PERSONAL 
At a recent meeting of the Tenafly, 
N. J., Borough Club, at which the sub- 
ject of parks and playgrounds had the 
right of way, Frederick W. Kelsey, of 
Orange, a former member of the Essex 
County Park Board, made an excellent 
address on the subject, detailing his own 
broad experience in park matters as a 
guide to those of Tenafly, who were em- 
barking in the establishment of an up- 
to-date park system. 
The Board of Park Commissioners of 
Louisville, Ky., recently abolished the 
offices of superintendent in Cherokee, 
Iroquois and Shawnee Parks, and ap- 
pointed Ernest Kettig, general superin- 
tendent of the Louisville Park System, 
at a salary of $1,800 a year and a house 
in Shawnee Park. 
Edward A. Merriam has been ap- 
pointed superintendent of Forest Hills 
Cemetery, Chattanooga, Tenn. 
We have received from Mr. A. R. 
Mengers, secretary Hanover Cemetery 
Association, Hanover, Kansas, a photo 
and notes on what has been accom- 
plished to improve their grounds the 
past season. At the corner where once 
was a rock quarry, formal flower beds 
liave been arranged, the water supply 
coming from a tank on the hill. This 
spot had been allowed to grow up to 
weeds, being unfit for burial purposes. 
Directors were elected who had the im- 
provement of the cemetery at heart and 
a start has been made. More trees and 
shrubbery are greatly needed over the 
grounds which is work for the future.
