THE NEGLECTED PARKS AND RESERVATIONS.
The slovenly and abandoned look of some of the
public parks and reservations about the city is q
matter of unfavorabe comment. The grass and
weeds in much of the street parking have not
been cut the present season. The streets cross
ing the mall between North and South B streets
look badly; the groves of young poplars are
shooting up and Outstripping the weeds and grass.
| The wood fences which surrounded the street
parkings placed there by the board of public
works. have almost disappeared, leaving them
free. to be trodden over, and everywhere can be
seen foot paths worn into the turf over these
formerly neat enclosures. No one now hears OF
any more arrests for trespass ON these places,
which are free for ALL There can be but one
result from this neglect of the parks-a general
dilapidation and the censure of visitors who
