Excerpt from Milwaukee, 100 Photogravures
The climate of Milwaukee is admirable, similar in many' respects to that of New England, tempered in summer by its proximity to Lake Michigan, from which blow cool and invigorating breezes, making the warmest Milwaukee days comfortable. In fact, Milwaukee has attained national reputation as a summer resort, as it combines all the conveniences and comforts of the city with the clear atmosphere of the country. The lawns, shaded streets and parks give a sense of freedom which cannot be obtained in any other metropolis. It is said that the cream-colored bricks, of which Milwaukee is built, reflect the sun instead of absorbing the heat, and that this, in some measure, accounts for the rapid escape of the summer heat and the coolness after nightfall. There are more shade trees in Milwaukee than in any other city of its size, and nearly all the residence streets are so arranged that the sidewalks run inside a little strip of greensward, in which stately trees are planted, thus forming a charming addition to the beauty of the surroundings. Milwaukee is blessed with numerous city parks which, though purchased within the last two years, are already showing the results of careful development. The Lake Shore parks are beautiful beyond descrip tion, and when the boulevards are completed throughout the city, it will make a park and drive system unrivaled.
Near to Milwaukee, in every direction, are numerous inland lakes reached by romantic drives. Along the shores of Lake Michigan are various resorts where summer amusements are to be found.
Statistics of health show that Milwaukee stands in the first rank - a fact accounted for by the rolling surface and the elevation above the lake; by pure water perfect drainage; the absence of excessive heat in summer, and the absence of poverty.
Morally, Milwaukee is unrivaled, it being a remarkable fact that the number of policemen per capita is less than in any other large city in the world, and it might be added that this number have very little to do.
