FEBRUARY 21, 1010. MAY NOT REACH IT! Matters Not Srente oa| LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. The City Council Should Oppose i Razing of Naval Cottages. Kingston, Feb. 21.--(To the Edit- or): The city council should at once take action to restrain the dominion goveriment from the act of vandalism involved in the destruction of the old 'naval cottages on Point Frederick, | These buildings are almost a com> tury old, and they have the simple | {dignity of construction which éharac. teri our architecture before the period when our national culture came {to be typified by the mansard roof jand the corner grocery. It is such busklings as these which give to Kingston so much of distine- {tion as our pational vulgarity and commercialism have permitted it to retain. { It is buildings such --awthese that ! constitute the source of interest which {draws tourists to the Limestone City, {a consideration which should: appeal jto the very utilitarianism which is inow urging their destiuction; for with the disappearance of thése and other {ancient landmarks, Kingston will pos- sess no more of interest than Ganan. oque or Bath. Tourists will certainly not stop to look at such edifices as the Hank of Montreal, and the Clari- fied milk building. The government has already injured Kingston in this regard by erecting at Point Frederick a group of buildings which resemble the plant of a strug- gling boot and shoe factory rather than a seat of military education. They should not be allowed to de- stroy edifices which are in far better taste than any of which the architec- turel spirit of Ottawa is likely to replace them with, and the disappear- ance of which would be a great loss to the city.--~L'HOMME FACHE, Ways of Escape Needed. Parham, Feb. 19.--(To the Edit or) : Alter reading the facts in con- nection with the dreadiul railroad dis- aster which took place not long ago, I was impressed with the need of some plan by which passengers could ob- tain exits when a car became over- turned and the thought struck ime, why not make the roof of. railway coaches of some light material such as tin, only more brittle in nature so a man or woman could with a kick of the foot, make a hole large enough to admit of people getting out. Some have suggested a door to slide on the roof, but as anyone can easily under- stand when a car is derailed and thrown on its side, every door frame is twisted and will not allow: the door to slide or open. Therefore, if the top of the coach was made of some com- position of metal so thin aud hrittle that by a blow from the knee or foot the man or woman could make. a passage out without trouble, all would be able to escape. As it is railroad coaches are only death traps--A. W. STEWART, Pastor Methodist church, Parham. ! . Leeds Farmer Hits Out, Mallorytown, Feb. 18.--(To the Edi- tor) : From time to time there have been several articles in the papers in regard to the good roads' move ment, and I, as a farmer, am eur prised to see that it is nweeting with tition Surely good roads not a enhance the value of farm pro- perty in the locality, but are far more economical to travel on then half crushed stone or mud six or eight inches deep. Besides, the old system of statute labor is a back number, My time, and that of every up-to-date farmer, is worth $2 per day on our own farms at the time statute la- bor is being done. 1 am of the opin- ion that any farmer who would kick against a movement of such great im- portance would lean on his shovel under a shade tree and expect the pathmaster to return him full time. Surely it is not a very good feeling to have an automobile party tell you that they have travelled all over the United States and that we have the | worst roads they have i. er seem | Really, T have tried to give eight full hows of faithful work at road mak- ing, and am sure .other farmers do the same as a rule, pnd why the far- mers are kicking is more than I can understand. I would like to have will hold up both for them explain. I see that there is to be a bi convention in Toronto in March, i movement, and hope thet the heads will 'adopt some road legisia- tion, and, together with what we al- in ood roads' movement.~D.
