Like many others. have occasion to pass
through Madison and Union parks in the evening.
and occasionally through Washington Park. and find
them all poorly lighted. AS the price of gas has
been so much reduced hope you will use your
influence with John Kelly and try to coax him to
give little more light in the city parks. His

ANOTHER Il ROAD NUISANCE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Have the citizens Of New York rights that the
New York Elevated Railroad bound to respect?
I know it is necessary to have coal and water for
the engines. but why need they place their coal and
water in the heart OF the city, directly in front of
first class houses when the entire Ninth ave.
nue. above Sixty-third street is vacant. and one
would be annoyed, matter what they did? The
Ninth avenue road have now placed tank in front
of the houses Ninth avenue and Stxtyfrst street.
We could stand that without grooming. 1t seems
that was sufficient, they built platform over
the street shutting off all sunshine and then dumped
their coal between the guard rails. Last night after
the stoppage of the trains they commenced dump
ing, and it impossible to sleep till it was all
over. Have to suffer this continually? Have
the authorities no power to dictate to them where
they shall establish their coal yard? II we must
have it, why not compel them to dump their coal in
the day time when people are awake and stand it
It'll over, and then compel them to keep 1t wet?

the Board in it's official capacity makes free with
its criticisms upon the intelligence to be found
among the young men Of our Republic by drawing
invidious companions as to how much more the
trained young men of the Military Academy
