Dear Sir.
Being An advocate of fair play I
feel forced to make u reply to your cores
pondtnt GA Parent in Bulletin OF 18th last.
Your correspondents article was not required,
because what he complained about did not
exist ut the time the article appeared, aud
his unnecessary dispersion was therefore out
Of Place. Now to put the facts before the
public and show that ga Parent" was out of
date, which he could have prevented if he
had given himself the trouble Of a little walk,
/ will now relate what happened. On tue
18th August for the first time several Parents
found out that the StreetCommission through
it's chairman had given orders for barbed
wire to be placed around the grass plots
outside of the Fort, which was of course dis
tasteful to them apart from the danger to
the children playing around there. A Parent
Il don't know if it is the same one of the
article signed hal way went to the G.
members for the town asking if they would
write something in the papers OF DO some
thing in the matter The End member for
the town, Golden, / know, told the parent
ia question that he would not write any
thing to the papers, but that he would get
up IL petition for the purents and others IN
terested to sign. Well this WAS done by one
of the members, which one I can't SOY, but

do such things" and with the statement he
pulled out of his pocket n long sheet of paper
aud started to read some beautiful prose; it
WAS so pleasant that the End member drop.
