LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
A Perilous Place for Chtldren.

Editor Star: The circle at the intersection
OF 18th and p streets northwest is one of the
most attractive in the city, and everv day and
evening is thronged by people of every nation,
race, sex, previous condition, &c. never pass
through this pretty place, however. without A
shudder at the thought of a tragedy that sure
ly will occur if some precaution is not taken
to prevent it. The basin of the fountain has a
depth of from 215 to = feet, with slipping sides
toward the center. With its low coping at the
circumference this fountain is as ingenious
an apparatus to drown children as could have
been devised by accident. Surely the engineer
could not have been contemplating the serjouS
question of our surplus population when he
designed this beautiful but dangerous park or.
nament.
How easily might one of the hundreds OF
children who lean over the edge Of the basin
to play in the water, pitchifOremost and perish
before assistance could be received. Poor peo.
pie cannot afford to hire attendance for their
children. and rich folk cannot ALWAYS secIre
nurses who are prOverhial for good Judgment
in an emergency. Will not Gen. Casey have 4
neat iron fence set around the coping of this
basin, and thus render such accidents imp0s-
Sble? n
