To THH EDITOR OF The SUy-Sir: Cannot
something be done TO Danish automobiles from
Central Parkt They are public nuisances. Not
only on account OF their noise and dirt. but also
brcause the rank smell OF gasolene polutes the air
and Is a source Of fort and annoyance 70
people who DIVE or walk or sit in the park.
Just at this season. when the Towering shrubs
and blossoms ere at their best, We should like 70
enjoy them and their sweet scents. but the atmos-
phere Is so vitiated from the stencil OF the motor
cara that many people ore nauseated and sickened-
! have been told recently by several invaids that
they are debarred from their daily dnve or outing
In the park on account Of the slckening smell from
the motor cars.
The park Is for the public comfort and the
owners of motor cars should not be allowed to
spoil It and selnshly become nuisanees as they arc
suggest that gasolrne and steam motors be
not permitted in Central Park. and ] hope that
Others will Join me In my protest. FAIR PLAY.
