The merit ot community better

can function effectively for social
purposes.
(leneral propositions with recard
to this work are easily slated. VII-
la««a ou«ht Io be easily reached
and their approach«« direct, dur
able and enjoyable Houaln« condi
tions should be sanitary, convent
«nt and economical. Public build-
in«« should be built with a view to
.heir relationships to each othe<-
snd the needs of tbs community,
both from a viewpoint o t doing
business and of attractiveness.
Points of I tstorlc Interest should
be preserved und restored. Itump
heaps and ron«eeted places should
give way Io open spares, and ro
i l cat ten spots In abundance should
be easily accessible.
Above all, a community plan
which Lie majority wants and will
help Io make effective, and one suf
ficiently flexible to allow for grow-

pride la the city park.
Bines 1901 thia little city of 1709
persons has spent $2600 for a
acre lake. <Vs feet deep; (226 for a
children's wading pool; $1900 for
an elerltlc fountain with three
basins of slune gathered from near
by hills; $1400 for u woman's rest
house and about the sam e for one

$125 for mcuntln« a granite glac

and varylu« amounts tor a dancing
platform, athletic fields, camping
grounds, benches and walks. The
average annual inalntenanre rost Is
only $1600 a year.
Ovir a period of 26 or 30 years
such expendltuies Impose no «real
strain on such a community «nJ In
many Indirect ways the resulting
park returns direct financial bene
fit which will perhaps equal the ex
prndltuies.
Even more striking In some ways
Is Fairy Pell Highway Park In
Sauk county. Wla., where only $200
ot actual money was spent In open
ing the park and a negligible main
ti-nance sum Is contributed every
rear by the county. A persistent
highway patrolman who organised
working bees and aroused the In
terest of the neighborhood result
ed In creation of a beautiful na
tural park there. The work Involved
clearing ot underbrush, construc
tion of a dam, bridge pavilion, te
pees, paths, and piping of a spring.
It has drawn visitors from all over
the United tBates and from foreign
countries.

Few states have profited more
by village planning distinct from
strictly county or rural planning,
than Massachusetts. Among the
Bay S tale towns which In recent
years have re-arranged civic cen
ters, town halls, libraries, parks,
and other community adjuncts in
to new patterns are Weston, Had
ley, Cohasset and Stockbridge.
Stockbridge has probably had a
