BOSTON'S NEW PARK CHIEF. 



As mentioned in our notes last week 

 on the shake-up In Boston's Park De- 

 partment, John H. Dillon succeeds D. 

 Harry Sullivan as chairman of the 

 Park Board. Mr. Dillon's appoint- 

 ment by the Mayor has now been duly 

 ratified by the Civil Service Board 

 and he assumed his new duties on 

 March 11. 



John H. Dillon has been brought up 

 from boyhood in horticultural work, 

 and those who have been accustomed 

 to clamor for the appointment on park 

 boards of men with a practical gar- 

 deners' training will no doubt, see in 



John H. Dillon 



this unexpected development, the frui- 

 tion of their hopes. Mr. Dillon got 

 his first lessons from his father who 

 was gardener for Hon. Marshall P. 

 Wilder. When but a lad he had em- 

 ployment in a flower store in Boston 

 and later on with various prominent 

 growers. He has been for many years 

 employed in the Department of Pub- 

 lic Grounds of Boston, latterly as 

 foreman in charge of the Public Gar- 

 den. He has a wide circle of acquain- 

 tances in the profession, all of whom 

 will wish to see him succeed in the 

 new and trying responsibilities now 

 given him.
