A wire fence eight feet high is be- ing erected around the two lakes in the Soldiers’ Home grounds, which for years have been the rendezvous for hundreds of children with boats and toys. Authorities at the home declared it was purely for the purpose of pro- | f tecting the lives of the children. For a long time, it was said, there had been under consideration a proposal to fence the lakes, in order to pre- vent the possibility of children drowning. The board of governors recently voted $2. to erect the fence and work was started yester- .
