PARK AND CEMETERY. 
XI 
tive purposes other than enjoyment 
through the eyes, the park will be 
worth more to the public, but it 
would be ruinous to let the public 
use all portions to the destruction of 
beauty. It is one of the purposes of 
a general plan to indicate certain por- 
tions of a park that can be used and 
as far as possible the way in which 
each such portion is intended to be 
used. It is necessary, however, lo 
supplement the general plan by cer- 
tain reasonable rules and regulations 
and for the superintendent to resort 
to various expedients to accomplish 
the ideas and purposes of the general 
plan and of the rules and regulations. 
If a park has been improved accord- 
ing to a well considered general plan 
and if the park is misused to such a 
degree as to destroy much of the 
beauty for which the park was 
created, it is likely that the park com- 
missioners and their employees have 
not had sufficient experience as to 
how the use of parks is properly 
guided and controlled, or else it is 
due to indifference or inefficiency or 
to a mistaken policy of spending too 
much of the available money for less 
important purposes. 
[To be concluded.)

$10,000 for the purchase and equip- 
ment of a public park. Mayor Dog- 
gett has received advices from Austin 
that Assistant Attorney General Stu- 
der has refused to approve them, giv- 
ing as his reason that cities incorpora- 
ted under the general law have no 
such authority. The attorney general 
also is of the opinion that there is no 
authority for granting such power 
even by special Legislative charter.

most of the public bodies and promi- 
nent citizens have expressed them- 
selves as favoring the removal of the 
old city hall and the condemnation of 
the old Center block, between Wash- 
ngton, Hennepin and Nicollet avenues
