pointed superintendent of parks of

.Alexander Cuming, Citj^ Forester 
of Hartford, Conn., has been appoint- 
er Superintendent of Streets for that 
city. Mr. Cuming was before coming 
to Hartford, Superintendent of Stoke 
Pogis, a suburban tract near Phila- 
delphia. 
Samuel Cole, recently elected Su- 
perintendent of Cemeteries at Beverly, 
Mass., has declined to act, and it is re- 
ported as likely that George F. Stand- 
ley will continue to serve. 
The Park Board of Dallas, Tex., 
has re-elected Superintendent W. R. 
Tietze and increased his salary from 
$125 to $150 a month. 
John Nolen, of Cambridge, Mass., 
has been engaged as landscape archi-

William S. Egerton, for over a 
quarter of a century superintendent 
of parks, at ..Albany, N. Y., was re- 
cently removed from office by Com- 
missioner Greenlach on the charge of 
irregularities in the pay-rolls. It is 
alleged that Superintendent Egerton 
destroyed at the end of each week 
the time slips presented to him by 
the men employed in the bureau of 
parks. The announcement has caused 
much comment. Mr. Egerton has al- 
ways been one of Albany’s most 
prominent citizens, and, as Commis- 
sioner Greenlach stated, one of the 
most efficient men in the service of 
the city.
