health. And physical discomfort.

CONGRESSMAN AND PosToFFIcEs.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Much the fact may be regretted that cir
cumstances make necessary the existence OF a sys-
TEN under which members OF Congress make re-
quests Of the Postoffice Department in the name
of men upon whom they to a degree dependent
for support. is It reasonable TO assume that mo-
tives OF sefinterest form the basis OF the system
and sweeplngly to condemn the practice as one of
petty Office brokerage transactions?
II the recommendations. however just, were made
solely for the benefit OF the postmaster or clerk
concerned. and IL any other equally effective
method of presenting requests could be devised
the propriety Of the system might fairly be open
to discussion.
But representing postmasters before the Post
Office Department is primarily public service and
as such falls within a Congressman's Legitimate
sphere of action The granting OF additional clerk
hire and the increasing OF allowances may involve
the difference between fhe public'e receiving
and receiving the efficient service which It has
a right demand. " lille the general public is
unconscious OF the efforts which constantly

Importance of Breathing Spots in City
Through Summer Pointed Out

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Once again permit me TO trespass upon
the courtesy Of The Tribune and the patience Of
IT'S readers The Importance Of the subject upon
which desire to write is my only excuse for so
doing.
In a very short time the public schools will be
closed. and half million OF children thrown upon
the hot. asphalted. shadeless streets OF the citv
to seek amusements best they may in the alb
sence of promised recreation grounds. The physical
necessities Of the little OF our metropolis
seem TO be ignored postponed year after year
both by legislators at Albany and by our local
authorities here.
Let me therefore. IN "a strong English as
can command. urge upon all interested to see that
plenty or breathing spaces and little parks be
accorded these wards Of common city. l
would especially recommend that more recreation
piers be improvised, and / further suggest that
small reservations be provided for them in every
section OF the metropolis.
As education has been made compulsory IL Is
absolutely essential require that certain stated
amount of money be annually appropriated for
ample spaces. wherein children can have out.
door exercise and heaIthful amusement in every
part Of the year That this should be done
ana done at once IS a fact patent that l need
not waste time and words to prove the same All
that Is now wanted is to centre public attention
on crying necessity and municipal authorities
