Sir: read In the papers descriptions OF grand

The use Of Congressman, members Of the Legislature
Aldermen, city officials, pretty much all the politicians
I'm the country and also for the few willing to pay
"a n Seat. What would lfle to know is where The
people come IN especially women aud ohildnen a
few front stOops arc not going to accommodate tho
rnultitlIdes, and not moro than one person In ton
can see anything from level Of the sidewalk The
parrnit 10 trqickdver to back up to tho corners OF
the streets, Judging from what have seen during
former great psrades is not worth considering. Trucks
would be filled with people, mostly women and chill
dren twho had often paid exorbant prices, and the
poleo would order the drivers to move on. or they
wouldn't wait 10 be ordered but would move on away
from tho parade tho people losing both their money and
their view.
There was q suggestion made for tho city 10 erect
n grand stand around Union Square that would hold
Thousands. admittance 70 which should be so cents
and % cents The authorities do not seem 10 be do
voting their attention 10 this proposition possibly DO

have this stand provided and II would DO thoroughly

itssn New-York IL looked 70 by the rest OF The
