NICHOLS, I'AKK EXPERT, JJEPKJTH POHSIBILITIES' KOR 1MPKOVE.M EXT IX MIT- CIIELL. "Without flattering the citizens of Mitchell, I wish to congratulate tlicm on the wonderful opportunities they have here for the making of a city beautiful, stated A. It. Nichols, of Minneapolis, in his illustrated lec ture on park building, before a group of Mitchell citizens in. the city hall auditorium Thursday evening. "You citizens are to be congratu lated in many respects for your fur Higlitedness," said Mr. Nichols. "They have demonstrated their ability to do things, like the building of the Corn Palace and the many public buildings here, and there is nothing too big for the people of Mitchell to do." Mr. Nichols stated thai in the past it lias been hard for the towns and cities to realize Iheir task of provid ing their city with proper improve ments that, would be necessary when the city had Increased in population and that during the time of tliij growth many evils creep in which take vast sums of money to elimin ate. "There are few of these evils in Mitcliel 1 now but what can bo elim inated with little cost, and with proper improvements of the resources that are now here, Mitchell can be come the cleanest and most beautiful city in the state, as the city broad ens out by the growth that is bound to come," said Mr. Nichols. "I am glad to see that there is very little bill-board advertising in considerable credit is due the efforts of the'Commercial club, park board and women's clubs in this elimina tion of this form of advertising." Mr. Nichols emphasized the bea utiful public buildings in Mitchell and especially the pleasing appear ance of Main street, atlliough a cri ticism that he refected was the ex isting conditions of the overhanging street signs.which, he stated, narrow ed the appearance of the street ant* marred the attractiveness of the buildings. "Parks aro the breathing places in the cities," said Mr. Nichols "and in tills particular, Mitchell is exceed ingly fortunate in having a site af Hitchcock park, and the East and West side parks, which should be made the resting places for the peo ple of this city." Mr. Nichols stated that Hitchcoijk park was a site that furnished wonderful opportunities for the accomodation of all athletic soortB and amusements. IIo advised the citizens not to place tennis courts or any athletic grounds on the East and West parks. "I have noticed, said Mr. Nichols" that there has been a tendency tc plant too many trees, and also trees of the quick growing kind, and that in most cases the trees have beer too close together and not properly grouped. These 'rows of soldiers' should be done away with." "A criticism that I have to makf in regard to the general appearance of some of the public buildings it that they are bare, and that they dc not have the proper setting." sail' could be made more beautiful bj the growth of vines and schrubs neai the walls of the building and aboul the grounds."

"Mr. Nichols advised the width the streets be cut down to at leas' 30 feet, even better to 24 feet, whlcl -would be ample for all necessarj traffic. He advised that the beauti fying of the parking between th curb and sidewalk be under th Mr Nichols, "this is one of thf moil important ractors in the small or cities and towns. There is no reas on why the railroads of Mitchell should not be placed in a class with tho public buildings. "The present parks will not sup ply the needs in the rulurc, as the city is bound to grow. There are two possibilities of expansion.

Mr. Nichols suggested that the James river could be converted to a great resort for winter sports. a a I Mr. Nichols stated Ihct he was glad to see so much interest being taken in play grounds, and he advis ed that all or the school grounds be utilized for this purpose, and that the apparatus be placed thore permanent ly. .instead of transferring to other parks during summer months.
