PARK AND CEMETERY.

PERSONAL 
Philip Breitmeyer, park commissioner 
of Detroit, was nominated by the Repub- 
lican party for mayor of that city and 
was elected by a good majority. 
The Park Board of Indianapolis re- 
cently visited Kansas City to inspect the 
park system of that city under the guid- 
ance of George E. Kessler, the landscape 
architect of the park systems of both 
cities. 
Arthur G. Comey, of Cambridge, 
Mass., has been appointed superintend- 
ent of Parks at Utica, N. Y. Mr. 
Comey is a graduate of Harvard Uni-

Elbridge L. Knowlton has been ap-

Frederick Law Olmsted has been re- 
planning the paths on the campus of 
Yale University at New Haven, in order 
to preserve the lawn. On this subject 
Mr. Olmsted says: “One way to pre- 
serve grass is to lay paths where people 
want to go. You can ascertain this by 
studying the paths worn on the sod that 
was. Make these paths official and dig 
up the ones laid out.” 
Park Superintendent W. L. Cukerski, 
and Cemetery Superintendent Eugene V.
