Land values in cities with well de-.
veloped park systems are incerased
about $200 per lot, Prof. Harlow O.
Whittemore of the landscape design
department said yesterday, and :n
rural districts they are raised at least
the same amount per acre.
A system of municipal sparks could
be developed in Ann Ar'jor at little
cost and effort, he added, if the
natural surroundings adjacent to the
Huron River and present park citiesS
were assimilated into the present park
.layout. This, he said, would entail
a planned program of expansion and
development in which river frontage,
scenic drives and recreational facili-
ties like indoor and outdoor swim-

further south, by obtaining the in-
termediate strip either by purchase,
lease, or outright gift. Then Swift
Street would connect Longshore Park
to Glen Drive and a scenic parkway
would be completed reaching from1
Whitmore Lake Road through to
Island Park in the middle of Cedar'
' Bend.
Also, he said, the tract of flat land
lying across the river from Long-
shore Park should be sought and de-
veloped as part of that park.
The land south of the Botanical
Garden and Stadium Boulevard
could advantageuosly be turned into
a park, he claimed, as it is too low to
be suitable for building purposes. In
he center of this tract a combina-
tion indoor and outdoor swimming
pool could be erected, he said, modern
housing innovations which would per-
mit a shelter house structure for out-
door bathing and removable glass
siding which could be raised each
? winter for indoor swimming are fea-
sible.
The last site needed to complete the
circle of parks around Ann Arbor is
the expanse of land lying south of the
Forestry School's experiment forest,
White Woods.
There is no reason why, with cer-
tain simple adjustments and en-
gineering projects, the Huron River
could not be made to form a lake at.
least six miles long above Ann Arbor-
which would permit a boating course.
Michigan, he said, surpassed in wa-
ter frontage by only Florida, does
not own facilities for pleasure boat-
ing.
the expenses to be entailed, though
appearing large, Professor Whitte-
more assured, would be defrayed by
the increase in land values and the
taxes therefrom. This is proved, he
said, by experiment of this nature
successfully completed -in Kansas.

1r's NOT TOO EARLY to begin thinking about the damage moths and heat
will do to your precious furs. In Marchande's cold storage vaults they'll
be far from summer heat, as nature intended. Moths cannot live or
work in such frigid temperature.
Remember, at Marchande's your furs are safe from fire and theft and are
insured from the time we receive them until they are delivered in the fall.
