttifo of the .ward of trndo In Lowell. Masn., bus taken 1111 Inventory of nil the billlxuirdh In the town ami has cniuuiuiilcati'd with thy outhorl-tlL-8 n- jucstiiiK that the IcimhiK of boards on tltj property be dtacoittln-ui-d when the time comes for ( heir re newal. The committee siijh that the revenue received 1h a trille compared with the harm done to the beauty of the town. Following the example of large cities nnd more recently many small oiioh, Kuston, fa., has adopted an iintlspit thitf law, and the measure has been signed by Mayor McKeen. People who have been In the habit of spit ting tobacco juice over the sidewalks or on floors of public buildings will be placed under arrest and lined for their olTcnses If they are continued. No tices of warning have been posted. Conspicuous Improvements hnvo been inado this summer In the appearance of Iho business section of IJtlen, N. Y. New cement walks have been laid on Genesee nnd other central streets. This has been the result of agitation started last winter by President Baker of tho council, who says he was led to give ntlention to the matter by his observation that, whereas tho city was spending thousands of dollars up Into tho millions. In fact to provide proper places upon which dumb animals might travel, the ways which humankind must tread were left in n condition un lit even for the animal kingdom, Sunnyskle, one of tho longest streets In Burlington, In., Is to be paved Its entire length In tho near future. The street extends from one city limit to the other, and much of the property nhutting tho street Is farm laud. Al though the legal assessment derived from this property would not begin to pity tho cost, the return value of the pavement has been fully promised by citizens anxious for the Improvement and who arc more than willing to pay their full share of the assessment. As n measure for the protection of tho school children of New Orleans, City Health O Ulcer V. T. O'Kellly will make n sugestlun to the school board that, beginning at tho next term, all pupils l)e compelled to bring their own drinking cups and that common cups nnd dippers for tiro uso of nil he abol ished. Under nn ordinance recently passed by tho city council of Knoxvllle, Tenu., It Is unlawful to put down any side ivftlk In the cty limits except of con crete. Tho specifications provide for insieetlojis by the city Inspector, nnd every safeguard is throwu around the i ordinance to give the property owner a good sidewalk nnd protect him against any inferior work. The park and cemetery commissions of Grand Kaplds, Mich., hnvo adopted formal resolutions lu reference to criti cisms that have been made agnlnst the superintendents of tho public parks on account of their being engaged In pri vate landscape work. The board takes the ground that' tho performance of such work for citizens of Grand Itap lds results tu the fmluttantinJ Unnrovo- meni in trie nppearance "or tne'town end that when done for neighboring towns they nre simply doinu a neigh borly act which 'tends to rni the prestige of Grand Itaplds in matters of outdoor art, besides having a tend ency to educate the superintendents and give them larger experience. Pays to Beautify School Grounds, There Is no way in which the taste of the community may be better dis played than In tho proper embellish ment of the school grounds. , A few places are so handicapped as to be comparatively helpless, but such con ditions are only temporary, nnd even tually alt may 1 placed In the lino toward beautifying the one piece of ground in each section In which all are Interested. Well planted and "well cared for school grounds are a prom inent feature In making any district a part of the town beautiful, for few residents care to have their properties unfavorably commented upon by al lowing them to become unkempt when near a piece of public property of unquestioned orderly and ornate ap pearance. Planting Railway Station Grounds. The custom of planting railway sta tion grounds Is each year becoming more widespread, and the observant traveling public Is making Its npprovnl of the same so manifest that nil lines must eventually take up this work of aiding In the city and town beautiful movement If the plant loving traveler will but commend the railway olllchils for their enterprise nnd foresight In embellishing their lines of travel, all will quickly Join lu the work of beauti fying these places. Spacious, well planned depot grounds nre ns much capital to the cities and towns in which they are situate ns to the corporation to which they belong, so that munici palities should encourage and nid them In every way possible. Deceiving Pictures. The battle between the cntaloguo houses for supremacy Is not being fought out by n calm comparison of goods, quality for quality nnd price for price, but on the Rpectacular field of advertising. The one great object of the catalogue house Is to make the sham and the shoddy look like the real thing In a picture. Plans Beautifying a River Frorrt. Tree planting, sodding and gardening to beautify tho liver front Ht Louis ville, Ky., Is a proposition occupying the attention of the Outdoor Art league. The intention of the league is to work with the Commercial club nnd trans form what has boon for years an eye sore to a beautiful front park. Marked for Death.
