front OF the Young Hotel and promo |
ton committee rooms, be secured for |
the purpose of artistically planting and
growing the various products of our
Islands, these to be arranged in an
artistic and attractive manner.
50 would suggest a fountain and an
aviary, in which may be kept tropical
birds only. This aviary of tropical |
birds l think would be a distinctive
feature in itself, as ! know of none i
other, although there may be, at pres
ent in existence in any other city. Bish-
op Park, situated as it is, in the cent
ter of our city, opposite the Young
Hotel where many of our tourists are
housed and in front of the promotion
committee rooms, is particularly desir-
able for the above purpose and would
Iacquaint many people with the pro-
ductive value of these Islands who
would otherwise go away with the idea
that sugar cane and pineapples are the
only products that can be grown here
For the Children.
81 would also call your attention
to the necessity of proper playground
for our children. My attention has
been called to this, since l have been
the father of a little boy two years
old. On pleasant afternoons, my wife
has had the nurse girl take him to
Thomas Square for few hours of rec,
reation. While there are plenty of
shade trees and grass, would suggest
that swings, sand and other features
that would be of pleasure to child be
placed there. The grass is ofbentimes
fnn no -
and as the park is used by many as a
means of outing for their children the
results of our efforts would be of
benefit to the general community.
"Another suggestion, is that the res
idents be requested to trim all thu
overhanging shrubs and branches of
shade trees that annoy pedestrians as
they walk along our sidewalks. In
many instances one has to step to the
c1rbing in order to avoid contact with
the branches of these trees. great
deal of attention has been given to
our streets and very little to our side
walks Our streets would be greatly
, improved by the removal of unsightly
! fences that adorn many premises, the
sidewalks would be improved, if the
residents were to lay cement walks and
to plant shade trees between these
walks and the eurbing. In many places
1.-THE sidewalks are dangerous, mas.
much, as they are abruptly lowered in
places to permit of a driveway from
the street to the premises. Especially
do | call your attention to Beretania
street, that street being most promi'
nent because of the street cars and
automobiles carrying tourist on sight
( seeing tours. In many places 1t is a
: disgrace TO our community and should
4 receive immediate attention.
: "The matter of identifying the wa
terffont has already been taken up; il
0 addition TO this, the need of beauti
:. flying the approach TO the city from
D the docks should receive our earnest
y consideration, especially watering the
? streets upon the arrival Of all passen
