ELMWOOD PARK.
TO THI EDITOR.
j;' Sir, —I hear that a scheme is on foot 1 to obtain a park for breathing 6pace j;: in the Elmwood district, and that that * district is being quickly surrounded by % close settlement. In the interests of j? settlement, could not the park be ob- ;'', tained under the Public Works Act?
, Surely the health of a community is of ':, as much value as many things to which j : the_,Act is applied. I suggest that a ji petition, signed by all concerned, bo , ; , sent to the Government by the City I Council, placing the matter before the : Prime Minister, seeing that he is | s granting freehold to leaseholders. If I it is right to take from the State the I interest derived from the leaseholds, is surely, on the same principle, land I should be taken where health is the | main object.—l am, etc., I R, DONALDSON.
