To the Editor Of The Evening Start
The agitation over the neglect of the
parking on Capitol Hill along Pennsyva-
MIA avenue from I'd to Sth streets south
east is timely and should attract the at
tenton of officials in charge to see that
this important thoroughfare should receive
the attention that it's natural beauty and
Importance demands. The grass on this
presenting a ragged and neglected appear
ance. The railroad and electric light COM
pany should be compelled to regrass the
bare spots made by frequent alterations
This main thoroughfare 10 all south
eastern sections should be maintained in
such modern style that would be a pride
tC all. Flower beds should be introduced
If not possible, then a grass lawn worthy
