PAIRING Down the Reservations.

PAIRING Down the keservatlons.
To the Editor Of The Star:
Was there no one to protest against
the policy Of pairing down the reserva-
tons just to make uniform sidewalks
refer to the reservations around the
Luther Memorial Church, in front of the
Church of the Covenant and around the
Webster statue west Of Scott Circle.
Those reservations were each pared
dow n three or four feet apparently just
form with those in adjacent blocks.
or. as In the case Of the Church of the
Covenant, to make a sidewalk where
none had been and none was needed.
For aught we knew the process is still
going on in other parts of the city. Ii
Washington boasts of its beauty, 1t had
better keep its grass plots and not
turn them into concrete. Some of the
parks are offenders in this respect. In
sary amount of ground is given up to
concrete and gravel walks. What one
wants in park is grass and trees
and not concrete and gravel The res
erVatiOn around the Public Library In
Mount Vernon Square has been. In the
opinion of the undersigned, almost
spoiled by superfluous concrete walks
to the sacrifice of grass plots. There
have recently been added great ugly
walks from the streets to each cor
ner or the building. which, in view of
the already existing walks, would ap-
pear to have been quite Unnecessary.
They had better keep on and turn the
whole square into one ugly plaza of
concrete. since that and not grass
plots, seems the more desirable.
