A GOOD IDEA.
There Is a movement on foot among n
few gentlemen who have children who
enjoy skating 10 get permission from the
Waterman estate TO flood what is known
as Frog pond on Hartford avenue and
then get the city officials TO do something
towards the scheme. for these gentlemen
cannot see why they should be Obliged 10
send their children TO Roger Williams
park for such sport, when IL can be en-
joyed SO near at home.
This is one OF the, best spots in the city
for this sort of amusement, and Is some
thing that should receive more than
passing thought. and no doubt those VINO
have the matter I'm hand will do their ut
most to bring II about.
