Glen Ridge, New Jersey, is the latest 
city for which a plan and improvement 
report has been prepared by Mr. John 
Nolen. It is just as handsomely illus- 
trated and as comprehensively and care- 
fully prepared as previous reports of Mi. 
Nolen’s which have been noted in these 
columns. 
“Ornamental Concrete without Molds,” 
recently published by the Norman W. 
Henley Co., claims to be a new method 
of making concrete for ornamental pur- 
poses which has hitherto been a secret 
process. It explains a simple, practical 
method whereby the concrete worker is 
enabled, by employing wood and metal 
templates of different designs, to mold 
or model in concrete any Cornice, Arch- 
ivolt, Column, Pedestal, Base, Cap, Urn 
or Pier in a monolithic form. These 
may be modeled in units or blocks and 
then built up to suit the specifications 
demanded. 
Full directions are given for making 
the templates, at a very slight cost of 
time and labor. Among the contents 
are detailed instructions for molding 
any style of Concrete Monument as well 
as placing inscriptions on it, how to mold 
several styles of Urns, and Lawn Vases 
with Pedestals, Ornamental Hitching 
Posts and Grave Markers, Fountains, 
Caps, Garden Chairs and Benches, Bal- 
usters,' Lavatories, Jardinieres, Flower 
Pots and many other forms of orna- 
mental concrete. The book sells for 
$2.00 and may be ordered from Park 
AND Cemetery. 
We have received a copy of the hand- 
somely illustrated report on the Im- 
provement of Altus, Ok., prepared by 
Mr. L. P. Jensen, landscape gardener, of 
St. Louis, for this growing young town. 
This is an encouraging evidence of the 
town's desire to grow right. It is to 
be hoped that more of the towns in the 
great Soiithwest will he caught young 
and taught how to grow right, and grow 
beautifully. The report is profusely il- 
lustrated and contains outline plans for 
a civic center, park and boulevard sys- 
tem and other features of modern city 
growth. Mr. Jensen tells us that the 
people are working hard to have the re- 
port carried out and that there is now 
under way a strong movement for the 
adoption of the civic center plans as rec- 
ommended in the report.
