PUBLIC OPINION

Editor of The Farmer; Sir
 In a recent issue of your valuable naper. mention was made concerning the future of @Yellow Mill Pond" and of it's special relation to the city, s growth. and the likelihood of its be- coming an important center for the handling of the products of our 1n- dustrious city. and a central depot for the transportation of it's manufac- tures..
 E That this section holds in it's grasp. opportunities of vastly greater eons1- iteration pertaining to the welfare of our rapidly growing City by the Sea, than any other in a, radius of many miles: is. and has been, the entertain ed idea of the writer for many years.
 With your permission, offer, for reprint a few lines which your jour nal published, almost twenty (2O) years ago, setting forth, in fancy what has in a comparative sense, almost pointed to a realization of the dream.
 That the future of our city Is a glowing one, cannot be gainsaid and it behooves all who have it in their pow CT. to meet the growing demands, that are almost beyond the pace of an or dinary boom, to 1egislate judtciously, with such an appreciation of the growing needs of an increasing com nunitv. that shall furnish adequate conditions for many years to come
 ITO inc older inhabitants of Bridge port, the recalling of one of the "Old Land Marks the site of the "Old Yel- low Mill" will undoubtedly, be inter estine. and afford a subject for com parison between then, (189D, and our progressive time of 1916-
