The Fair Haven Park.

 The Committee on Squares Hear Many
 Arguments For and Against the Fro-
 posed Park on East Grand Street.
 The Committee on Squares met last eVen- ing at the City Hall Present, Alderman Barker, CounciImen Gallagher, Goering, Per ry. Warner, Melia and Schlecter. They heard parties interested in the petition of MT. W. A. Waterbury and others for pub lie park on East Grand street. The land
 proposed for the park is part of the Ealtby
 estate. There was very large attendance,
 the committee room being filled to overflow
 ing. The committee listened to William A.
 Waterbury, E. c. aiIlf Samuel Johnson, Will
 liam Witte, Curtis F. Evarts William T. Por- ter, A. D. Tyrrell, Thomas F. Lowe, Richard
 Burns, William Carroll, A. J. Weld, John
 Casey, Abram Schappa, all of whom are in favor of the park and own property near it. After they had been heard the committee l heard an equal number of property holders Blatchley, Dr. J. P. Phillips, Nelson A. Lud- l ington, J. E. Harding, Michael Galligan, l Councilman Patrick Kent, Samuel Halliwell, Michael Egan, James L. Hull, John Clyne, l John Gibbon, Richard Lowe and Michael Bannon. < | The petitioners claImed that the parK was ! needed for sanitary reasons, that it could
 now be bought to great advantage, and that adjoining property holders would willingly ! bear the necessary assessment. Those op' | posed to the park urged that the land could 1 be used to better advantage to afford homes 1 to workingmen. It was convenient to the shops and the Grand street side of the park l would soon be filed up with stores, thereby increasing business. Five buildings are now in process of erection on the premises which in case the land was condemned, the city would have to remove at considerable expense.
 The committee adjourned to meet Satur day afternoon at 5 o'clock, at which time I they will view the premises. They will re port to the Board of Aldermen Monday even ing.

ing to add another expensive feature to our system. True Kindergartens, if they exist at all, for long time at least, exist as @ form of charity. It is, however, of supreme importance that our teachers as a class be.
 come familiar with the genius and philosophy

 way of accomplishing this end than to em- ploy one Kindergartner as a teacher in the

 OFFICE OF CHIEF OF FIRE DEPARTMENT,
 No. 15 C1TY HALL,
 NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Aug. 29, 1883. Geo. R. Kelsey, Esq:
 Dear Sir-Your favor of to day, with check enclosed for the sum of $25, is re- ceived. Though you did not state the disposition I should make with it, take it for granted and assume that it is intended for the use of the fund for sick and disabled fremen connected with our department. l accept it as such, and thank you on behalf ton. ould at this time also suggest that measures be taken by those interested in the purchase of hose and cart, say five hundred feet, more or less, two or three ladders and about the same number of hooks and two axes. And should yor so desire would fur nish the above equipment for less cost prob ably than anyone else could procure the same as am purchasing for the city and private individuals and corporations from time to time.
 This suggestion is made because you now have the water facilities and that you may be independent at all times of outside help and also for the reason that the time may come when you might require our assistance and we be so situated that we could not render it rates of insurance. Anything that can dc for you in this direction at any time please command me. Very respectfully, A. c. HENDR1CK,
