Visitors to Jackson park this spring will note considerable improvements, notably around the yaclit harbor and the new life-saving station. The new concrete walk along the harbor will doubtless be a very popular place in summer, for the scene there is always very lively with the constant move- ment of the yachts and launches. The planting hereabout is beginning to take shape and it is an open and delightful place for pedestrians. The wooded island is a never-failing attraction and the most favored haunt of wild birds, perhaps, for miles around the city. The feathered inhabitants are in bright plumage now, and it is an interesting place for the bird lover. In the rose' garden the plants have come through the winter extremely well and pruning and Siiding up generally is going on. The golf grounds here are very ex- tensive and well kept, and, altogether, the citizen would be hard to please who would not be satisfied with the healthy lake breezes and the other en- ticements of Jackson park. The small parks and playgrounds movement will probably be helped by the visit of the house, park and boule- vard committee, from which authoriza- tion for a $1,000,000 bond issue is sought, on April 20. The party of in- spection was evidently in favor of in- creasing the number of small parks and expressed satisfaction at the prog- ress made. &quo
