The Park Gem nissio Q ners.

To the Editor of tho JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 A good deal of unnecessary criticism of park commissioners has been uttered from time to time in tue heat of discussions and when conflicting interests clashed as regards sites for new parks. It was engendered under such circumstances no doubt. It has been claimed that there was Ca cat in the meal" in the shape of real estate speculations, behind the action of the commissioners, but as stated, it does not seem as If any such re- marks could have been made except in ex- citement or thonghtlsssly, for the commis- sioners are gentlemen whose names are a guarantee of tho singleness of their purpose and that they are aotuated solely for the pub- lio interest in the discharge of their labors. The members of the park commission are as follows: W. T. Blake, Mayor Peck, Profess sor s. E. Baldwin, General E. E. Bradley, Hon. James M. Townsend, Treasurer W. w. Farnam of Yale college, Henry F., son of the late ex-Governor J. E. English, Alderman &. s. Thompson, Mr. Loveridge of the Business college, Selectmen John l. Goodrich, all of whom are large taxpayers and representatives of the city's best interests.
