Air H. W. S. Cleveland of Minneapolis ,
the landscape gin donor , who lias designed tlio
imptovPinents for Omaha's paik system , re
cently wtoto the follow ing letter , which was
published In the Dctiolt Jomn.il , in answer
to opposition ofCeied to the cstablibhmcnt of
an u\tenslvo system of p.uks and parkas
in Dctiolt :
M Di ut Sin : Opposition to boulevards
and paiks has never lulled to manifest itself
in evcrv city in which I have had any share
in the work of paik Improvement. The occa
sion Is always soi/cd upon by demagogues to
assume the position of dofcndois ot the
laboiingclasses , on the ground that parks
and boulevards nro needless nnd expensive
luxuries for the bcnolit of the lich , \\hich
must add to the buulcn of taxation to bo
homo by the poor. And this in spite of the
fact winch the experience of cveiy city has
cleaily pioved , that dheetlx the loverso is
tiue. The strongest argument that can now
.be adduced in favor of such improvements is ,
that they relieve the huidcu of taxation by
adding so largely to the value of adjacent
propet ty that onlj the rich can afford to pur
chase and hold it , while at the sumo time they
lender it so desirable that every poition is
sei/ed upon and occupied or held by tliqso
whoso moans unable them to meet the in-
cicased taxation nnd to cicct costly icsi-
duncus which add to the beauty of the 1m-
piovcinonts.
Thus they bcooino tlio chief souico of rcvc-
nuo to the Uty treasury , and at the same tlmo
provide u constant source of enjoyment ,
which is as free to the poor as the lich and of
ten-fold moro value to them.
This , as I sav , has been proved over nnd
over again , and yet the bamo argument con
tinues to bo urged in opposition nnd the
great body of people who do not tiavel , and
have no opnoitumty to sco what has been
done elsowhoio , nro easily led to fear the ef
fect of expending so much money for what is
ivpicscntcd to them as a needless luxury , but
which in fact is so valuable nn investment
that no city can afford to dispense witli it.
In this city , as elsewheio , the opposition
was so strenuous that many invaluable oppor
tunities wore lost bofoie the \\oik was en-
teicd upon , and even when it was begun the
park commissioners weio at 11 rat s > o appiv-
henslvo of being thought extravagant that
thev failed to secure debir.iblo areas , some of
which they have since pmchnsed at an enor
mous advance on what they might have been
had for at lirst , and others ha\o passed ba-
yond their power of purchase.
In rogaul to boulevards wo have had a sin
gular and interesting oxpoilenro. The Hist
effect of the original design lor a system of
patkb and connecting p.ukwajs , or boule-
vatds , was to raise the asking piico for icnl
estate on every street selected for the pur
pose so gieatly that some of the most desir
able unites had to bo abandoned , and in
others tlio intended width much lestiicted.
Hut in less than two years fiom the tlmo the
lirst bouluvuid was opened thoio weio bo
many petitions from owners of piop-
erty on different streets to have
them made boulcvaids thau the
patk commissioners adopted a rule
which has since been btiicllv adhoied to ,
that no petition would boconbidciod in which
the land icquircd for widening tlio street was
not given gratuitously , The effect In Inci eas
ing the value of adjacent pioperty has been
so marked nnd so enounous that petitions
have continued to como in and in onoinstanco
anew boulovatd has been laid out and con
structed at gt eat cost over what was waste
land , the owners of which not only gave the
land icqulred , but voluntarily offeied to pay
the whole cost of construction , in annual as
sessments for ten years. This airangcmcnt
makes it easy for tlicin , as it creates an Im
mediate demand for the propoi ty at a high
pt ice , while the city at tlio end of the ton
yearn will bo fully reimbursed , and Is al-
icndy leaping the benefit fiom the incicascd
taxable value of the propci ty.
AU opposition 1ms long since been silenced
Every citizen is proud of our park system ,
ami if the question woio now open of doing
away with paikbimd boulevards , on condition
of rcstoiing their cost to the city ticasuiy ,
not a vote would ho cost in its favor.
It is n curiouH , hut not n singular fact ,
howeverthat the very men who lirst opposed
p.nk construction ( no tlio ones who now urge
a lavish outlay foruitlllciul decorations , such
us greenhouses , fountains , oiimmental struc-
tutus , etc. . which should never bo Introduced
till the city has grown tip thickly about the
parks and along the lines of the boulovaids.
Such decorations will then bo in keeping with
the architectural surroundings and thu cost
of them will not bo felt.
But those who lirst opposed tlio nark sys
tem btill pose us the "friends of the poor , "
and demand that the.su public gardens shall
bo provided with all thu luxuries which the
rich provide for thumsolvcs In their pi ivato
grounds. And this leads to the introduction
of shams and cheap imitations of ait , which
are destructive of all true iiitlstlu tastu.
The lirst park that was constructed hero
was a tract of thirty acres then ut the out-
pklrts of the city , uut now overlooked by
many very line and costly houses. In nego
tiating for the land the park commissioners
declined to purchase a portion which was
very desirable , but was held at * 18KXwhich ( )
pilco was deemed HO extravagant .that
they did uot feel justitled In the % ex
penditure , Two years later the resi
dents in that vicinity itetltloncd that
It should bo added to the nark , and offered to
bo assessed for Its full value. It was then ap
praised by disinterested patties and pur
chased by the park commissioners for
W7.000.
By same mail with this I scud joua copy of
our pntk report for the past year , and wish to
call your attention to a view In the above
park opposite page 21 ,
Five years ngo every foot of tm area .shown
In that plcturo ( except tlio dlstnnt hills seen
over the bridge ) was nn Itiipmsublo quag-
ml re , without n tree or n Mirub the homo of
bullfrogs nnd bullrushes. His now constantly
thronged with visitors nnd In winter the lake
( which is kept clean swept mid lighted at
night with elect i Icily ) Is crowded with skat
ers of both sexes.
From the city assessor I learn that the In
creased value of property generally that Is di
rectly traceable to our park system Is from W )
to 73 per cent and on the line of the new boil-
lovnrd which I 8Hko | ) of ( which was previ
ously waste land wherenoono would live ) the
property Is now assessed at f 10 tlio front foot
and .sells at $75 to f < 0.
