CIVIC IMPROVEMENT IN A GROWING TOWN Activities of Michigan Village Outlined by Public Works Superintendent. The activities of Highland Park, Mich., in civic improvement in the last few years have been worthy of note, says E. C. Foster, superintendent of public works, in the American City. The construction of new streets, the re- paving of old thoroughfares, the laying of new sewers and the building of a great storage reservoir are among its achievements. Hamilton boulevard, one of the main streets, is two miles and a quarter long and has been repaved this past year with creosote blocks. A thirty-four foot strip has been left in the center for a street car line, with park space on either side of the tracks. The road- way, which measures 100 feet over all, allows for two twenty foot driveways in addition to the center park. The eost of this work when fully completed will be about $241,000. The work is all done by the construction depart- ment of the village, and if there had not been delays in getting the materials when needed the work, which was be- gun in July, 1916, would have been completed before last fall. In addition to this work the depart- ment has paved a total of eight miles of streets and constructed a municipal asphalt plant this past year. Five miles of sewers were also laid, and the inter- secting sewer system which will con- nect with the mains of the city of De- troit has just been completed at a cost of ,000. Excavation for -the 46, 000,000 gallon reservoir has been com- pleted, and the concrete work will be carried on as soon as possible. The reservofr, with the filtration plant, which: will also be erected this spring, will cost $375,000. Column lights are being installed throughout the entire village. The installation is already completed on Woodward avenue and Hamilton boulevard, and when the en- tire system is finished the village of Highland Park will have gone a long way toward being one of the best light- ed villages in the country. In 1912 the population of Highland Park was 4,500 and today it is over 80,000. Among the past improvements not included in those mentioned above are thirty-five miles of paved streets, ninety miles of sidewalks, seventy-five miles of sewers and 125 miles of water mains. FIGHTING THE BILLBOARDS. Agitation In Massachusetts Against This Form of Public Nuisance. Just as the eutire country is under obligations to Iilinois for the stand ft has taken with relution to the inhibi- tion of Dbillboards in Chicago, where property frontase consents are lacking, 80 will the whole country be under ob- ligations to Massachusetts if it shall prohibit the ction of signboards along its hiy the Christian Science Monito en five years to.obtain ¢ vt Cogl sion with regard to the validity of the Chicago billboard ordinance. It may take some time to clear away all the legal obstacles’to the enforcement of a sweeping billboard act of the Massa- chusetts legislature, but no time that leads to eventual victory in the com- paign against signboard disfigurements is wasted or can be lost. It is true of the billboard interests, as it is of all others in the enjoyment of special privileges, that they are nev- er coutent with a reasonable length of rope. Invariably they demand it all. Ordinary roads were not enough for the Massachusetts billboard companies. They must erect their offensive struc- tures along the scenic highways. In his recent message to the leghlntura Governor McCall said: - “The state has at great expense con- structed some scenic highways which have upon either side views of great beauty. The chief purpose of this ex- penditure would be defeated if these views were permitted to be disfigured for prlvate'gniuA I am informed that billboards and other large advertising signs are being constructed along these routes and that the viéws are broken and their beauty impaired. The legis- lature should exercise its power to pre- vent this disfigurement either by pro- hibiting such signs entirely or by mak- ing them a subject of a heavy tax.” For Better Housing. Indicating not only its interest in its employees, but also its realization that contented workmen are necessary to the success of any big business, the General Fireproofing company, Youngstown, O., has been conducting a unique publicity campaign to secure better housing con- ditions for its men. This campaign has been carried on through newspaper ad. vertising, in which the househiolders of Youngstown aud the keepers of boarding houses are urged to take in as lodgers and boarders the young men in the employ of the compuany. The de- sirability of these young men is empha- sized and stress is laid on their need for wholesome and suitable home sur- roundings.
