Memphis 



Memphis was one of the first cities of the Middle West to acquire a chain of 

 parks. It will be observed that its system is already fairly complete. The use of 

 the water-front is not considerable, but the Mississippi River is its only water-front, 

 in sharp distinction from Philadelphia. This city is exceptionally fortunate in its 

 two river-fronts. The Delaware is amply able to take care of the larger traffic, 

 leaving the Schuylkill for such traffic as the Seine takes at Paris, — coal-barges, 

 river-transit systems, etc. Such traffic will not at all interfere with making the 

 Schuylkill a water parkway, occupying the very heart of our city.
