VOLUME I. NUMBER 13 NARBERTH, I-A., T H U R S D A Y ~ JANUARY 7,
1915 PRICE TWO CENTSPARK PLANS TO BECOMPLETED SOON
-
The exper t town planners and landscape engineers, whose
services havebeen secured by the civic associationfor the planning
and development ut"Narberth Park," are busily engagedin the
preparat ion of final plans inaccordance with general instructionsg
iv en by the park development committee, and as soon as t he ,e a
re completed they wi ll b e presented to thatcommittee for
approval, after whichspeci fica tions wil l be prepa red andbids
obtained from contractors.Mr. Pope will be over from NewYork this
week w it h several men tosta ke out the g round in accordancewi th
p lan s, in order to obtain ageneral view of t he layout as it
willappear when completed.In the meantime, negotiations arennder
way w ith the gas, water telephone and electric light companieswith
a view to procuring their cooperation in the l ay ing of p ip es
andconduits at the time the work ont he p ark i s b ei ng done , "
0 that therewill be no necessity for d ig gi ng updrives for this
purpose af ter the workIs complet('d. There wi ll b e no ove rh ead
wi res t o mar t he b eaut y o f tiledevelopment, and art is ti c
lamp postswlll t ak e t he place of the usual unsightly poles.At f
irst thought, the idea of spendinga large sum of money to buy, d
evelopand improve a piece of land an'lpresenting a l ar ge p ar t
or it to thecommunity fre e o f ch arg e, sOunr!"more like a
philanthropy than a bu".ness proposition. Bu t when we stopto
cOl1sider the fact that every dollar's worth of attraction and
beantyad de d t o this tract means a dollar'sworth o f v al ue
added to the homesites abutting thereon, wpo begin torealize that,
after all. t he re may hetwo s id es to the quest ion. And afterwe
have thought a little further amiconsidered the desirability of
thisparticular tract as a place of residenceand consequent demand
for homes Init, the fact that no other suburb orPhiladelphia will
have such an att raction to offer the homeseeker, and themany other
advantages of the development , we wll l perhaps conclu'tlethat the
p romote rs of this projectknew what they were about and thatit il
l probably turn out to be justwhat they claimed for i t -a
soundbusiness proposition and a practicaldemonst ra tion of the pos
si bi li ty ofdeveloping land in an ext remel y at tractive manner
ar.Ll a t t he same timerealize to the inve'.'tor a reasonable
1'''turn on h is money .While t he many pUblic-spirited peopie Who
subscribed to this projectand thereby made it possible of
exeClltion had no thought of making profitwe hope and believe they
will beagreeahly surprised at the r esult.Here's to the succ( 's s
of the undertaldng now under way toward actualrealization.

not be n e c e s ~ a r y for them to
