SAYS THE BRONX NEEDS FAIRGROUNDS.
To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: u is very gratifying TO the citizens OF
greater New-York 10 note that The Tribune fully
realizes the need Of plenty Of Fairgrounds for
children" It's editorial Of January 81 on this point
echoes the opinion Of all its readers, and espe-
claly earns the gratitude of the nyTiads Of chill
dren OF our great city who have no other places
for their sports and games than the public streets
For years the residents Of the Borough OF The
Bronx have sought to have the two or more IN
used acres OF Bensonia Cemetery converted into a
public park and playground. The locality In which
n IS situated is peculiarly appropriate for these
purposes surrounded a. IL is by the hundreds of
tenements that have sprung up within the last
decade.
But to the object OF my communication, which Is
to urge upon our municipal authorities the neces-
sity of speedy action with regard 20 this subject
as wanton trespassers fast destroying the trees
that were once the ornament Of this desoate aban-
doned cemetery. Five Of them were cut down by
the poor the vicinity in December last and their
every branch and twig carted away. Most of those
now remaining have been girdled. and it is only
question of time when this reservation will be as
barren OF vegetation the Desert OF Sahara.
1t would be unjust to complain of the inacton Of
the city government. so far as the past is con-
cerned. fer two separate occasions the local
graveyard for park purposes technical reasons
only preventing the contamination Of the project.
At the same time | would earnestly call upon the
various municipal departments that have jurisdic-

Of The Bronx, with it's quarter of million of in
