PARK IMPROVEMENTS AMOUNTED TO $8,600 j [Continued From First Page] 1 I from the loan $17,341.20 toward still ! other improvements." Chief among the permanent im -1 provements is the lighting system fot the River Fropt Park between Faxton street and Iron alley and for the Twelfth street playgrounds. Enough was saved from the balances to pro vide for the installation and the city is therefore required to pay only for th» current. At that a balance of $293.38 I : reverts to the general fund as a bal- i I ance at the close of the year. What the Department Did Mr. Taylor calls attention among j other things to the creation of the City Planning Commission, the office of city forester, the concentration of these offices with the park department and j the fact that the general standard of I the system was kept up in main- j I tenance. Then he explains in detail | ! the various changes and improvements ! made in all the playgrounds; at j McCormick's Island; the acquiring of '• practically all of the hitherto unac | quired parkway property between I Cameron's and the Reservoir; the treatment of the River Front; the pur chase of the Sycamore street play j ground: the planting of hundreds of ; trees in the parks and the setting out Jof fifty-four trees in the strets. all I from the city nursery on the island. Bridges were constructed and the hun dred and one little details such as . painting, repairing, placing of stones I here and there in roadways, laying of sewers, purchasing some fifty tons of | lime for fertilizing purposes, the in stalling of fountains on thetDetweiler I memorial. The New Clubhouses The improvements at the tennis courts, the purchase of new play ground apparatus are mentioned. Par ticular attention, however, is called to the erection of the new shelters on the slope of Cherry Hill at Reservoir, the construction of the new tennis clubhouse and the awarding of a con tract for the erection of a new golf clubhouse. "We have fallen short of many of our alms for this year, hut we never theless feel not a little proud of this : record, and with the increased knowl j edge and experience gained during this year we look forward to the coming i year confident that still better results S will be realized," concludes the park head's report for 1914. Mr. Taylor, however, does not forget the work of the old park board and he pays the old commissioners this tribute; Tribute to Old Park Board I "This report, of necessity, marks an epoch, since it is the dividing line in our city's development between the work of the Harrisburg Park Commis sion and that of the new regime in augurated by the commission form of government for the third class cities of Pennsylvania and which auto matically retired the former commis sion. "The splendid work of those gentle men Is their best monument and it Is so familiar to all who have watched Harrisburg's progress since 1902 that reference to it is superfluous. "However, it seems but proper that the incoming regime should, in some manner, publicly recognize the serv ices of the Harrisburg Park Commis sion, and shoudl spread upon the rec ords of the city its appreciation of the successful conception and great ad vancement of what is destined to be one of the best of this country's park system. The achievements of the nast impose the greater obligations upon the pr/sent and it is with the earnest hope of proving worthy of our trust that we assume the duties relinquished by the old commission."
