In the fall OF 1893 son Of Mr.. T. A.

Remedy and it always cures them. He

xrieved because the public at large holds him re-
sponsible for the condition Of Ocean Parkway He
said II was not due 10 any neglect on his part. but
principally to the lack Of funds. Park Commissioner

for the Ocean Parkway alone. while Mr.. Woodruff
got only paltry of $4,000 to take care of the
Parkway. Fort Hamilton-ave. and Twenty second

even with this 1t not for the fact that the
water main has been worn out with age, and has
