M. Trotter of Boston, and told the committee that if it called on him again it would have to get a new chairman. The President added he had not been addressed in such a manner since he entered the ‘White House. The delegation charged that Secre- tary McAdo and Comptroller Williams in the treasury and Postmaster Gen- eral Burleson had enforced segrega- tion rules in their offices. Searching fer Entombed Men. Hly, Minn., Nov. 13.—Four shifts of men are working six and one-half hours each to find the’ bodies of six entombed miners at the Sibley mine, near here. All the available carpen- ters and laborers in the surrounding towns have been put. to work. Ne sounds are heard from the miners.

But little surprise was caused when the Walker saloons were given formal notice to have their doors closed by Nov. 30 by Chief Special Agent Larson of the Indian Service, who visited there with Deputy Brandt Wednesday afternoon. Walker was the first place in the treaty belt to get its orders. The closing or- ders created little or no excitement there, owing to the fact that saloon men have been expecting the order for some time.

Massachusetts Municipalities Entered In a Tree Raising Competition. The cities and towns of Massachu- setts have an opportunity to enter a novel contest. Nearly sixty of them are already entered in a shade tree planting contest; promoted by the Mas- sachusetts Forestry association. The prize in that case is a mile of street planted to shade trees by the associa- tion. The town forest contest is more unique and farreaching in the object to be accomplished. Under the new town forest law recently passed in Mas- sachusetts cities and towns may own and operate forests of their own. It is to encourage the movement in this direction that the Massachusetts For- estry association is offering to plant 60,000 three-year-old white pine trans- plants on fifty acres of the land ac- quired for the town forest of the city or town that wing the prize. The young trees will be spaced six feet apart over the entire fifty acres. In order to enter the contest a mu- nicipality must own and set aside at least 100 acres under the new town forest law, and fifty acres of that area must be planted to forest trees. In Massachusetts the white pine is the best commercial species, and most of the places entering the contest will plant white pine. A committee appointed by the asso- ciation to judge the contest will visit all the forests. It will determine the standing of the contestants on the area acquired, the amount of planting done, the quality of the trees planted, extension provisions, advantages for lumbering and- water and soil protec- tion, fire protection, recreation and aesthetic possibilities and general im- provements. Appropriate scores are ( allowed'on each point. As a result of the requirements the city or town hav- ing the best possibilities for a perma- nent and efficient town forest wins the prize. . At.least ten entries must be made before the prize will be awarded. ‘When we consider the splendid ad- vantages which a- town forest will bring to a city or town and the small outlay required to start such a forest and to maintain it we should expect to hear of many places entering this pub- lic spirited contest. They have noth- ing to lose and much to gain.—Amer- !ican City. SCHOOL ARCHITECTURE. . Problem of Obtaining , an- Abiractive Building of Consequence. School architecture is a special prob- lem, write the American Cit; The practical re- quirements are wmauny and diverse, and the solution of the planning problem alone requires an experienced and well trained architect. Although from the . practical standpoint planning has the ! preponderance of importance, the prob lem of obtaining an attractive and dig nified looking building is of great con- | sequence to every school board. It requires more than a good carpen- ter or contractor to obtain either of | these results. Yet it is unfortunately Winona, thirty miles north of and parallel to the Iowa border, and the | legs of which extend southwest and | southeast from the twin cities to ‘Worthington and Winona, 150 miles, was Knute Nelson of Alexandria.

Is it right for local boards to work for anything but the bighest results in buildings which are to determine the future efficiency and health of the gen- eration? Should they not have at their command the best sources of informa tion possible and be cognizant of the latest development in school architee- tecture? Should public money be spent for anything but the finest buildings possible? Good results in architecture are largely a matter of evolution. of study. with a knowledge of the previous for- ward steps in design. It is evident Clough.

Management of Public Utilities Modeled- After Plan of Dayton. Norwood. a suburb of Boston, has decided by vote that it will try the town management plan which has been adopted by some fifteen other American communities, Dayton. O.. be- ing the largest community to make the experiment. Norwood will choos¢ its new town officials on the third Monday of next January. The selectmen elect- ed will employ a manager. The new charter recently adopted will wipe out the water, sewer and municipal light boa.rds the park commission and the tree warden. The assessors will become an ap- pointive board, and the town clerk and town accountant are merged in one appointive office. The appointive power will be vested in a board of five selectmen, and a new elective board of three, designat- ed a finance commission, is created. The town treasurer and tax collector still remain as elective officers, and the town will vote on appropriations the same as ever. The town manager will be responsi- ble only to the selectmen, who will have the right to remove him by a ma- Jority vote, but they must file with the town clerk, .in writing, their reasons for discharge. If he desires to do se the manager may ask for a hearing, and the selectmen are obliged to grant it Their decision will be final. ‘Working with the selectmen will be a finance commission of three, elected by the voters, who will prepare each year a town budget and submit it to the selectmen. This commission is given power to compel the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of documents and papers relating to town affairs. The usual fines and penalties in such cases are provided in the new charter. Of course witnesses may refuse to tes- tify on the ground that such testimony would tend to incriminate them. The recall is provided for. dred voters signing a petition may start the recall machinery in motion by filing the necessary papers with the town clerk. Such petition, however, it is provid- ed, cannot be filed within three months after election, Town officials are pro- hibited from making any contract with the town. Such a contract, if made. is voidable on the part of the town. and a heavy fine and imprisonment face the guilty official. As Norwood is the first Massachu- | setts town to try the town manager plan, it will be watched with interest by students of good government throughout the country. The town is well run, and its tax rate is only $11, but the proponents of the new move expect to see it run even better and hope to:see the town get more for its money than is possible under the old system. NEW MUNICIPAL IDEA. | Lynchburg Chamber of Commerce Starts Building and Loan Association. The recent successful promotion by the Lyunchburg (Va.) chamber of com loan association is perhaps unique in commercial organization work. as these institutions are usually started by a few real estate men who realize possi- bly more than others the need of such in the development of a1 community. fle new association in Lynehburg makes a start with pearly 300 stock- bolders. who have subscribed to a total |3 of something over 2.000 shares.

Many of the famous European cities have some dominant feature which is recalled when their name is mentioned, such as the canals of Venice, St. Peter’s at Rome. the Kremlin at Moscow and Unter den Linden. and the Branden- burgertor at Berlin. the Ring and the Prater at Vienna, the Louvre and Notre Dame at Paris. the Jungfern- stieg at Hamburg, the Zeile at Frank- fort, and Westminster abbey and Hyde park at London. which are notable ex- amples, crystallizing, so to speak, the fame of the city. Many European cities of small size/ have some features which are in some cases of natural origin. and in others of historical interest For example, a “dying lion” carved in the natural stone of the mountain side draws many to Lucerne. while the towns near which battles have, been fought. or where noted men were boru or are 1der to do good work.
