Shoemaker, in a communication to The Star, called at- tion to vandalism which was being per- mitted within the boundaries of Rock Creek Park—vandalism which is completely eliminating many of the picturesque fea tures of what will some day be this cit particular pride. Today Mr. John Saul—of the City Parking Commission and a thor- cughly competent authority—joins Mr. Shoemaker in his vigorous protest against this wanton destruction of natural beau- ties. Rock Creek Park is now in the hand! of those who by law have been designated its permanent guardians, the transfer hav- ing just been completed; they should hasten to protect the park from those who are doing irreparable damage to its flora and who see in the great quartz boulders over and past which the creek so ple- turesquely dashes and foams nothing more than good material with which to repair roads, ee There were fifty men employed the city post-ottice building t and unless the weather changes for the worse the number will hardly decrease during the day. Fifty busy men, skilled in their respective vocations, might, per- haps—according to the old and over-liberal estimate of The Star—complete the struc- ture by January 2, 1898, That they are likely to do so cannot longer be regarded as even a possibility.
