It includes the legislation of 1915 relatoing to the state parks, a review of the work of the commis- sion, with ‘a statement of its policy and’general ~ aims, a description of the lands acquired and a definite plan for acquisitions recommended during the ‘coming two-year period, with an t plea for a more adequate ap- propriation. The two _appropriations hitherto made for the purchase of land, $20,000 each, have permitted only the feebiest beginnings, = while the few possible sites yet remaining on the salt water front are rapidly being cut up into lots and buildings are being erected on land which must eventually,be in- cluded within any satisfactory system of state parks. It does not seem to be realized that state parks do not consist of foun- tains and flower beds and gravel walks curving gracefully through vel- vet lawns. State parks can.never .be constructed or developed as.city parks may. be, in the places that--are left over as the city stretches out, but are intended, like the National parks, to preserve and open to the public the principal natural beauties of the state. They must, if they are-to be worthy of the state, include the best exam- ples of such’ natural beauty, and it is now about 40 years too late to se- cure sush 'sites with the funds thus ar available.
