(Copyright, 1926, Reproduction Forbidden) COMMUNICATED A Skating_Place Editor New Britaln Herald:~— The outdoor loving public of our oity, have heard reasons and ex- | cuses, why the North End pond ha not been flooded and put and kept in condition for skating purposes. | Many times strangers or new res- idents will enguire “Where in New Britain can a fellow go skating,"” the | only answer, “There is none. The powers the be—claiming & shortage of water—perhaps this is §0, but for the “Love of Mike," what excuse have the officlals of {his city, for not cleaning’ off and | keeping in condition the Walnut Hill pool, very small, but the only avail- able place, for skating, The expense would be small and would benefit hundreds, I dare say thousands of skaters,. especially the youngster, as several hundreds use it at any time, when the ice is in condition. 1t is but fair peoof once more, of the very small amount of public spirit, our local politiclans and city officials, have when it comes to spending for the good of the public. | Now for a permanent skating pond on the top of the hin, and the North End, and possibly a toboggan slide before the next eclipse. Our city with 70,000 people is en- titled to something besides hot-air. ¥ C. M.
