Gullets will be seen at close Inter vals along the entire front, great stones scattered along the granolithic walk in viting mischievous boys to destrov the concrete steps, rubbish from the floods or last Spring covering the granolithic walk, water running over the walk im mediately north of the pumping station, and other evidences of neglect and In difference. City Commissioner Bowman has given a . 'in l * illustration of how the slope should be treated in the riprapping of the slope immediately south of the plaza wall at the pumping station. He has also constructed at this point a walk along the slope that is convenient and substantial. Most people are wondering why it should be so difficult to put the entire terrace in permanent shape by riprapping and heavy planting of shrubbery. So the >ingestion that to-morrow the people who will walk along the lower and upper walks should be the eves of the community and let the Department of Parks know how they feel about it. tDVOCATKK NKWHPAPKH ADS \Vcrners*il!e.
