INDIANAPOLIS IS NOW
TO COPY KANSAS CITY.

Getting Pointers From Our
Parkways and Drives.

Indianapolis has employed George E. Kessler of Kansas City to lay out and superintend the construction of a system of parkways and boulevards. Harry L. Robbins of that city, a real estate agent, is in Kansas City at present, weighing the value of the driveways and parks here.

"It is away beyond what I expected to find," said Mr. Robbins yesterday. "You people here do not know what a great reputation you have abroad. I have heard Kansas City preached every time I have heard parks and boulevards mentioned. As a matter of fact, Kansas City is a classic in park lore now. The reputation is worth having.

"It is famous throughout the East. I do know know about the West. I expect it is known in Europe. I am not going beyond the mark when I say that it is more frequently mentioned than any other city I have ever heard of."
