MIR. DOHL TELLS
ABOUT PLAYGROUND.

To the Edition OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL wish to reply TO Coun-
Gilman Bilderback's statement about
children playing on the playground at
Twenty-fourth and Tatnall streets,
Mr. Bilderback said that so far asNbe
knew. there is only one man who OBJ
! iects TO children playing on the lot
in question. and that be is a "clty
employe" living opposite the play
ground. In the first place / would
like Bildcrback TO come out openly
and say who the person is who OBJ
jects TO children playing on said piece
of ground. /, for my part, never OBJ
iected if they played right, but of
late there has been a crowd Of boys
ranging from ten TO eighteen years /
of age, coming on the lot and playing /
football all afternoon and until late [
at night-as late as ten o'clock-and /
the language used is unfit for publi-
cation.
When / moved to Twenty-fourth
and Tatnall about five years ago.
said playground was nothing but an
ash pit and ia a very unsanitary
condition, as neighbors dumped ashes
and refuse there. went to City
Council and asked the members to
sign a petition to have conditions
remedied and have the place turned
into a playground. City Council and
the ex-mayor signed this petition to
have the land turned into playground I
and turned IL over to the Park Com
mission, which planted trees, sodded |
the lot and fixed It in such fine I
condition that IL was a pleasure for /
children TO play on. And there was
never any objection raised by me, as
! am an advocate of Fairgrounds
If such playing as has been car
ried on lately keeps up / do object, as
the city has spent considerable money
on said ground. AS Bilderback says
l am the only one who complains I
will state that there is one neighhor,
who lives closer than / do. to said
playground, who complained to me
that the balls came over his fence,
and when he objected the boys cursed
him. Yours respectfully,
Daniel Dohl.
