INTRODUCTION. Scofe of report. — ^This report of the Bureau of the Census presents ctertain general, financial and physi- cal statistics, which are of educational and adminis- trative value, relative to the subject of recreational facihties maintained or conducted by the cities of the United States, including parks and grounds open to the public, playgroiuids, museums and art galleries, swimming pools and bathing beaches, and such other features of the recreation service as athletics, music and entertainments, and celebrations. In the text discus- sion are presented such special features and additional information as are thought to be of interest, and essen- tial to the understanding of the data shown in the general tables. Number and cJiaracter of general tables. — The statis- tics of this report relate to 210 incorporated cities, the towns of West Hoboken, N. J., aid Brookline, Mass., and the borough of Norristown, Pa., each of which had, at the middle of its fiscal year 1916, an estimated population of over 30,000. The statistics pertain to the departmental years of the municipaUties which closed between July 1, 1915, and Jime 30, 1916, inclusive. The principal statistics are presented in 20 general tables. Tables 2 to 20 contain such data pertaining to parks and the recreation service as can be conveni- ently presented in tabular form. Table 1 shows the year of incorporation, population, and area of each city, and thus supplies information which, although not immediately pertaining to parks, is essential to the proper interpretation of the park statistics pre- sented in this report. Groups of cities. — The statistical data presented in the tables of this report are arranged in five groups, for each of which, as well as for the entire 213 cities, totals are given. Group I includes cities having a popiilation of 500,000 and over; Group II, cities having a popu- lation of 300,000, and less than 500,000; Group III, cities having a population of 100,000, and less than 300,000; Group IV, cities having a population of 50,000 and less than 100,000; and Group V, cities having a population of over 30,000 and less than 50,000. The grouping is based upon the estimated population of each city at the middle of the fiscal year reported for that city. Cities having a population of over 30,000 in 1916. — In the general tables of this report, with the excep- tion of Table 2, the 213 cities are arranged in the order of their estimated population and each is given a number corresponding to its position in the tables. For convenience in finding any particular city, the fol- lowing hst has been prepared, in which the cities are arranged alphabetically by states, and the number assigned to each is indicated. The location of these cities is shown on the accompanying map of the United States. ' CITT AND STATE.

It is so closely connected with education tliat the school officials usually are intrusted with a part in its management, the safety of those participating requires certain oversight by the police, the ends for which the service is supplied can not be fuUy achieved without the assistance of the health service, the financial requirements caU for action on the part of the principal fiscal officers of the mmiicipality, the betterment of grounds and con- struction of buildings and other structures are closely related to the duties of the city planning commission and department of public works. There is also usually close cooperation between the recreation service and certain local civic bodies. The relation of the recreation service to other func- tions of government and to civic bodies is graphically set forth in a chart prepared by the superintendent of recreation of Pittsbui^h, Pa., which is reproduced by permission on page 11. PARK SYSTEMS. The term "park system" is applicable to the parks and connecting parkways of a city qr other district considered as a whole. The word "system" impHes a more or less orderly arrangement of parts so con- nected as to insure or enhance functional value. A number of the park systems for which data are in- cluded in this report conform fully to the definition given above, some conform to it only to a limited extent, while others present little more than the em- bryonic beginnings from which the system is to grow. Many cities have park system plans that extend far beyond present accomplishments or possibihties. The park system of a city, or other district estab- lished for the purpose of providing park faciHties, as the term is used in this report, includes all parks and parkways reported. The degree of development that should be demanded before a city should be deemed to have a park system is so difficult of deter- mination, that any attempt to classify cities as with and without park systems could not yield results that would be generally accepted. The Bureau of the Census, therefore, makes no attempt to hmit the use of the term to any particular degree of park development.

The Casa Grande ruins in Arizona; appear to conform to the definition of national monuments, as stated in the act of 1906. The area containing these ruins was, however, designated as a national park in 1889, and its classification has not been changed. Those who are familiar with the general characteristics of the national parks and national monu- ments, win discover other cases in which the designa- tion does not appear to be in harmony with th« char- acter of the area. This, however, is not a matter of great moment, the important thing being the preser- vation of these areas for the educational, ethical, and healthful influences that they may exert upon those fortunate enough to visit them and upon those who in other ways may learn of their grandeur, and of their stores of information of historic, prehistoric, and scientific interest. National forests. — ^The creation of national forest reserves was provided for by an act of March 3, 1891 (26 Stat., 1905). This act empowered the President of the United States to set apart public lands bearing forests as public reservations, and by proclamation to declare the establishment of such reservations and the limits thereof. The provisions of this act were modified by acts of June 4, 1897, and March 4, 1907. These areas were known as "Forest reserves" imtil March 4, 1907, when Congress changed the ofl&- cial designation to "National forests." This change is said to have been made to indicate that the re- sources of these areas were not locked up as reserves for a distant future. The primary purposes of the national forests are to insure the continuoub production of timber and favor- able conditions of water flow. As means to this end, sttict supervision is maintained over the sale of mature timber, and the forest areas are guarded against fire as a protection to immature trees, as well as to brush and undergrowth that in many places form a large part of the covering provided by nature for the soil and rocks. The possibilities of these forest areas for the pur- poses of recreation are very great and are recognized by the administrative department in charge of the semce. Camping, himting, and fishing are encotir- aged, and "recreation maps" are issued, which not only provide maps of many of the national forests, showing towns, streams, roads, and trails but con- tain information pertaining to camp sites, fish, and game. Campers' registers are kept at the headquar- ters of the forest supervisors, and travelers are re- quested to register their names and addresses and also 18 GENERAL STATISTICS OF CITIES. their intended routes and camp locations. This rec- ord makes it possible for the visitor to be readily foimd in case of emergency, by the rangers who ride through the forests. Current information in regard to the presence of fish and game in various places is given by the forest officers, and sportsmen are requested to report conditions for the benefit of others. The following table shows the number of acres in national forests established by proclamation under authority of the act of 1891 and also the areas of other lands withia the boundaries of these forests, the data being taken from reports of the Forest Service of the Department of Agriciilture.

' Seven of these areas extend into another state. * Two of these areas extend into another state. « Six of these areas extend into another state. « One of these areas extends into another state. 7 Four of these areas extend into another state. 8 Five of these areas extend into another state. Within the national forest botmdaries there are certain lands which are not owned by the United States but have passed to private ownership through the patenting of homesteads and mineral claims and in other ways. In addition to the areas shown above, forest reserves have been estabhshed in seven states in the Appalach- ian and White Mountain regions of the East for the primary purpose of protecting the watersheds. These areas are not designated as national forests, but as "areas acquired under the Weeks Law." This act was passed by Congress on March 1, 1911. It au- thorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to examine, lo- cate, and recommend for piu-chase such lands as in his judgment may be necessary to the regulation of the fiow of navigable streams and to report to the National Forest Reservation Commission, estabhshed by the act, the results of such examination. After reference to the Geological Survey, and a favorable report therefrom, the commission may approve the purchase of such lands. These lands are to be organized as national forests as soon as the areas acquired are of sufficient extent to justify such organization. The following table shows the number of acres that have been acquired in each of the seven states and ad- ditional areas approved for purchase, together with the total of such areas. Table III Total.

Table 1. Year of incorporation as a city. — In the column un- der the heading "Year of incorporation as a city," are given for 210 of the municipalities covered by this report the years in which they were organized as cities. In the same column are given for West Ho- boken, N. J., and Brookhne, Mass., the years in which they were organized as towns, and for Norristown, Pa., the year in which it was organized as a borough. Population. — In Table 1 are shown for each of the municipahties covered by the report its estimated population as of the middle of the fiscal year reported, its population as shown by the decennial census of April 15, 1910, and that of June 1, 1900. The esti- mates of population shown in Table 1 for 1916 are, in the case of cities which have the same territorial area as in 1900, based upon the assumption that the in- crease in the population of the municipahty during the period April 15, 1910, to the date of estimate, the middle of the fiscal year reported, was at the same rate as the increase between the census enumeration of June 1, 1900, and that of April 15, 1910. In com- puting the estimates for a city whose territorial area has been enlarged or diminished during the period since the Federal census, the enumerated or estimated population of the annexed or detached territory has been taken into consideration. The table gives, also, the medial dates as of which the population estimates are made. Area. — In Table 1 is shown for each of the munici- palities covered by the report the area of the city as of July 1, 1915. The area given under this heading is subdivided whenever possible into land area and water area. The area of Pittsburgh as given in 1915 includes the area of the former city of Allegheny, which was consohdated with Pittsburgh in 1907. At the time of the consoHdation Allegheny had an area of 5,126 acres, of which 4,726 acres represented land area and 400 acres water area. Table 2. ParTc administration. — The data presented in Table 2 show that at the close of the departmental year reported the parks of 1 16 of the cities covered by this report were under the supervision or control of park boards, com- missions, or associations; in 8 cities the parks were controlled by other city boards or commissions. In 81 cities the park administration was under the management of departments or officials of the city government, or committees of the city coimcils; while in three cities — Coliunbus, Ohio, New Britain, Conn., and Waco, Tex. — some of the parks were under the control of boards or commissions and others uiider departments of the city government. The reports for two cities show that they had no parks, and for three others the character of the park administration was not reported. In each case in which a city re- ported a park board or commission, such board or commission is shown in Table 2 as having administra- tive control of parks, even though there may be in the same city some commissioner or other city official having direct charge of the park department. The titles as given in the table are those reported to the Bm-eau of the Census. It may be true that in some cases these titles are not exact in form. The members of the various park boards and com- missions served without salary, with the exception of those in the following cities: New York, N. Y., where the members of the board were paid $5,000 each per year; Council Bluffs, Iowa, S320 each; Waterloo, Iowa, $200 each; Grand Rapids, Mich., $100 each; Davenport, Iowa, $100 each; Aiu*ora, 111., $72 each; and the fotu* cities mentioned below, where only certain members were paid salaries, viz: Chicago, 111., president and auditor of South Park District, $3,000 each per year; Boston, Mass., chairman, $5,000; Louisville, Ky., president, $2,500; Lancaster, Pa., 3 officers of Long's Park Commission — secretary, $350; treasurer and solicitor, $200 each; and Oshkosh, Wis., 6 members of the board, $1 each. Chicago, 111., New Orleans, La., Columbus, Ohio, New Britain, Conn., Lancaster, Pa., San Jose, Cal., Johet, m., and Waco, Tex., each reported more than one park system and a separate park administration for each system. Chicago, Peoria, East St. Louis, Springfield, and Rockford, lU., and Tacoma, Wash., have independent park taxing districts. Chicago has 13 separate park commissions, ten of which have 5 members each, two, 7 members each, and one, 15 members. Each of these commissions, except the one last referred to, represents an inde- pendent district. The names of the independent tax- (19) 20 GENERAL STATISTICS OF CITIES. ing districts of Chicago and the rates of taxation per $1,000 of assessed valuation for the year reported are given ia the following statement.

The park system of New York, N. Y., is imder the control of four park commissioners, known as the park board, who are appointed by the mayor, one commis- sioner for the Boroughs of Manhattan and Kichmond, and one conmiissioner for each of the remaining three Boroi^hs of Brooklyn, Bronx, and Queens. The mayor designates one of the commissioners as presi- dent of the board. The powers of the board extend to the awarding of contriacts, prescribing rules and regulations, and the adoption of general policies appli- cable to the boroughs as a whole ; but in the adminis- tration of the parks within his borough, each com- missioner has almost complete independence. His jurisdiction covers aU park property as weU as trees and shrubs in city streets. He has also regulatory powers over property within 350 feet of any park land. The parks of the city of Chicago, lU., outside of the independent districts already referred to, are governed by what is called a "special park commission" con- sisting of 15 members, which is subdivided into an executive working force of five committees, viz. : execu- tive and finance committee, playground committee, park committee, bathing-beach committee, and ways and means committee. The commission has jurisdic- tion over 72 small parks, parkways, squares and trian- gles, public-comfort stations, the Gage Farm nursery, 28 playgrounds, 3 bathing beaches, 4 swimming pools, and city forestry. The charter of the city of Cleveland, Ohio, places the park administration under control of the director of the department of public service. The director is appointed by the mayor, and has charge of all depart- ment property and prescribes aU rules and regulations necessary for the conduct of the oflGlcers and employees of his department. The charter further provides that the director shall appoint a commissioner for each division of his department, including at the present time a commissioner for the division of pa,rks and pubHc grounds, who has immediate supervision over the property under his division. Spokane, Wash., has a board of park commissioners consisting of 11 members, of whom 10 are appointed by the city council, one each year, for terms of 10 years, and one councilman who is designated each year by the council. The board annually elects a presi- dent and a vice president from its members, also a sec- retary, who may or may not be a member of the board. It has power to make all by-laws and rules necessary for the conduct of its business, to lay out, estabHsh, purchase, manage, and control all parks, boulevards, and parkways owned by the city, whether within or without the city limits. It also has supervision over all shade trees, shrubs, and plants of aU kinds in city streets. The park administration of Kansas City, Mo., is vested in a board of park commissioners consisting of three members. The board has power to appoint a chief executive officer, who has supervision and direc- tion of aU work, and of all officers and employees of the park system as a whole. The board has further power to devise and adopt a system of pubhc parkways and boulevards and to select and designate land to be used for park purposes, and with the approval of the com- mon council can purchase, condemn, or otherwise acquire land for parks and boulevards. By provisions of the city charter the park system is divided into districts which can be increased in number when neces- sary, by the common council, upon recommendation of the park commission. At the present time there are 8 of these park districts, each of which is governed by a district foreman, having charge of the entire work within that district, but subject to general supervision as stated. Table 3. Parks and other puUic grounds. — ^Table 3 presents data pertaining to the number, area, and ownership of pubhc parks and grounds available for use by the in- habitants of the several citiesfor purposes of recreation. These statistics supply information of value, but do not furnish definite infomation in regard to the rela- tive opportunities for recreation offered by the park systems of the different cities. Other parts of this report deal with features of the park service in such a way as to show to some extent the development of these areas and the use that is made of them, as well as the annual costs incurred in their upkeep, thus DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES. 21 supplying some of the elements necessary to a calcu- lation of relative utility. Number of 'parks. — ^The first column of Table 3 shows the number of parks reported for each of the 213 cities. These figures are noncomparable to some extent for the reason that some cities include aU small open spaces, such as squares, circles, and triangles, as units of the park system, while other cities include only the larger areas specifically set apart for park purposes. The table, in this particular, follows the local usage. Only two cities, Portsmouth, Va., and Amsterdam, N. Y., reported no park areas. Washington, D. C, reported considerably more than one-tenth of all park spaces reported by the 213 cities. Washington is distinguished for its utilization of tri- angles and other small spaces for park uses. Thenumer- ous avenues of this city nm diagonally, as compared with the general street scheme, which results in a lai^e number of triangles, or flatirons. These spaces are improved, having lawns, flowers, shrubs, and walks, and in many of them benches are provided. Similar areas in other cities are frequently used for building purposes. To the extent that the statistics are comparable, a relatively lai^e number of parks indicates that the city brings the, outdoor recreational f acihties nearer to the doors of the citizens, while a relatively small number of parks indicates that the inhabitants must put forth greater effort in order to avail themselves of the op- portimities for recreation offered by the park service. Area of paries. — The areas of park lands represent the potential rather than the absolute measures of the utiUty of recreational grounds. The data gathered in the present survey do not reveal with any degree of accuracy the extent to which the park areas have been improved, or the extent to which unimproved park lands are adapted to recreational uses. For many of the cities the park acreage includes considerable areas recently acquired and httle improved, while for others the areas reported are supplying maximum service be- cause of natural adaptation or thorough development, or both. The areas of connecting parkways are not included in the statistics of Table 3, though their length is shown in Table 4 of this report. Many of the cities have no data of record concerning the areas of connecting park- ways. Inasmuch as such ways in many instances have merely the character of ordinary streets, the omission of their areas does not seriously affect the comparability of the data presented in the table. The reported park areas are much more nearly comparable than the reported numbers of parks, any omission of imits being that of small areas. The table shows separately the land and water areas within parks belonging to the several cities. The water areas constituted 5.7 per cent of the total park area of all cities, and were reported by 100 of the 211 cities having parks. Paries and other public grounds ovmed hy other dvil di/visions. — Under this heading are tabulated the num- ber and area of parks and other tracts of ground located within the city limits belonging to other civil divisions that were reported as accessible to the pubUc for pur- poses of recreation. The following table shows the total area of such parks and grounds reported for each city, and the acreage belonging to the different civil divisions. The parks included belonged to the three park systems named in the headings of the table, and the other tracts of ground, with one exception, were connected with state, county, and Federal buildings. The ex- ception is fotmd in Joliet, 111., where such grounds to the extent of 15 acres belonged to the Chicago Sanitary District.

The data shown in detail above for Federal, state, and county grounds are included in the table because in some cases these grounds are as much frequented by the pubHc as if they belonged to the city. It is prob- able that a part of the areas here reported fiu-nish but slight recreational advantages other than to the extent that they are made pleasing to the eye. It is doubt- less true that other grounds, which were not reported, supply recreational facilities as great as or greater than some that are included in the table. This exhibit is presented, therefore, merely for what it is worth, and with no claims in regard to completeness. Grounds belonging to state imiversities and to other institutions of a public nature were reported for some of the cities. It is seldom, however, that the college campus and other such groimds are available for recreation purposes other than walking and driving. The semi-private character of such institutions extends to the grotmds as well as to the buildings, and for this reason all data pertaining thereto have been excluded from this report. Parks inside amd outside city limits. — Ease of oom- mmiication brought about by the electric railway and the automobile has had a considerable influence in the extension of park systems beyond the limits of the city. In presenting the statistics of park areas it is deemed worth while to show the mmiber of acres outside the city that are included as imits of the city park system. Such park lands were reported by 67 cities, the aggregate area being 19,732 acres, or 16 per cent of the total park area of aU cities reported. Eight cities having over 300,000 inhabitants reported park lands outside the city limits, the largest acreage, 475.7 acres, belonging to Minneapohs, Minn., and the next largest, 474.4 acres, belonging to Cleveland, Ohio, while San Francisco, Cal., reported 400 acres. Four cities reported more than 1,000 acres each of park lands outside the city, as follows : Denver, Colo., 2,459 acres ; Colorado Sprii^, Colo., 2,370.6 acres ; Oklahoma City, Okla., 1,900 acres; and East St. Louis, 111., 1,125 acres. These four cities reported 1,647.9 acres of park lands inside the city limits, which is but slightly more than one-fifth of that reported outside. Federal military reservations within the limits of cities having over 30,000 inhabitants. — Certain grounds belonging to the United States Government, which are xmder the control of the War Department and are designated "military reservations," are accessible to the public under certain restrictions. They consti- tute open spaces which furnish opportimities for recreation not inferior to many of the units of munici- pal park systems. In many cases they are beautified to a greater degree than some of the parks of the cities in which, or near which, they are located. These reservations not only furnish recreational opportuni- ties, but supply an educational element by giving to the public an opportimity to learn something of the equipment and activities of the service that has jiiris- diction over them. The data for these reservations and parks are not included in the statistics presented in Tables 3 and 4. The restrictions on their use by the public are such as to give them a character quite different from that of public parks. They have, however, a value that should be recognized in any survey of recreational faciUties of the cities in which they are located. The following statement shows the name and area of such military reservations within the several cities having over 30,000 inhabitants as contribute, to some extent, to the recreation facilities accessible to these cities. This list does not include United States reser- vations, the use of which has been granted to certain cities for park purposes. STATE. City. Reservation. Area (acres).

Character ofdata.—T&hle 4 contains statistics falling under four general heads, which are presented in one table for convenience of arrangement rather than because of any relationship existing between them. Area of parks and other public grounds inside dty limits. — ^The area of parks within the city in most cases represents the recreational opportunities of the average citizen more nearly than does the total park area, for the reason that in many instances parks outside the city, though belonging to it, are so far distant that a large number of the citizens seldom DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES. 23 or never visit them, the cost of reaching them being a deterrent factor. The largest area of parks and other public groimds within the limits of any city was in New York, N. Y., although a number of cities re- ported higher percentages of such areas as compared with the total areas of the respective cities. Per cent of entire city area in 'parks and other pullic grounds. — ^The largest area of parks and other public grounds in proportion to the entire city area is shown for Lynn, Mass., the percentage being 26.6; the next in rank is Harrisburg, Pa., with a percentage of 16.5; nearly all of these areas belonging to the respective cities. The corresponding percentage for Covington, Ky., is 16, all areas involved being owned by the city. Quincy, Mass., follows with a percentage of 15.9, but in this case the city owned but a small portion of the total area under consideration, about 96 per cent of such area belonging to the metropolitan park system. Population per acre of recreational grounds. — ^The area of parks and other public groimds within the city, as given in this table, apparently presents the most satisfactory basis for computing the relation of population to recreational areas. The results of these computations are shown in the fifth column of the table. Parks owned by the respective cities but located outside their corporate limits were reported by 67 cities, the total area being 19,732 acres. For these cities the popiilation per acre of parks, playgrounds, and athletic fields owned by the city, located both inside and outside the corporate limits, and parks and other public grotmds owned by other civil divisions, located inside the city limits, is shown in the following statement. i CITY.

J Largest single parTc ovmed hy eUy. — Fairmount Park, containing 3,526 acres, and belonging to Philadelphia, Pa., is the largest single park owned by any of the 213 cities included in the survey preparatory to this report. The next largest single park, comprising 3,027 acres, is Griffith Park in Los Angeles, Cal. Twelve cities, including the two mentioned above, reported single parks having areas of 1,000 acres and upward. Some of these parks are highly improved, while considerable areas within others require large expenditures to render them serviceable in proportion to their areas. As stated in the introduction to this report, no attempt was made to secure data regarding the intensity of park improvement. Such data, although difiicult of compilation, is essential to the study of the relative serviceabihty of park areas. Distance of largest single parJc from city hall. — ^In connection with the study of parks as presented in this report, it was thought that some effort should be made to show the relation of the location of park areas to the center of population. An accurate determina- tion of such relationship was seen to involve an investi- gation of far greater extent than could be imdertaken in connection with this survey. The first difficulty to be encountered in an inquiry of this nature woidd be the ascertainment of the center of population or even such an approximation to this center as could be expected to meet with general acceptance. The distance of the largest park from the city hall was secured, and this information is given in Table 4. For some cities this may be one of the elements re- quired in determining the accessibility of the city parks as viewed from the standpoint of the needs of the majority of the people, for other cities the figures give no adequate notion on this subject, and for still other cities the figures are Hkely to lead to erroneous conclu- sions. In addition to the distance shown in the table, other elements must be known before the degree of accessibility of the park can be determined. Two of these elements are the mnnber and extent of improve- ment of streets connecting the park with residential sections of the city and the provisions made for inex- pensive transportation on those streets. These data were not secured. Furthermore, the largest park is in some cases entirely outside the city, while other parks within the city are smaller by only a few acres, but are surrotmded by residential districts and easy of access from all sides. These conditions, and a number of others that wiU occiu* to the reader, make it clear that the distance of the largest park from the city haU must be suppleinented by much additional informa- tion, if one is to determine the degree of accessibUity of park areas to the masses of the population. Length of driveways in paries. — ^The data presented in the table relative to this subject are not as com- parable as could be desired. This arises from the lack of a standard definition of the term "driveway." It is possible that in some of the reports the term is used 24 GENERAL STATISTICS OF CITIES. only in reference to highways that have been con- siderably improved, while in other cases both im- proved and miimproved roads and driveways have been included. Length of connecting parkways. — Connecting park- ways are in some cases areas of considerable width and a good degree of improvement, but in other cases they have few characteristics to distinguish them from ordinary streets, as viewed by an observer unfamiliar with the park system of the city. The data presented relative to the length of connecting parkways are doubtless far from comparable, and it is probable that the column should contain data for a number of cities for which no such data are shown. Table 5. Parle lighting. — ^Table 5 presents the data on park lighting, as far as reported, showing the number and unit cost or average cost of the various types of lamps used and the appropriations from which the costs were paid. The statistics are intended to include only data pertaining to outdoor lighting, and as far as possible all data concerning the illumination of park buildings have been excluded. The table is in- tended to relate to lighting equipment as of the end of the fiscal year of the city, including equipment in- stalled and first used during the fiscal year, but ex- cluding any equipment that may have been abandoned during the fiscal year. In each instance in which the number of lamps or cost per lamp was reported as an estimate, that fact has been indicated by a footnote, but in some other cases the statistics may be esti- mated, although not so reported. Olassijication oj lamfs. — ^Lamps used for park light- ing have been classified in four groups — electric arc, incandescent electric, gas, and "all other" lamps. Lamps shown xmder the heading "Arc" comprise both the open and inclosed types, including magnetite, other flaming or luminous arcs, and all other electric arc lamps. Lamps shown imder the heading "Incan- descent" comprise both the vacuum and nitrogen gas filled types, including mazda, other tungsten, other metallic filament, and carbon filament lamps. Lamps under the heading "Gas" include mantle lamps, some- times known as incandescent gas lamps, both indi- vidual mantle and multiple mantle or gas arc lamps; flat flame or open flame gas lamps are also included, although rarely reported. Those shown under the heading "AH other lamps" include naphtha, gasoline, and possibly other vapor lamps. Incandescent lamps. — ^The pubUshed number of in- candescent electric lamps is intended to be the number of bulbs, whether used singly or in clusters of several bulbs each, and the published cost per lamp is intended to be the cost per bulb. In all cases of incandescent lighting reported as including lamps used in clusters, tWs rule has been followed. In some other instances, however, incandescent lighting may include cluster lamps, and in such cases, the published number of lamps, or a portion, of such number, may represent clusters, and the published unit cost or average cost of such lamps may be the cost per cluster, although not so reported. Comparisons with former years' statistics. — The Bureau of the Census has not previously published statistics of municipal park fighting that are com- parable with those of the -present statistical survey, but in 1907 and 1909 this bureau compiled statistics of street hghting in the 158 cities then having over 30,000 inhabitants each. It is of interest to compare the percentages of the various types of lamps reported in the street lighting censuses of those years with the corresponding percentages reported for park lighting in the 213 cities of over 30,000 inhabitants each in 1916. The indicated variations between the data for 1916 and for the earlier years specified may be due to some ex- tent to the differences in requirements for park fighting as compared with street fighting; also to some extent to a tendency on the part of mimicipal authorities when making extensions or replacements of hghting equip- ment to prefer an increased or decreased candlepower per lamp in the production of a given quantity of illu- mination by lamps of certain types, or to provide for a larger proportionate quantity of iUumination by lamps of certain types in preference to other types. The following statement shows the per cent relar- tion of the number of lamps of each specified type to the total number of lamps enumerated in the investi- gations named. TTPE OF LAMP. PER CENT OF TOTAL NUMBEK. Park lighting, 1916. Street lighting, 1909.

This variation arises largely because of differences in the candlepower of the lamps, the number of hours per year during which they are lighted, the character of the lamp supports or standards, the market value of materials, and the cost of labor in the various sections of the United States ; also from differences in cost between hght- ing furnished by means of overhead electric distribution systems and underground electric distribution systems, between hghting fiuiushed by the city and by pubhc- service corporations, and between hghting furnished at a reduction in rates in partial consideration for f ran- DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES. 25 chises or public service privileges granted by the city and lighting furnished at rates determined independ- ently of such franchises. Some of the lighting re- ported as furnished free and so specified in the table may also be fiu^ished in partial consideration for franchises granted. The published cost per lamp per year is intended to be a uniform flat rate per lamp, imless a footnote appears showing different flat rates or indicating "average cost." The footnote "Average cost" sig- nifies that the contract rates paid for lighting were either different flat rates not specified in detail or meter rates based on the amount of electric current or gas used. But in some instances not so indicated by footnote the pubhshed cost per lamp may be the aver- age cost for lighting paid for at different flat rates or at meter rates, although not so reported. The amount shown as the cost per lamp per year is intended to relate to lamps used throughout the year, unless otherwise specified by footnote. But in some instances not so specified the pubhshed cost per lamp per year may refer to lamps used only during a cer- tain period, such as the park season, although not so reported. If there are any such cases, the reports do not disclose whether the published cost per lamp is the cost for the period in use or for 12 months' use. Except as otherwise indicated by footnote, the pub- hshed cost per lamp per year is kitended to represent the annual rate of fighting expense as of the close of the fiscal year as distinguished from the total pay- ments made during the fiscal year for fighting expenses. If comparisons are made with Table 10, it should be borne in mind that the actual payments made during the fiistal year for park-fighting expenses, as pre- sented in Table 10, may differ from the annual rate of expense indicated in Table 5, partly because of park- fighting equipment which in some cities may have been installed and first used during the fiscal year or because of equipment abandoned during the fiscal year; partly because of expenses of park fighting incurred during one fiscal year and paid during another fiscal year; and partly because of the omission, in the case of some cities, from the park-fighting payments as shown in Table 10 of park-fighting expenses which are undis- tributed and included with other park expenses or more frequently with street fighting. The character of the appropriations from which the park-fighting costs were paid has been specified in the table, if reported, even though ia some cases the pay- ments were in the form of transfers to fighting plants owned by the city. Metered lighting. — ^The reports received by the Bureau of the Census did not in all cases state whether meter rates or flat rates were charged for park fighting. In many instances incandescent electric fighting was reported as metered; in some iastances electric-arc fighting, and in rare instances gas fightiag, were so re- ported. Some of the metered fighting was used throughout the year, some during a definite park season, and some on special occasions, as on lakes and ponds when weather conditions were favorable to boat- ing or skating. For much of the metered fighting, including aU fighting reported as used only on special occasions, the average cost per lamp per year was not reported. The rates per kilowatt-hour for metered electric current for park fighting were ascertained in certain cities; they varied, according to the reports, from 2 cents in Baltimore, Md., to 10 cents in York, Pa. The variation may arise in part from differing conditions and restrictions in the fighting contracts, some of which are suggested in a preceding paragraph. As far as reported these rates were as follows: City num- ber. 4 7 10 H 19 22 31 46 67 70 72 90 94 103 125 130 199 210 St. Louis, Mo Baltimore, Md Los Angeles, Cal Buflalo,N.Y Seattle, Wash Portland, Greg Toledo, Ohio Dayton, OMo Kansas City, Kans Wilmington, Del Oklahoma City, Olda.

Number of parlc policemen. — Table 6 shows as far as reported the number of poficemen mounted and the number not mounted. The data indicate for 104 cities the extent of the pofice protection during the park season, the diuration of which varies considerably in accordance with latitude and other elements which determine cfimatic conditions. Additional protection on Sundays and hofidays was reoprted for a nimaber of cities, and doubtless was provided by most cities on such days and on special occasions. The fact that data are shown for only 104 cities must not be inter- preted to mean that pofice protection was not provided in the parks of other cities included in this survey. In most cases such protection was not measurable in the terms of this table. Pofice protection in parks can not weU be standard- ized either as to the force employed or as to equipment in service; that is, there can be no relationship be- tween park area and extent of pofice service. The service required depends not so much upon park ex- tent as upon the degree of improvement and the loca- tion, two important factors in determining the number and character of those who visit the parks. Even the shape of the larger parks may determine to some extent the special pofice service reqxured. A park of 26 GENERAL STATISTICS OF CITIES. several acres, because of being narrow and surrounded by streets, may be sufficiently protected by the police on regular street-patrol duty. In some cities the larger part of such protection is supplied by park districts which are not included in the present survey, as in the 11 cities in Massachu- setts that are within the MetropoUtan Park District and the 6 cities in which there are parks administered by Essex and Hudson Counties, N. J. The report of the Massachusetts metropoHtan park commission shows that it maintains an effective pohce force of about 120 men. These poHcemen are distributed over the 38 cities and towns included within the district under the jurisdiction of the commission, but no statement is made as to the nmnber assigned to duty in the several cities covered by the census survey. In a number of cities the parks are constituent parts of police precincts and are policed in connection with the streets within such precincts, the individual beats including in many cases both street and park areas. The city of New York, for which no data are shown in Table 6, is a conspicuous example of this system. This city has no special park pohce service, although two of the pohce precincts coincide in extent with two of the parks. One of these precincts coincides with Central Park, containing 843 acres, in Manhattan; the other coincides with Prospect Park, containing 526 acres, in Brooklyn. It is possible, therefore, to present certain statistics of the pohce protection pro- vided in these two parks, as shown in the statement which follows. POLICEMEN. Total Captains Lieutenants: Mounted on horse Not mounted Sergeants: Mounted on horses Not mounted Patrohnen: Mounted on horses Motmted on bicycles — Mounted on motorcycle Not mounted Central Park. 94 Prospect Park. 67 1 6 '44 The conditions in Boston are somewhat similar to those in New York, there being no special park pohce. The 26 men reported in the table are simply assigned to beats which are entirely within the park areas, while many others not reported are assigned to beats partly on streets and partly within the parks. An explanation of the conditions existing in Buffalo, N. Y., may serve as an additional illustration of the fact that pohce protection afforded is not measurable in the terms of this table. In this city the parks were patroUed by regular city poUcemen who were under the immediate jurisdiction of the precincts in which the parks were located. The city maintains also an effective bicycle squad, the members of which, though not numbered among the park poHcemen, render valuable service in enforce ing park regulations. The number of parks reported for this city was 38, while Table 6 shows the relatively smaU nimaber of 5 poUcemen employed for park protection. Of the 38 parks mentioned, 31 were triangles of comparatively small area and requiring no protection other than that afforded by the regular pohce patrol. Park watchmen, who have pohce powers but who are not in uniform and are not classed as park poHce- men, are employed in a number of cities. Park laborers in many cities are given poHce power while on duty, being provided with badges as evidence of such authority. The statistics presented in Table 6 do not include data for park watchmen or other park employees, but are confined to uniformed poHcemen whether members of a special park pohce force or detailed for park duty from the regdlar poUce force of the city. Examples of cities in which the parks are pohced by park employees other than poHcemen are Houston, Tex., D^Lluth, Minn., and Holyoke, Mass., where all park employees had pohce powers. In EvansviUe, Ind., in addition to the one park poHceman reported in Table 6, there were 7 park laborers who were given pohce powers. One special pohceman em- ployed for 4 months is reported for Waterbury, Conn., though several employees acted as constables and preserved order in addition to their other duties. These examples are perhaps sufficient to indicate the general method of poHcing parks without providing employees whose duties are Hmited to pohce service. Appropriations from which costs of policing paries are paid. — ^PoHce protection in parks was provided through appropriations for the regular poHce service in 27 of the 104 cities for which data on this subject are pre- sented in Table 6, such protection was furnished in 65 cities by a separate park pohce force provided for in park appropriations, and in the remaining 12 cities such service was supported partly from pohce and partly from park appropriations. The protection furnished in parks of cities of over 30,000 inhabitants for which no data are shown in this table was provided for in appropriations for one or both of these services, depending upon conditions of service described in preceding paragraphs. The organization of the poHce service in parks appears to vary to some extent in accordance with size, location, proportions, proximity, and improve- ment of the park areas. These conditions, however, do not account for all the varieties of practice in the service. The character of the organization of the park service determines to some extent the financial provisions for poHcing the parks. Where the parks of a municipahty are administered by officials of inde- pendent park districts, as in Chicago, lU., the poHce service is a part of the park service and is provided for in the appropriations made for the park districts. Cities in which parks are administered by officials of DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES. 27 city departments or bureaus present no tmiformity in the method of financing police protection within the parks. This lack of uniformity appears to result partly from merely following the plan adopted in the early years when each city provided for its needs in this particular as seemed best to those in charge. Similarity in size, situation, and general conditions of park areas, and in development and general admin- istration, might be expected to be accompanied by a good degree of Tmiformity in practice pertaining to the poHce service in parks, but no such uniformity is observ- able. Occasionally a custom of years' standing is aban- doned and another procedure is adopted, either as the residt of settled conviction or by way of experiment. The city of Cleveland, Ohio, formerly employed a sepa- rate park poHce force, but abandoned that system a few years ago, the pohce protection in parks now being provided by detail of officers and patrolmen from the regular poHce force of the city. It is claimed by some that the latter system has the advantage of securing greater service in proportion to the total protecting force, in that it allows the park details to be returned to the regular pohce service during such part of the year as the parks are httle frequented. Table 7. Salaries of parJc police. — Table 7 shows the number of policemen of the several grades employed on park duty, the annual salary paid to those in each grade, and the number of months of service required per year. The table further classifies the force as "not mounted" and "mounted," the character of mount also being designated. The data presented in this table are for the protec- tive force reported in Table 6, and cover only 104 of the 211 cities which reported parks. The conditions which made it impracticable to present data on park poUce for the other cities are set forth in the text dis- cussion of Table 6. Table 7 does not specify the number of officers on park duty as distinguished from patrolmen. Those receiving the highest salaries in a few of the cities rank as officers, while for most of the cities only patrol- men were reported. The pohcemen reported for Philadelphia, Pa., include 1 captain at a salary of $2,100 per year, 1 heutenant at $1,800, and 8 sergeants at $1,400 each; for Pittsburgh, Pa., 3 sergeants at $1,314 each per year; for Buffalo, N. Y., 1 heutenant at $1,620 per year; for San Francisco, Cal., 1 sergeant at $1,656 per year; for Milwaukee, Wis., 1 sergeant at $1,800 per year; and for Minneapohs, Minn., 1 chief at $1,350 per year and 2 sergeants at $1,200 each per year. There were also a few officers who are included in the data reported for certain other cities. The salaries as reported and shown in Table 7 are not strictly comparable because of the lack of certain data pertaining to the details of the service, which were not secured in connection with the present survey. This noncomparabihty applies particularly to the salaries of those in the mounted service and arises from the fact that some cities furnish equipment, such as horses, motorcycles, and bicycles, and provide for their up- keep, while in other cities those using mounts are paid larger salaries than are paid to those not moimted, the excess being in heu of costs due to their providing and maintaining their own mounts. Another element affecting the comparability of the data for a few of the cities is the fact that the reports, instead of giving the number and salaries by grades, gave only the total number of pohcemen and the average .salary per month, an example of this being found in Minneapohs, Minn., where 37 pohcemen were reported as employed at an average salary of $1,000 per year. Table 8. Summary of revenue receipts and governmental cost payments on account of recreation. — Table 8 presents a summary of the revenue receipts and governmental cost payments on account of recreation, the details of which are more fully set forth in the various other tables of this report and the text relating thereto. The revenue receipts and governmental cost pay- ments shown in Table 8 are summarized under three principal heads: "Educational recreation," imder which are included all receipts and payments on ac- count of museums, art galleries, zoological collections, and conservatories; "General recreation," under which are included all receipts and pajTuents on ac- count of music and entertainments, celebrations, swimming pools and bathing beaches, athletics, and playgrounds; and "Parks and trees and quasi-produc- tive park enterprises," under which are included all receipts and payments on account of park adminis- tration, highways, pohce, fighting, areas, and build- ings, and quasi-productive park enterprises, and of trees in streets. The date of the close of the fiscal year shown in Table 8 is that for the city treasury of each city named. A few of the cities have independent park districts, the data for which are included in the different tables on recreation. The dates on which these park districts close their fiscal years are different in most cases from those of the cities in which they are included. Such districts and the dates on which their fiscal years close are as follows : Chicago, Ilt Irving Park District — ^May 31, 1915. West Pullman Park District— Dec. 31, 1915. Lincoln Park District— Dec. 31, 1915. Edison Park District— Dec. 31, 1915. North Shore Park District— Mar. 31, 1916. Old Portage Park District— July 31, 1915. Fernwood Park District— Apr. 30, 1915.

For certain of the cities reported in Groups I and II a percentage of the receipts and payments on account of recreation by the county in which each city is lo- cated, based on the ratio that the assessed valuation of the city bears to that of the county, has been in- cluded. These amounts appear in detail in the text for the several tables in which such receipts and pay- ments are included. This treatment is thought to render the data for these cities more comparable with those for other cities of these groups, because of the fact that the city corporations of the remaining cities in the groups mentioned exercise both municipal and comity functions. For a similar reason, a certain per- centage of the receipts and payments on account of recreation by the Pleasure Driveway and Park District of Springfield, lU., has been included. Table 9. Revenue receipts of the park service. — Table 9 is de- signed to set forth in detail the revenue receipts of the park service and the assets of special park funds. Revenue receipts are classified under four principal heads: "Departmental receipts," "Donations," "From quasi-productive park enterprises," and "In- come from special funds." Departmental receipts are subdivided into those from fees and charges, those from rents of real property, and all other departmental receipts. Receipts from fees and cJiarges. — Fees and charges are compulsory contributions exacted to meet costs in- curred for services rendered. Receipts from rents of real property. — In the column with this heading are included all amounts received by parks for the privilege of operating refectories, various refreshment and cigar stands, boats, carriages, and other kindred property within the park limits. All other departmental receipts. — The receipts shown in the column headed "All other" are principally from minor sales, damages to property, etc. Receipts from donations. — The receipts from dona- tions and gifts from private individuals and corpora- tions are reported in three classes, those for expenses, those for outlays, and those for principal of special funds. Thirty-three of the cities reported show receipts from donations during the year aggregating $522,791, of which more than one-half was received by Houston, Tex., and JopUn, Mo., in the form of donations of lands for park purposes. Receipts from gua^i-productive park enterprises. — ^The receipts from quasi-productive park enterprises are derived chiefly from the operation by the park depart- ments of various stands and places of amusement within the parks. Eeceipts from these sources were reported for 31 cities. Income from special funds. — The receipts shown in the column with this heading represent the income of funds held for park uses because of conditions subject to which they were received. These funds include endowment funds of which only the income can be used, and also unexpended balances of donations re- ceived for expenditure for objects specified by the donor. County and district receipts for parks. — The receipts shown in Table 9 for Newark, N. J., include certain amounts received by the county of Essex, and those shown for Springfield, III., were received by the Pleas- ure Driveway and Park District. The following table shows for these two cities the classification of the re- ceipts by the governmental division receiving and the basis of reduction for county and district. The pur- pose of including a part of the receipts of the county and the district is set forth in the text for Table 8. Table V Newark, N. J.

Table 10. Park costs and values. — Table 10 contains statistics of the governmental cost payments for parks and the value of park properties frtr the various cities. Gov- ernmental cost payments are subdivided into expenses and outlays, and under the head of expense is given an exhibit of the various purposes for which payments for park maintenance were made. Governmental cost payments. — The term "govern- mental cost payments" as used in the table is a designation of the expenditures for providing necessary service and for acquiring or constructing permanent properties or improvements. Payments for expenses. — Payments for expenses are the expenditures from which no permanent values are DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES. 29 received, and include those for personal services employed, materials consumed, and property rented. Payments for outlays. — Payments for outlays are the expenditures which represent the costs of properties, including land, buildiags, and equipment, and im- provements of a permanent nature, which add to the value of the permanent assets and which for the pur- poses of this table are reflected in the value of park property shown in the last column under the designa- tion "Value of park properties." Payments for general administration of paries. — In this column are included the salaries of the park com- missioners, superintendents, landscape architects, and other employees, and the cost of supplies required in the administration of parks. Payments for parle highways. — Under this heading are included all payments incident to the maintenance of ways in parks, including roadways, bridle paths, bicycle paths, walks, curbs, gutters, and bridges. Payments for parlc police. — Under the heading "Pohce" are included all payments for the salaries and other expenses of park police, whether such police w^ere under the control of the park authorities, or were detailed for park duty from the regular pohce force of the city. A brief description of the different systems of poHce protection for parks wiU be found in the text discussion of Tables 6 and 7. Payments for park lighting. — The costs of main- tenance of hghts in park areas and along park highways are shown in this column. In some of the cities re- ported, the lighting of parks is administered in con- nection with street lighting and no proper segregation of such costs for park purposes could be made. Payments for parlc areas and iuildings. — The costs of caring for lawns, flower beds, ornamental plants, forests, and lakes, and of the maintenance of certain improvements appear in this column. Payments for trees in streets. — In the column headed "Trees in streets " are included the costs of setting out and caring for trees in streets except the cost of those in boulevards under the supervision of the park depart- ments, which were paid from park appropriations, and not reported separately from park payments. County and district payments for paries. — The pay- ments shown in Table 10 for Cleveland, Ohio, Pitts- burgh, Pa., Los Angeles, Cal., Milwaukee, Wis., and Newark, N. J., include certain amounts paid by the counties in which these cities are located, and those shown for Springfield, lU., were paid by the Pleasure Driveway and Park District. The following table shows for these six cities the payments classified by the governmental division paying, and the basis of reduc- tion for counties and district. The purpose of includ- ing a part of the payments of the counties and district is set forth in. the text to Table 8. The large amount expended by Los Angeles County, Cal., was principally for reforestation and trees in public highways. 10 15 105 Table VI Total. Cleveland, Ohio.

Value of parlc properties. — The valuations reported are exclusive of such of those for museums, art gal- leries, conservatories, and zoological parfe as are shown on other tables of this report. In a great many cases these valuations are based on estimates, due to the absence of adequate records of the valuations of city properties. Table 11. Playgrounds. — The term "Playgroimds," as used in this report, denotes open spaces fitted up for chil- dren with outdoor gymnasia, jumping pits, running tracks, sand courts, etc. The term "Athletic fields" denotes similar open spaces fitted up for adults. The extent to which these grounds were equipped with 30 GENERAL STATISTICS OF CITIES. play appliances was not ascertained. The play- grounds and athletic fields reported are such as were so designated by the officials in charge without refer- ence to the extent or kind of equipment. Boston, Mass., appears to have been the leader among the American cities in the movement for munici- pal playgrounds, and according to the data published by the Playgroimd and Recreation Association of America, city playgrounds were established there as early as 1886. Prior to the year 1900 only about a dozen cities in the United States furnished outdoor play facilities at pubhc expense. This table shows, for the cities reporting, the num- ber and area of outdoor playgrounds exclusive of those that are open only to school children during the school year. The data for playgroimds located in parks owned by the city are shown separately from those for playgrounds located elsewhere. Certain cities did not report the acreage of ground set aside for play activities, and consequently the totals shown in this table do not include all such areas. Several cities reported the number and area of athletic fields separately from parks. The data for these are shown in the column headed "Athletic fields." For many other cities athletic fields located in parks were reported, their area being included with the area of the parks in which they were located. The area of city parks is shown in Table 3 of this report. The following statement shows the number and area of athletic fields in parks as reported for 68 cities. 1^ New York, N.Y...

In many cases the area used for play purposes was not well defined. This is frequently true of those located in vacant lots or in parks. The number of playground workers employed by the cities is perhaps a better measure of the activities in this field than the number and area of playgrounds. Supervision is of prime importance, for without it the playground can serve its purpose to only a very hmited extent. The number of playground workers paid by private associations is incomplete. The information secured was furnished in most cases by city officials, some of whom were not closely associated with the playground activities. Revenue receipts are classified under two subheads, "Departmental sources" and "Donations." These receipts do not include fees and charges or donations received and administered by associations or leagues, but only pertain to such funds as are accounted for by the city finance offices. In many of the cities such funds are handled by private parties and the figures shown in the table are perhaps misleading. For instance, in Baltimore, Md., miscellaneous donations of $6,561 and a donation of land valued at $10,000 were received by the Children's Playground Associa- tion, but as these receipts did not come into the city treasury they are not included in the table. Governmental cost payments are divided into pay- ments for expenses and for outlays, the expenses being payments for instructors, replacements and repairs, and the outlays for purchase of land and equipment, and for aU improvements of a permanent nature. In certain cities the payments were not separately reported, but were included with the payments for parks, schools, or other activities. These payments do not represent the total costs of playgrounds in the different cities, for the reason that they do not include the costs inctured by privately conducted playground associa- tions and athletic leagues. County and district receipts and payments for play- grounds and athletic fields. — To secure better com- parability of data, as explained in the text for Table 8, percentages of the receipts and payments by the county of Essex, N. J., and of the Pleasure Driveway and Park District of Springfield, lU., are included in the amounts shown in Table 11 for Newark, N. J., and Springfield, lU., respectively. The following state- ment shows for these two cities the per cent included; also the receipts and payments set forth in Table 11, classified according to the governmental divisions receiving and paying, omitting, however, those items of Table 1 1 that include no receipts or payments of the county or district referred to.

The following brief statement of the piirposes and progress of the playground movement was prepared by Mr. Joseph Lee, president of the Playground and Recreation Association of America, and contributed for insertion in this volimae : "Why teach a child to play? Why provide special grounds when there are open spaces where children can play together if they want to ? Why spend mil- hons of dollars of both pubhc and private funds for the development and maintenance of playgrounds and recreation buildings and still other millions for the salaries of workers to direct recreational activities at these centers ? "It is an article of faith with all true Bostonians that when the British soldiers before the Revolution interfered with the boys' games on the Common a group of lads called upon Governor Gage to protest and thereafter their play was protected as it has been ever since. One hundred years later the first organized and supervised outdoor playground was estabhshed in Boston in 1886. "Thirty years have passed since the birth of the movement to protect children's play — an era which has seen the spread of the movement from Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York to Chicago and the Pacific coast ; which has witnessed at least the theoretical estabhshment of the children's right to play in safety under good influences and of gt, man's right to spend his leisure hours,' through the provision of the proper facilities by the city in which he lives, in a way which will fit him to make the best use of his working hours, and will keep aUve in him those ideal interests for which his work too often fm-nishes no scope. "In these 30 years playgrounds have been estab- lished in large and small cities and in rural communi- ties throughout the country. A national organiza- tion, the Playground and Recreation Association of America, has been called into existence to act as a clearing house for information and, through the publishing of Uterature and educational work, to fur- ther the recreation movement. Buildings used wholly for recreational purposes have been erected. Re- ports made to the Playgroimd and Recreation Association of America in December, 1916, show that 38 communities have recreation buildings, valued at $4,093,525. In rural communities has come a great awakening to the need of wholesome recreation to counteract unmoral influences and to conserve for the community its young men and women who would otherwise go to large cities to find their opportunities. Both large and small cities have established systems, at the head of which have been placed workers em- ployed throughout the year, corresponding to school superintendents hi our educational system. Schools have introduced organized play in connection with their school playgroimds and specially trained play directors are employed, who spend their entire time directing the play of the pupils. Cities have come to see the economic waste of great buildings used a few hours each day for educational purposes and have thrown their schoolhouses open at night for the use of all the people for evening recreation-center activities, for dramatic clubs, orchestras, social danciag, gymna- sium work, mothers' clubs, civic forums, lectures, and motion pictures. In December, 1916, 127 cities reported that their school buildings were being used as neighborhood recreation centers. Legislation mak- ing possible such a use of school buildings has been passed in a number of states. The creation of special recreation departments and playground and recreation commissions to administer playground work has been authorized by law in many states and cities. Increas- ingly has the emphasis been laid on the importance of considering recreation work as a governmental function and of admuustering it as one of the duties of a municipaUty to its citizens. "These facts are borne out by the information gathered by the Bureau of the Census in its study of playgrounds and athletic fields, the results of which are to be found in Table 11. It is a very significant fact that during the fiscal year 1916, the 213 cities of more than 30,000 population conducted 2,190 play- grounds with a total area of 4J662.1 acres. There were, in addition, 19 athletic fields, exclusive of those located in parks, with an area of 148.7 acres. For this work there were payments from public funds for expenses amounting to $2,502,902; and for outlays, $1,017,539. Three thousand seven hundred and niaety-four workers were in charge of the activities of these playgrounds. Graphic as these figures are, they by no means represent the total mimioipal pro- vision for play and recreation even va. the 213 cities themselves. In many of these cities the schools have playgroimds equipped with apparatus and with play leaders in charge, and organized play periods are conducted in connection with their school program. Nor do these figures attempt to include the eveniag recreation-center work conducted at many schools at a considerable expense to the school board, nor the municipal goK courses, tennis courts, skating facihties, and community music provided for the 32 GENERAL STATISTICS OF CITIES. public from city funds. The public provision of recreational facilities is by no means limited to cities of over 30,000. Reports sent to the Playground and Recreation Association of America show that many cities of less than 30,000 inhabitants are maintaining playgrounds and neighborhood recreation centers, while approximately 50 conmaunities of less than 5,000 car- ried on recreational work privately or pubhcly during the year ending December 1, 1916. "To protect their children from automobiles and dangers which surround them in play on the streets ; to turn the surplus energy in their boys into the right channels and to allow its proper expression, thereby decreasing the number of cases brought before the juvenile court and the larger number of less dramatic but almost sadder cases in which, for lack of hard, competitive play, the boy never grows to be a man; to transform the gang spirit into the team spirit; to conserve physical health and morals; to make for good citizenship — these are a few of the reasons why cities are paying mdhons of dollars for the play of their children." Table 12. Playground workers. — Playground workers have been classified under four principal heads, namely: (1) Recreation secretaries or superintendents of recreation, (2) supervisors, (3) directors, and (4) play leaders. The table shows the number of each class, their salaries per month, and the number of months employed during the year. In certain cities the regular park employees have charge of the play- grounds during certain hours of the day, their duties being similar to those of caretakers and only inci- dental to their regular work in the parks. Such employees, as well as caretakers and laborers, have been omitted from the number of employees shown in the table. AU recreation secretaries were employed throughout the year, with the exception of one in Omaha, Nebr., who was reported as employed for six months; one in East Orange, N. J., who was employed during the playground season, the length of which was not reported; and one in Newton, Mass., for whom the period of service was not reported. The recreation secretaries in some cities have charge of the physical training in the schools. The salaries per month vary considerably, the highest reported, $416.66 per month, being paid in Philadelphia, Pa., and the lowest, $79.16, in Orange, N. J. In certain cities supervisors have entire charge of the playgrounds, and their duties are practically iden- tical with those of the recreation secretaries. Where this is the case, they are usually paid the same salaries, and are employed throughout the year. The salaries per month vary greatly in the different cities. While in most cities the duties of supervisors, directors, and play leaders are separate and distinct, in a few cities they are practically the same. This is not so much due to lack of organization or system as to the lack of a standard terminology. The need of a standard terminology must be deeply felt by all those who seek to compile statistics on this subject. The term of employment of play leaders is generally limited to the playground season, which covers from two to four months according to the location of the city. The following brief statement in regard to methods and leadership employed in recreational activities was prepared by Mr. Joseph Lee, president of the Playgroimd and Recreation Association of America, and contributed for insertion in this report: "One of the most striking developments in play- groxmd work is the emphasis which is being laid on the need for trained leadership. It is no longer felt that a vacant lot equipped with gymnastic apparatus constitutes a playground. Experience has shown that such places are very Uttle used by the children, and that what use is made of them is often imdesirable. Leadership is more valuable on a playground than any form of material equipment. "The need is not so much that children shall be taught to play. They will probably play in one form or another without either leadership or playground; but imdirected play often takes the form of crap shooting or lawbreaking, or is of a listless, often of a dangerous, sort. It has been well said that, although children inherit the instinct of play, they do not inherit baseball any more than they inherit the Lord's Prayer. Our great games are a social, not an in- stinctive, inheritance, and where the play tradition among the children themselves has been broken, as it often is in our cities, the children will not know the games unless there is someone to teach them. The function of a play leader is to teach the great games, to instill ideas of fair play, and gradually to enlarge the children's own idea of teamwork untU they finally come to understand the meaning of patriotism toward their city and toward the country as a whole. "The recreation movement is attracting to it young men and women of a high type who feel so keenly the value of recreation as a constructive force that they are turning to it as a fife profession. More and more, col- lege graduates are entering the recreation field. In increasing numbers normal schools, colleges, and other educational institutions are giving courses in the training of recreation workers. Special training schools are being estabhshed in different parts of the country. At the present time the demand for workers of training and experience with personahty and natural quahfications for the work is greater than the supply. City after city, reahzing the need for providing recrea- tion the entire year for the children and adults of the commxmity, is placing its work on a yearly basis and making it of importance comparable to that of the school system. The need for men equipped to head such systems is becoming more and more urgent. DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES. 33 "Of the 213 cities having more than 30,000 popula- tion from which statistics of workers employed by the city to direct playground activities were secured by the Bureau of the Census only a small percentage reported no playground workers paid from municipal funds. It is a significant fact that of the 63 cities with a popula- tion of more than 100,000 only 5, according to the reports of the Census Bureau, did not employ play- ground workers during the fiscal year 1916. All except 25 of these cities have recreation secretaries or super- intendents of recreation employed on a yearly basis whose work it is to organize, unify, and supervise the recreational activities of the entire community. Of the cities with less than 100,000 population 19 have such workers paid from municipal fimds. The total number of playground workers whose salaries were paid from municipal funds, according to the statistics gathered by the Bureau of the Census, is 3,794. This number does not include caretakers, janitors, laborers, bath attendants, and others similarly employed, but refers only to those workers who are organizing and directing the recreational activities of the community. In addition, 252 playground workers were paid through private fimds. "Although these figures do not include the workers employed in cities of under 30,000 inhabitants, many of which are conducting playground work, some on a yearly basis, they are significant in showing the increas- ing tendency to place recreation work under municipal management and support." Table 13. Specified facilities for games and athletics in parks and playgrounds. — ^Table 13 shows that there were reported 3,368 tennis courts in 144 cities, 1,334 baseball dia- monds in 163 cities, and 331 football gridirons in 86 cities. Facilities for each of these three games exceed those for any other game not only in the number of grounds but also in the number of cities reporting. Sixty-six golf combes were reported in 42 cities, while 9 cities reported polo fields, one in each. In addition to specified facilities for games and ath-. letics in parks and playgrounds shown in Table 13, other facilities were reported for a nimiber of cities. The present survey did not call for this information specifically and the reports were not uniform in their lists of these facilities, but it is thought that their presentation may add some items of interest, even though such information is not complete for aU cities. The following statement shows the kind and number of special facilities reported by the various cities but not presented in Table 13. 78682°— 17 3 Basket ball: Allentown, Fa Charlotte, N.

San Diego, Cal., reported a stadium of 4.1 acres. There are also stadiums in several other cities. The municipal civic auditorium and opera house in Oakland, Cal., deserves special mention. It was buUt at a cost of $1,000,000 and is designed especially as an amusement and recreation center. The building is 400 feet long and 200 feet wide. Its distinguishing fea- tures are an arena with a floor space 214 feet long and 117 feet wide, an auditorium and an opera house with 34 GENERAL STATISTICS OF CITIES. a total seating capacity of 13,000. The theater alone will seat 2,000 people. The building also has a ball- room capable of seating 600 persons. Various indoor athletic meets, bicycle and motorcycle races have taken place in the arena. The arrangement of the building is such that from five to seven functions can be given at the same time. The Mardi Gras ball, Memorial Day, and Independence Day celebrations are also held here. Besides being used for functions which are purely local, the building has acconmiodated a number of conventions and other large assembhes. Table 14. Zoological parks. — ^Table 14 gives data for zoological parks, showing when such parks were established, the nmnber of mammals, birds, and reptiles in each, the revenue receipts and govenunental cost payments on their accoimt, the value of buildings occupied by them, and the value of the collections. The zoological park of New York, N. Y., was estab- lished in 1866, and that of Chicago, 111., ia 1868. Prior to 1890 zoological parks had been established in but 10 of the 83 cities now reporting such collections. In 5 cities the date of establishment was not reported, and in some instances the date given is approximate as it was not a matter of record. The present survey was not sufficiently extended to include a complete classification of the zoological specimens belonging to the several cities, being limited to securing the number of specimens in each of three classes of the vertebrata. In the absence of a further classification of these by orders, genera, and species, and a list of other specimens of animal life the relative importance of a city's collection can not be accurately determined from data at hand. In a niunber of cities the zoological collections are quite small, in some cases occupying only one cage or outdoor inclosure in which a few specimens are con- fined. In such cases the animals, as a rule, were do- nated and simply form the nucleus of what may become an important ,coUection. The estabhshment of permanent collections of ani- mals in the United States in some instances grew from chance gifts, to city officials, as in the case of the me- nagerie in Central Park, New York, N. Y. In other cities the collections were begun by groups of men interested in natural history and are conducted with reference to the advancement of science, as is notably the case in Philadelphia, Pa. The following paragraphs contaia brief descriptions of the National Zoological Park, data for which are included in Table 14, and of the exhibit of the New York Zoological Society, for which the table contains no data. The National Zoological Park. — When the Smithson- ian Institution at Washington, D. C, began the col- lection of animals as museum specimens, it was found desirable to secure living animals as models for the taxidermists to the end thq-t they "might impart to the prepared specimens the grace and characteristics of fife." The interest in these living animals manifested by visitors to the institution suggested the idea of extending the collection and making it permanent. To deepen the interest which was beginning to be felt relative to the scientific loss and economic waste resulting from the almost total extinction of many species of animals indigenous to this continent, the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution conceived the idea of exhibiting specimens of the most important ani- mals threatened with extinction, placing them in an environment favorable to their development and in- crease in numbers. A site consisting of about 160 acres admirably adapted to the requirements of this project was found in the valley of Rock Creek, and being accessible be- cause of its nearness to the city, it had the additional advantage of giving to the public a beautiful pleasure groimd. The National Zoological Park may be said to have become an accomplished fact when in 1890 an act of Congress definitely placed it under the direction of the Regents of the Smithsonian Institution, author- izing them to transfer to it the animals in their charge and to administer it "for the advancement of science and the instruction and recreation of the people. " On June 30, 1915, the park contained 629 mammals of 151 different species, 696 birds embracing 185 spe- cies, and 72 reptiles containing 22 species, making a total of 1,397 living creattires. The total number of visitors for the year ending June 30, 1915, was 794,530. The New York Zoological Society. — One of the larg- est and most interesting zoological gardens in the United States is that belonging to the New York Zoological Society and located in the Bronx and Bat- tery parks of New York, N. Y. The garden covers an area of about 155 acres of land and contained on De- cember 31, 1915, exhibits of 1,381 different species, with a total of 9,888 living creatures classed as follows: Bronric: Mammals Birds Reptiles Battery: Mammals Reptiles Kshes Amphibia Invertebrates. Species (number). 211 813 157 2 23 140 14 21 Specimens (number). 636 2,773 791 3 95 3,186 166 2,238 The zoological park opens at 9 a. m. from April 15 to October 15, and at 10 a. m. during the rest of the year, and closes at a half hour before sunset during the whole year. Admission is free except on Mondays and Thursdays, when a fee of 25 cents is charged. The aquarium is open daily without charge from 9 a. m. to 6 p. m. in summer and from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. in winter. DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL TABLES. 35 During the year 1915 there were 1,538,831 visitors to the aquarium in Battery Park and 1,780,077 visitors to the Bronx Garden, making a total attendance of 3,318,908. The land and buildings occupied by these exhibits are owned by the city, while the control, management, and ownership of the exhibits are vested in a private corporation created in 1895 by the laws of the state of New York and known as the New York Zoological Society. At the close of the fiscal year 1915 this so- ciety had a total membership of 2,138, composed of 6 benefactors at $25,000, 14 foimders in perpetuity at $10,000, 20 founders at $5,0Q0, 5 associate founders at $2,500, 32 patrons at $1,000, 282 life members at $200, 1,730 annual members at $10, 34 fellows, and 15 honorary members. It is governed by a board of 36 members and is maintained in part by income from endowment funds and in part by appropriations from the city treasury. Its endowment funds amount to about a half million dollars, a part of which, the Car- negie fund, was donated and set aside for the creation of a pension fund for the benefit of the employees of the society. Table 15. Surimming pools arid hathing heaches. — Swimming pools and bathing beaches were reported for 11 1 of the 213 cities covered by this report. The swimming pools for which data are given ia Table 15 are only those designed primarily for recrea- tion purposes, as distinguished from the ordinary pool of the sanitary bathhouse. Some of the pools were reported to be maintaiaed exclusively for men, and others for the accommodation of women only, while in a few of the cities they were used alternately by men and women, but in most cases they were reported as used by men, women, and children. Eleven of the outdoor swimmiag pools were for children, and were reported by 8 cities, as foUows: New York, N. Y., 1 ; San Francisco, Cal., 2; Dallas, Tex., 2; Houston, Tex., 1; Peoria, 111., 1; South Bend, Ind., 2; San Jose, Cal., 1; and Auburn, N. Y., 1. LoweU, Mass., has one and Holyoke, Mass., has two indoor swimming pools for children. Wading pools were reported by 23 cities. The fol- lowing hst gives the names of such cities and the num- ber of pools reported for each. This is not presented as a complete list of such faoiUties as the present sur- vej- did not include an inquiry pertaining to this par- ticular feature. CITY, St. Louis, Mo Cinomnati, Ohio.

Floating baths to the number of 26 were reported by 8 cities, as follows: New York, N. Y., 6; Boston, Mass., 11; Seattle, Wash., 3; Providence, R. I., 2; Cambridge, Mass., 1; Harrisburg, Pa., 1; San Diego, Cal., 1; and Taunton, Mass., 1. Under the heading "Bathing beaches," as used in Table 15, are included such spaces on the shores of oceans, gulfs, bays, lakes, and rivers, as are set apart for bathing uses. Municipally owned buildings with shower baths, dressing rooms, and lockers, and with facihties for supplying bathing suits and towels are connected with many of the beaches reported, but in a number of cases these accommodations are fur- nished by persons who have no official connection with the recreation service of the city. In Pittsburgh, Pa., there are 15 spaces on the river banks where men and boys are allowed to bathe, but at none of them does the city maintain accommodations for the bath- ers, such supervision as is required being furnished by the police service of the city. Similar conditions pre- vail in many of the cities, either as the only provision for outdoor bathing, other than in pools, or in addi- tion to such bathing places as are more or less ftdly equipped with conveniences and provided with serv- ices. The bathing beaches reported include two for men and hojs in New Haven, Conn.; one for women and children in Paterson, N. J.; and one for children in each of two cities, Detroit, Mich., and Sacramento, Cal. The opportunities for aquatic recreation at bathing beaches for which statistics are presented in Table 15 can not be measured by the data there given, for the reason that at some of the finest and most popular beaches under the jurisdiction of cities included in this survey, this feature is not administered by the cities themselves. The ocean beach at Atlantic City, N. J., is a conspicuous example. The city owns and maintains the "board walk," which extends along the beach for a distance of 4J miles and is a structure of much more importance than its name indicates. Accommodations of all kinds are provided, but these are not under the immediate supervision of the munici- pal authorities, and the revenues and costs on account of them do not appear among the receipts and pay- ments of the city. At Galveston, Tex., practically the entire gulf frontage is suitable for bathing pur- poses and much of it is so used, but no part of it is supervised as a recreation space by the city itself. The smaU item of expense on this account was for such labor as was necessary to remove seaweed and refuse from certain portions of the beach. A number of other cities present conditions similar to those at Galveston. The data for attendance at swimming pools and bathing beaches, as shown in the table, are accurate for many cities, but for other cities they represent only estimates. The figures presented were taken from the official records of such cities as kept attend- 36 GENERAL STATISTICS OF CITIES. ance records, or, where no records were kept, were secured from officials familiar with the details of these services. The reports received for most of the cities covered by this report were not in sufficient detail to permit of the segregation of the revenue receipts and govern- mental cost payments for outdoor and indoor swim- ming pools and bathing beaches. These costs are there- fore tabulated imder one head as shown in the table. Under the heading "Revenue receipts" are included all fees and charges for bathing suits, rents of real property, minor sales, and other receipts incidental to the maintenance of swimming pools and bathing beaches. Under the heading "Expenses" are shown all payments for the maintenance of swimming pools and bathing beaches, including salaries of attendants and other employees, as well as aU incidental expenses, and in the column headed "Outlays" are shown the payments for the construction and purchase of buildings and other structm-es and equipment of a permanent nature for providing bathing facilities, for which data are presented in Table 15. The outlay payment shown for Springfield, 111., was made by the Pleasure Driveway and Park District. This amount represents 89 per cent of the total outlays on the part of the district, this being the proportion of the total costs of such district included in this report for purposes stated in the text for Table 8. Table 16. Public concerts. — ^Public concerts to the nimiber of 5,944 were reported by 118 cities, being reported by each city in Groups I and II, and by 33, 31, and 35 cities in Groups III, IV, and V, respectively. With the exception of Washington, D. G., where the concerts are given free by United States bands, and Los An- geles, Cal., where they are furnished by Los Angeles County, the cities reported are those, which provided wholly or in part for the maintenance of pubUc concerts given during the year. Doubtless in a number of cities reporting public concerts, as well as in a number for which no such concerts are reported, concerts free to the pubhc were given by musical organizations with- out charge or were paid for by pubUc-spirited indi- viduals or associations. San Francisco, San Diego, and Pasadena, Cal., Washington, D. C, and Atlanta, Ga., reported public concerts throughout the year, but for most cities the season for concerts was compara- tively short, commencing in Jime or July and closing in August or September. By far the greater number of the public concerts recorded were given by the cities in their parks. For a few cities, in which a hmited number of concerts were given, no season is reported. In a majority of the cities, no doubt, the opening and closing of the season is not fixed, but varies from year to year. Puhlic dance haUs. — Dance halls or pavilions main- tained by the city were reported by 32 cities. The total number reported was 89, of which 27, nearly one- third, were in Chicago, El. Mimicipal dances were given in other cities also, but not in regularly main- tained dance halls or pavilions. In most cases they were held in schoolhouses, but in 2 cities, at least, space for dancing was roped off on the streets. In a few cities the dances were held on open outdoor plat- forms, which could be moved to various points as might be desired, and in a few other cities dances were held occasionally in city halls and auditoriums. In certain cities dance haUs were operated as quasi-productive enterprises and for such cities the receipts from this source are shown in Table 9, and the payments for the maintenance of the dance halls, in Table 10. Free motion-picture entertainments. — ^Motion pictures were included among the entertainments furnished by a number of* cities. The exact extent to which such entertainment was provided was not generally re- ported, but in some cases it was stated that this was only an occasional feature at recreation centers. The cities reporting free motion-picture entertainments were the following: New York, N. Y. ; Chicago, III.; St. Louis, Mo.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; Detroit and Grand Eapids, Mich. ; Los Angeles and San Diego, Cal. ; New Orleans, La.; Jersey City, N. J.; Dayton, Ohio; Dal- las, Tex.; NashvUle and Chattanooga, Tenn.; Water- bury, Conn.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Topeka, Kans.; and Eacine, Wis.

The follow- ing statement shows for these five cities the classifica- tion of such receipts and payments according to the governmental divisions receiving and paying, and the basis of reduction for the counties and district. The purpose of including a part of the payments of the counties and of the receipts and payments of the district is set forth in the text for Table 8.

Table 17. Museums and art galleries administered hy the dty. — Table 17 presents for such municipalities as reported museums and art galleries administered by the city, the date of estabhshment, annual attendance, revenue receipts, governmental cost payments, assets of special funds, and valuations of such museums and art galleries. The data for attendance are not as complete as might be desired because many cities kept no record. A study of the column for attendance will disclose the fact that many of the figures are estimated. The small income from revenues as compared with governmental cost payments shows that in nearly all the cities the cost, not only of the maintenance but also of new btiildings and additions to collections, etc., are largely paid from city appropriations. The data in the colmnn headed "Value of land, buildings, and equipment" include the valuations of museums and art galleries as reported by the various cities. In many cases this represents only the value of buildings and equipment, the institutions being located in parks and the value of lands not sepa- rately reported but included with the value of park properties shown in Table 3. The footnote for the city of Los Angeles, Cal., alluding to the basis of reduction is explained in the text for Table 8. The amount shown as paid for Los Angeles, Cal., is 56 per cent of the payments for museums and art galleries made by the coimty of Los Angeles. The value of collections, in museums and art gal- leries, owned by the cities is shown in the following table, as far as reported. Since the values of many articles in the museums were estabhshed on a historical basis and the values of paintings were difficult to fix owing to the hmited number of transactions in buying and selling, the amounts here given are largely esti- mates. The following table shows a separation of these values as far as possible between the collections in museums and those of paintings, sculpture, and other works of art in the art galleries.

Museum of History, Science, and Art, of Los Angeles County, Cal. — This museum is located in Exposition Park, a park belonging to the city of Los Angeles, and is owned and maintained by the county government. The department of fine and applied arts contains exhibits of the works of American artists. The his- torical department is being developed and has grown considerably during the past year. The science de- partment contains fossil remains from the pits of Rancho La Brea, the property of a private citizen of the county, who gave the board in charge of this museum a two-year concession to excavate from these pits such fossUs as they might find. A large amount of material has been obtained and it is claimed that the collection now contains more Pleistocine material than can be found in all the other museums of the world. Table 18. Museums and art galleries not administered hut aided by the dty. — ^Table 18 contains a statement of receipts and payments for museums and art galleries not administered by cities but to which the cities contributed. The receipts reported are all from dona- tions except $98, which was received by Detroit, Mch., from departmental revenues. This table also shows the value of land, buildings, and equipment owned by the cities but used for the display of exhibits of private associations. National in^tituiions for the 'preservation and exhi- hition of objects of nature and of art. — ^Though no data are shown in Table 18 for the National Museum and the National Gallery of Art, a brief presentation of their history may be of interest, especially as they are supported by the National Government in the inter- ests of the entire population of the United States. The National Museum. — ^The history of the first half century of the Smithsonian Institution contains the following statement: "The National Museum is the recognized depository for all objects of scientific interest and value which come into the possession of the Government. Its fimction is to preserve these treasures perpetually and to administer the collections in such a manner as to render them of the highest service to research and education." Those collections consist of zoological, botanical, geological, anthropo- logical, and other specimens. This museum has been under the control of the Smithsonian Institution since the organization of that institution in 1846 and is a natural development springing from the activities of the Government and expanding with those activities. It had its origin in the collections of the United States Exploring Expedi- tion sent out under Lieut. Wilkes in 1838 and was expanded by the long series of topographical and geological surveys of later years. The scientific in- vestigations of agriculture, fisheries, and mining made by the Government have also added largely to the valuable collections of the museum. In addition to the collections in the museum many duplicate speci- mens have been distributed for teaching purposes among the schools and colleges of the country. The new building was completed in 1909. Its lecture rooms have been used for many meetings, congresses, and lectures, as well as for receptions given by the regents. During the year closing June 30, 1915, there were 321,712 visitors to the new building, which was open every day, the average daily attend- ance being 888. The total attendance at the older building, not open on Sunday, was 133,202, a daily average of 425. Some sections of the museum are stiU in the Smithsonian building which was closed for repairs during five months of the year. The attend- ance in that building was 40,324 persons. The NaiioTial Gallery of Art. — ^The first defijiite move- ment which developed into the establishment of a national gallery of art in Washington, D. C, was the organization in 1840 of a society called "The National Institution for the Promotion of Science," the name being later changed to "The National Institute." Although established nominally for the pursuit of scientific studies, provision was made in its organiza- tion for a department of literature and fine arts. This society was later incorporated for a period of 20 years and was granted the use of quarters in the Patent Office building for housing its collection and also the Govern- ment collection confided to its care. Upon the completion of the Smithsonian building in 1858, the works of art owned by the Government 40 GENERAL STATISTICS OF CITIES. were transferred to the Smithsonian Institution and four years later the National Institute, upon the expi- ration of its charter, transferred its exhibit to the United States Government, and this also was placed in the Smithsonian Institution. At the close of the Centennial Exhibition at Phila- delphia in 1876, the National Museum, having at- tracted wide attention by its conspicuous display, became the recipient of many contributions from exhibitors, both foreign and domestic. The character and value of these gifts led Congress to make an appro- priation for the construction of a museum buUding, which was completed and occupied in 1881. By the acquisition of the Harriet Lane Johnston collection of paintings in 1906, the gallery of art was given a national importance and formally designated as the National Gallery of Art. The establishment of this title followed a friendly suit in court in con- nection with a clause in the will of Mrs. Johnston bequeathing the collection to the National Gallery of Art when such an institution should be estabhshed. This title was held to apply to the art collection in the Smithsonian Institution. The bequest of Mrs. Johnston, the first large collec- tion of which the Government had been made custo- dian, was followed in a short time by two other gifts of exceptional size and importance. One of these was the Charles L. Freer collection of approximately 4,811 art objects, of which 991 are American and 3,820 Oriental. Provision also was made by this donor for a structure suitable for housing the paintings. The other collection, which consisted originally of 50 paint- ings by contemporary American artists, but which has received subsequent generous additions, was the gift of Mr. WiUiam T. Evans. The receipt of the Harriet Lane Johnston bequest in 1906 made imperative the provision for suitable quar- ters in which to install the paintings, and in November of that year the lecture room in the National Museum building was assigned for that purpose. Numerous individual gifts of pictures have been received in recent years. These, with the collections previously mentioned, form the basis of a gallery which, it is expected, wiU become one of the most important of its kind. List of musewms and art galleries not administered hy the cities. — A number of privately administered muse- ums and art galleries are open to the pubhc; some of these received appropriations from the cities in which they are located and are included in Table 18, but by far the greater number were maintained by private subscriptions.

Conservatories. — Table 19, as its title indicates, is designed to present data pertaining to conservatories that are maintained primarily for the care and propa- gation of plants for exhibition purposes. Data for establishments employed primarily in the propagation of plants to be used in park ornamentation have been excluded, as far as reports rendered such exclusion possible. As some of the reports were not clear on this point it is probable that the statistics, as presented for a few of the cities, include data for propagating green- houses as well as for exhibition conservatories. It is probable that most of the cities for which no data are shown in Table 19 had at least the beginnings of conservatories, consisting of specimens of the flora of the Tropics, which by a strict classification would come within the field which this table was intended to cover; but such specimens, because of being kept in greenhouses or because of their limited number or value, have not been regarded by the officials as con- stituting conservatories, and no data were secured in regard to them. Conservatories were reported for only 27 of the 213 cities covered by this survey; the area under glass was reported for all but two of the 27 cities, expenses for aU but four, and the value of buildings for all but three. The failure to report areas was perhaps due to lack of data. In the cases where expenses were not reported these costs were not segregated from other park expenses, which results not only in lack of data for the expenses of conservatories but in showing excessive costs of parks in Table 10. Valuations of conservatories for the three cities not reporting them were not separately reported, but are included in the park valuations shown in Tables 10 and 20. Table 20. Value of recreational properties. — In Table 20 there is presented a consolidation of valuations shown in other tables of this report which have been explained in preceding pages. The total valuation of aU recreational properties as shown in Table 20 amounted to $1,263,279,877; as an offset the total indebtedness in 1916, as far as reported for such properties was $173,286,918, or 13.7 per cent of the total valuation. These figures are, however, more or less imperfect owing to the fact that certain cities reported indebtedness incurred for combined or imre- ported purposes which could not be segregated and may have contained debts incurred on account of recrea- tional properties . The municipal debt of all the cities is about 40 per cent of the valuation of all their properties, which indicates that a larger proportion of recreational property than of other city property has been fully paid for. This may be partially accounted for by a larger percentage of gifts of land for park pur- poses or of money for the purchase of such lands and construction of buildings used for recreational purposes. Indebtedness on account of recreational properties. — The following statement shows the indebtedness, as far as reported, of the several cities on account of recreational properties. The indebtedness of the 1 1 cities which are within the Metropohtan Park District of Massachusetts is not fully disclosed by this statement for the reason that no data are available pertaining to the amounts due the State from those cities on account of parks and other recrea- tion features the costs of which have been incurred by the State and charged to the cities. The cities referred to are Boston, Cambridge, Lynn, Somerville, Maiden, Chelsea, Newton, Everett, Quincy, Brookline, and Waltham.
