Home of the older cities of the United Plates are ependlnr vaat sums of money undoing what haa already been done. In mny - Instances cities, even In this country, are laid out. with narrow and crooked streets without sdequate pro vision for parks and publlo squares, lorr-lng the grass snd flowers out of existence, and shutting out the sky. Now thlr park commissions ars spending thousands of dollars to let In tha sun HKht and coax the grass to grow again. Many cities, of which Boston Is an fx mpfe, were allowed to grow and widen without any established system of lay grounds, parks and boulevards. Um:k of confidence In their growth or want of foresight has cost many of them large expenditures of monsy often to loor advantage. Many of the western . itles era profltyig by the experience of their eastern neighbors and are adopting plans of parka and boulevard eynlpms In advance of their growth. Biid acquiring the land while property values are comparatively low. This has bwn - a fortunate order of things for many of the newer cities of the union, because boulevards could be laid out so ss to take a suitable advantage of grade and view on the elevations so conimon.la towns and cities of ths west.

Thia shows that .municipal art In Ita best expression Is , dependent largely on an efficient city government. Another reform In clvlo matters which many western cities would do well to adopt I to create tha office of Inspector of weights and measures and hare such officer paid a salary. Kansas t'tty and ; Detroit have made notable eucceas in the enforcement of tha ordinances reg ulating tha Inspection and sealing of weight and measures. This branch of city government 1 destined to protect tha home from short weights and meas ures - of produce and. provisions. Ilka coal, wood. Ice, potatoes, oil, milk, etc. Revelation made during agitation for such a municipal regulation hav shown that great need exist for such an offi cer. Although there ara very many hon est tradesmen there 1 still a thief for every opportunity allowed to steal. We need' an Inspector of dairies whoso duty It shall be to visit tha milk ranches around our city-and make a report of their condition, for no one should be allowed to serve milk to cus tomers In the city from a dairy that Is not properly conducted, or where the milk Itself doss not stand the required test. Such a system Is necessary, though It occasionally falls. Its fail ures will prove the -necessity. There . are always left a few people of philan thropic tendencies who will make it their business to watch Inspectors. If the Inspector are straightforward they will not mind being watched. If a bell Is sound the harder you tap It with a hammer the clearer lt rings. Infant Mortality. In an eastern town there was a hocking Infant mortality a season ago that was traced to milk. Tha Woman's club complained of the Inspector, and tbo political boss of the place told tha women they were going out of their sphere to take a hand In politics. They replied that "women's sphere wss not only outside the home, but Inside the hahV No Intelligent person, of this age can be Indifferent to the source of food supply.
