Communication.

Editors 6f he heRHshec IonrHai:
| noticed in your issue of yesterday an
article referring TO the giving OF band con-
cer's, l was glad TO see the suggestion
made and interest taken in that direction.
Ia other cities, concerts are given weekly
during the season, and in the larger places
money is Appropriated yearly towards de
frsyiug part OF the expense incurred by the
giving of the concerts.
The writer says our military band is 4
good one. which fact is true. The men,
bers have hung together for some time
past. AMI have persevered until under dill
gent practice and instruction they have
passed the most discouraging point. The
city ought to do something to show the boy
that their work is appreciated. sThe public
does not know WIS. they can play, as
they do not have the advantage
that other bands do. The erection Of a
band stand from which the concerts can be
given, is needed, aud, by the way. why not
erect ii en- the old .ise on the corner of
Grove aud State streets and wsster n
avenue, where the old Augusta band used
to give concerts.
Now that the idea has been thought Of,
let the ball continue to roll and the frs,
evidence shown by the quick erection of a
haudssand. II no other way can secure
such let subscrip,ion paper be introduced.
That = move be made in this direction i,
