Clean paths are ' m every sense desirable, but leafless a pathways may be, and are being, obtain- * ed at too great cost. It is the practice » just now to send the assistant round ' the park with a big, hard broom, witt '■ which to tidy up the walks. Should * he come to a little dust-hole he sweeps * it clean; result—a hole on the path. On « some of the paths fringed by bin- trees' r the roots are showing. Every applica- '' lion of the broom uncovers them .still '' further. The walks are being swept a- ' hollow as waterways, and it is really •' up to" the Board to find some other <■ way of tidying up. t
