The matter is one that has been made
the subject Of a mass Of correspondence
between interested citizens and the Com
missiOuers- Fond parents have written
against the proposed regulation. stating
that such action viii deprive their chill

+ This is cOunterbalanced by rommunica-
tons recitiug instances Of in0ffending. old
women who have been knocked down by
skaters. The subject was referred to the
corporation counsel. The following letter
was received from him by the Commis-
siOners yesterday.
The Commissioners have the power. IN
my opinion, 10 regulate dangerous means
OF lOcomotion in the use Of the sidewalks

tion i'm favor of children, but I doubt the
validity OF a regulation based on an age

the one which is least Objectionable from
a legal standpoint is prohibition OF roller

Il is understood the last regulation pro
posed by the corporation counsel will be
the one adopted by the Commissioners.

famous Octagon House was written yes
terday afternoon when a tablet in honor
of the founders Of the American Institute

ton was given. at which a distinguished
number of guests mingled with the archi-
tscts in the drawing rooms OF the old

architectural Institutes throughout the
world brought personal messages of con-
graduation to the American society. while

Decline to Open Barnaby Road.

unfavorably on the bill to create the
Barnaby road from its intersection with

Barnaby road being considered a private
road, the Commissioners do not believe
that il warrants improvements from pub
lie funds They suggest that while it re-
mains in its present status as a private
thoroughfare, IL could be improved by
the owners Of The abutting property.
