Gospel of Municipal Art.
LOCAL SOCIETIES TO BE AIDED
Movement Btarted- by a Municipal Art
to Give Praotical Suggestions
of Value In Improving Towns—Sign
Nuisances to Be Fought.
Here Js a plan by which the residents
of any town or village may learn how
to improve their communities or beau
tify their ugly sections:
The Municipal Art society of New
York intends to spread the gospel of
municipal art so far as possible among
the cities and towns of the whole of
the United States, says the New York
Tribune. It will not only help to organ
ize local municipal art societies wher
ever possible, but whenever an invita
tion is extended to it it will give prac
tical suggestions that will be of value
In the beautification of a town or city.
Announcement regarding this move
ment started by the society was made
recently by Louis 11. Cornish of New
York, chairman of the lecture commit
tee.
“We will try to inform people outside
of New York about improvements we
are trying to make here.” Mr. Cornish
said. “Any town or city that would
like to have us send n man to deliver a
lecture on municipal art, which will be
Illustrated with handsomely colored
sterooptlcon slides on a par with those
of the board of education lectures, will
be accommodated. We will aid the lo
cal women’s village Improvement so
cieties and show them how to make a
model village and when Invited to do
so will send expert men to different
towns, even to the far west, to ad
vance In a practical way the cause of
municipal art.
“There are places of historic Interest
In many little towns which are not ap
preciated. We are willing to show
the residents how’ they can be beauti
fied at little expense. Wo will light
the sign nuisances along the lines of
the railroads and aid In tho sanitary
cleaning up of towus. We will get in
touch with boards of trade nnd enlist
their Interest In the organization of lo
cal municipal societies.
"This Is an untried field, but we feel
! that the country Is ripe for it I shall
prepare lectures on municipal art and
have half a dozen assistants w’ho, as
well as I. will go from town to town
when requested to do so nnd deliver
them. Illustrated with sterooptlcon
views. We will send printed informa
tion on municipal art even to a little
farming district If requested. We will
also try to have free lecture courses
established In different towns visited
whenever It Is possible.
“City and town officials who would
like to have the aid of the Municipal
Art society are Invited to address me
ou the subject at the home of the so
ciety In the National Arts club build
ing. 119 East Nineteenth street. New
York.”
TOWN’S NEW YEAR PLEDGE.
Its Residents Agree to Total Ab
stinence to Qet Improvements.
just to be original an American town.
Hudson, 0.. took the pledge on New
Year’s day. .
You’d swear off. too. If you were In
Hudson’s place—that Is, If a coal mine
owner with mllllous should offer you
$230,000 t& cut out red liquor, says n
Hudson correspondent of the Toledo
N'ews-Boe.
The coal man who is to come down
so' handsomely for Hudson Is J. W.
Ellsworth. He was born and grew to
manhood In Hudson. He conceived the
Idea that Hudson should be a model
residence town. But he dkl not want
to create this model town In a place
where Intemperance reigned. So when
he made his proposition to Mayor Er
nest L. Filllus and later to the council
he Inserted several provisos.
The first was that no liquor should be
sold. In return for temperance Ells
worth pledged himself to provide the
village with an electric light plnut. a
waterworks and a sewage system, all
to cost $230,000. without a penny of
expense to the property Owners. He
also promised other improvements, not
ably the rehabilitation of the old West
ern Reserve university buildings.
Mayor Fllllns and the counctlmon
passed nn ordinance to submit the wet
or dry question to the citizens. There
were three saloons In town, and the
liquor dealers put tip a hard fight, but
the election just voted the town dry by
two to one.
And so, Hudson having signed the
pledge, Mr. Ellsworth's money will be
gin to flow In, and early next spring
the improvements will be started with
a rush.
