THURSDAY EVENING, HARRI&BURG TELEGRAPH JULY 29, 1915.
tnuch of the seventy-two hours as can
be allowed.
The Car
However thQ route-finders got a
pretty fair idea of the things Harris
burg has done for itself since 1902.
Incidentally the party got some good
tips on Assistant Superintendent Hof
fert's capabilities as a chauffeur of the
park department car.
The party left Mancet Square at
2:20 and followed practically the en
tire route which will be covered by
the auto train in September. This
will be arranged in detail later. In
brief here are some of the points
touched upon:
Across the Susquehanna to the city
island via the Market street bridge—
a modern structure of concrete and
steel, by the way, which has replaced
the old frame "camel back" in the last
fifteen years—the rdute-tlnders swung.
Glimpses of the city nursery, the new
coal wharf of the Electric Light Com
pany and the city's filter plant
probably one of the first big munici
pal improvements provided by Harris
burg—were had before the turn to the
lower end of the islanuf. An import
ant point on the September inspection
trip, however, will be the filtration
plant. Before the party left the island
they had a look at some hundreds of
youngsters playing on the island play
grounds and at the lower point an
other hundred or so were enjoying
themselves at the island bathhouse.
The First Exhibits
A genial young "life-guard" in an
amazing grass-green bathing suit call
ed upon one or two crop haired
youngsters to show Mr. Hopkins some
high diving stunts.
From the island the party sped
back to the city and then on down
Front street, past the splendid parks,
under the new concrete subway of
the Cumberland Valley railroad tracks
While not a city-bought improvement,
it is nevertheless a monolith in the
history of the city's public improve
ment history.
How the perspective of the sightseer
may be broadened and deepened by
the distance was pretty well illustrated
while the party was enroute from the
island. The sweep of the great
stretch of the "front steps of Harris
burg" with the white Front street sub
way in the background could only
have appeared to sucn splendid ad
vantage from that point. Just what
a magnificent Job the new Cumberland
Valley bridge really is by the way.
could be partially appreciated when
the party had a first-hand view from
the island point.
The Pioneer Plunge
At Paxton street Superintendent
Hoffert swung Tils car Into the park
river front and then much to the con
sternation of his fellow-riders, he
chugged over the embankment to the
broad granolithic walk along the
water's edge.
The bank. In time, was reached via
the Paxton street landing road but
Mr. Hoffert kept to the edge of the
park. Thus the route-finaers could
see more of the steps, the newly In
stalled standard lights of the park,
and the sweep of the grading opera
tions on the embankment by which Mr.
Taylor is turning the lower "river
bank' into a real park.
Not so many years ago, when you
were seven or eight, perhaps, that
river bank was a mass of jimson weed
end willotvs —splendid Indian and buf
falo' country, if you were seven or
eight, 'tis true —but not exactly con
ducive to good health.
The Passing of a Hunting Ground
Gone are the mouths of the sewer
inlet's that offered such splendid sum
mering places for mosquitoes; gone
are the odors; gone the high water
possibles, the ragged line of "river
bank" with its heaps of ashes and
refuse, the Jimson weeds and the wil
lows. Only the memory of the hunt
ing grounds of the Indian and the buf
falo remain. That's a matter of but
fifteen years, too.
The park car zigzagged along the
embankment edge and the route tind
ers had a good view of the dam—the
only one of its peculiar kind of con
crete construction in the country, 'tis
said—and thence over the brand new
Dock street bridge to the new mu
nifipal asphalt repair plant in South
Ninth street.
Upstairs a genial official opened a
big vat of boiling asphalt anjJ showed
the party how the asphalt for repair
ing Harrisburg's streets is prepared.
After a few minutes of that the party
escaped to the outer air, where the
thermometer only registered in the
lower nineties.
Tlie Story of a Great Game
Sycamore street playgrounds, the
new five-acre recreation section re
cently bought by Commissioner Tay
lor. was visited next. Scores of men
were, -busy grading the eighth-mile
track so that it can be in shape for the
annual playground meet before school
opens. Incidentally an excited crowd
of pig-tailed girls from the Penn
building vigorously explained to Mr.
Taylor how and why they lost at the
interplayground ball match.
From the playgrounds the car hur
ried to the Cameron parkway. Many
evidences of the improvement spirit
that has made Harrisburg famous are
there. For instance, along Spring
creek is the big four-foot steel rein
forced concrete sewer that drains the
whole end of the Hill south of the
Philadelphia and Reading railroad and
the new concrete stone-faced bridge
that spans Spring creek.
In Cameron Parkway
Less than fifteen years ago that par
ticular section of Spring creek valley
was little less than a chestnuting
ground for hosts of small boys who
wanted an objective point for a Sat
urday "tramp in the country." To
day it is a splendid driveway and in a
few years, judging from present ap
pearances of the young elms along the
route. It will be arched with grand old
trees.
The first shovel of earth in the new
section of the parkway, the stretch
that will swing past Potter's Field,
skirt the edges of Paxtang Park and
follow the line of the creek past the
ages-old stone springhouse near the
Paxtang subway, was turned yester
day. Park Commissioner Taylor
showtd his party where the proposed
new roadway will be constructed.
Skirting the almshouse, the party
left the parkway route and swung
around to Melrose street and thence
through Bellevue Into Reservoir Park.
In the distance the party saw the
green lacing of trees that marked the
valley of Paxtang creek—the route of
the proposed extension of the city's
new encircling parkway drive.
On the way to Reservoir the party
had another evidence of Mr. Hofffert's
ability at the wheel.
Nearer Their Home
The road winds along the East Har
risburg Cemetery and the car'had to
make a sudden sharp turn to get Into
the main road. Mr. Hoffert whirled
the wheel and the car dove—for a mo
ment—toward the cemetery fence.
"That," explained Mr. Taylor, who
acted as a sort of sightseeing an
nouncer.' "is the cemetery!"
"Yes, I thought we were pretty close
to the cemetery that time." observed
Mr. Hopkins when he had recovered
his breath.
A few minutes later the automobile
moved into Reservoir Park and for ten
minutes route Anders sped over the
roads in that splendid part of Harris
burg's park system.
On Oak Knob
The stone-parapeted outlook a-top
of Oak Knob, the new high service
reservoir, the acres of sloping lawns,
the new golf house, the tennis courts,
the links, and the great curving drive
way recently constructed to form the
Twenty-first street entrance to the
park—they were all visited long
enough to give the visitors a brief
idea of the wonders of the popular
recreation place.
From Reservoir the party turned
back to the citv, had a swift glance at
the Twelfth. Penn, Caldcr and Em
erald street playgrounds and then
moved to Wildwood. Just as the car
turned into the park entrance the oc
cupants caught a glimpse of the con
creted basin of Paxton creek. The im
provement begins at Maclay street and
Is one of the big jobs which is prac
tically completed.

of how in the last few years the one
time "Wetzel's Swamp" was converted
into what is probably the most beauti
ful natural park in this section of the
country, was had by the route-finders.
Less than a decade ago old huntsmen
and fishermen and occasionally a few
i picnickers invaded that big stretch
of woodland and they did so fearfully.
To-day Wildwood is a regular picnic
ground *for hundreds of Harrisburg's
small-folk.
The route-finders, on their way tfl
the big dam which controls by the |
weir-and-outfall system, the supply of
water that flows into Paxton creek the
party passed over the old "grass road."
More than a hundred years ago that
highway was a popular one for the
.scores of farmers, and, often by the
moccaslned folks who preceded Mr.
I Harris to this part of the country.
Why Floods Arc No More
The flood control and dam at the
upper end >of Wildwood was among
Harrisburg's early improvements—a
matter of some ten or a dozen years
ago—and in addition to preventing the
wasteful and more or less disastrous
floods of j?ast years along the creek
valley, it nelps form Wildwood lake.
The lake rippled like a diamond in
a green setting of wooded banks yes
terday afternoon and the park car and
its party paused for a few minutes on
the brow of a wooded bluff to enjoy
the scene. It's a safe bet that the
big auto train in September will stop
sometime there, too.
Swinging around the curving bluff
road of Wildwood overhanging the
lake the party finally reached the
boathouse. And after a few minutes,
started on the last lap of its inspec
tion trip, out the Llnglestown road to
the river and thence the new stretch
of State improved highway to Market
Square.
At the End of the Circle
Enroute the party had a fleeting
glimpse of the girl campers on Mc-
Cormick's island. A little further
down the route-finders saw where the
line of the city's front steps begin at
Maclay street. That newly improved
section of the river park was observed
briefly as the car sped past. This was
also true o fthe new plaza at the rear
of the pumping station.
But all these points will get more
than passing attention, however, when
the auto train swings round the circle,
because Harrisburg will have much to
show.
That in why and what Harrisburg is
planning to celebrate September 23,
24 and 21.
