MAYOR APPEALED TO
 ABOUT CHELSEA PARADE
Citizens Want To See The Grass Cut
 Oftener.

Residents in the neighborhood of the Chelsea parade have recently been expressing some very open criticism of the way thetgrass on the parade is left uncut and a number of them stated that they had been to Mayor Murphy to see if something could not be done to keep this spot in more presentable appearance and not make the city the target for the unfavorable comment that they had heard passed by visitors from other places.
 Through it's location they said. Chelsea parade particularly draws the attention of automobile tourists, who one and all have pronounced this tr1- angular green one of the most beauu- full spots that they have seen but have drawn some very unpleasant compar1- sons between the way such public spot is kept here and the way 1t would be taken care of in other places
 When questioned about this on Tuesday Mayor Murphy said that it was a fact that he had been spoken to about the Chelsea, parade, both by local people and by out of town peo- people and that he had had to tell them that this was town affair In the hands of the selectmen, to whom he had spoken about cutting the grass oftener. The grass has been cut once this season but it needs it again, and the mayor said that it ought to be cut at least once d Wceh IO heep b4lS pe"l h looking right and he would offer to have the grass cut once a week for S10O for the season if he were given the opportunity.
 To those who complained of the way the grass at the Chelsea parade was allowed to grow long, the mayor said he had pointed out the Boswell avenue park as an example of the way he would take care of the parade if he had an opportunity, having the grass cut every week.
