Our Suggestion.

We were not the first to suggest placing an
iron fence around the Courthouse, but we arc
determined to be first in suggesting that the
fence should be painted groea. We hope the
Board of Police will carry it out, Jour sugges-
tion-nOt the fence,) for we can conceive of no
more appropriate color to harmonic with the
verlant carpet which viii be soon spread in the
soon put forth from the trees and shrubbery
lately set Out there. The black fence looks too
much like the enclosure Of graveyard We
think our argument whOlely de.teHse-ible and
