1 Public squares.-Mr Editor viii you
permit me- through your columns, to ask of our
city fathers why nothing has been done with the
grounds purchased for Public Squares, some two
years agoi
These grounds have been paid for. and the inter.
est of the money thus paid is going on, while our
citizens are reaping no advantages whatever. Can
not commencement towards preparing them, be
made fer when this shall be done, judging from
experience ten years will expire before they,
