"ECEPTIONS"
"City Park Improved," indeed!!!
Oh, not but what that's all well and
good. Sure, its FINE, but we take
exception to the statement, "nothing
adds more to the attractiveness of a
town than a nicely kept park." How
many places can boast a lovely bay
shore drive-way into town? And if
that drive-way be piled with no end
of every conceivable manner of old
junk and barbed wire, OH!! OH!!!
Yes, and unsightly holes dug out. and
the dirt therefrom hauled in to make
the town pretty. Well, it will take
more than a pretty park to erase the
picture of East Bay Drive. This mat-
ter has been brought to notice many
times heretofore. Will public senti-
ment arise to the rescue of common
decency ? —A Sufferer.
