OBJECT ID FISHING
 IN NORTH END PARK
(Continuod from First rase)

transported to one 0. the city's beauty spots.
 Says Boys Are Nuisance
 Then trouble started. The old fashioned hoy who wriggled his bare toes in the water while he complacently flshed, seemed to have passed out of the picture. In his place, according 10 residents of Bel videre. has come the harumscarum boy of the city. The boy with the destructive tendencies: the boy who is the natural enemy Of cops.
 Instead of fishing quietly and actually fishing, the youngsters got into mischief. They cut down sap ling for fish poles. They yelled and shouted. not being overly choice an their selection of words; they com mitted all sorts Of nuisances against :he peace of the community and wound up by carefully depositing park benches in the water. prob ably believing through their unfa- n''llarity with fishing. that these benches We're supposed to be placed in the water for the ease and com- fort of juvenile fishermen.
 Eelvidore residents have declared political and legal war on their probable successors as voters and property owners-the boys or that section. The fishing must stop. they say. and it is said that the petition, now in the hands Of Sidney Curran, seems to indicate unanimous sen timent. Mayor Paonessa has been asked 10 recall his privilege and withdraw the fishing from the park.
 Mayor Will Not Change stand
 Eut tho boys Of the city are no. without their friends. Mayor pao- nessa will refuse 10 withdraw from the boys one Of the fundamentals of bpyhood--the fight 10 fish.
 The boys must have their fun, says he. We can't spoil the pleasure Of declared the mayor, while we have parks and places for them 10 play" A keen fisherman himself. the mayor insists that the boys will retain their rights to fish. We will put policeman there. if you want one. Two if necessary. Bel vidcro people will have protection, but the boys will not be stopped said the mayor
 "Wc must have some place to keep the boys and girls off the streets" continued the official who s the father of q thriving and hand some group of boys and girls of his own. and we will give what pro- lection is necessary hut not at tho expense of the children"
