An

to
co-operate
in
the
protec
tion
of
citv1
property
from
age
in
order1
that
the
most
be
made
of

facilities,
such
as
playgrounds,
at
a
time
when
it
is
exceedingly
difficult
to
keep
them
fittingly
main
tained
is
contained
m
a
letter
irom
Mayor
h.
m.
JJag-
eett
to
the
Dally
News.
"We
de-
sire
to
provide
proper
recreational
facilities
for
the
youth
of
the
city,"
says
one
part
of
the
letter,
but,
if
the
public
will
not
co-operate
In
the
care
of
of
the
facilities
provided,
it
would
seem
to
be
a
waste
of
public
monies
to
provide
them."
The
mayor
explains
the
difficulty
that
has
been
encpunter-ed
in
obtaining
labor
to
carry
out
work
which
has
been
promised
and
for
which
money
has
been
voted.
The
letter
follows:
I
would
like
to
point
out
for
the
benefit
of
your
readers
certain
facts
in
connection
with
conditions
h-our.
City.
We
Tiave,
as
you
know,
a
Parks
Committee
to
advise
and
suggest
Improvements
to
our
existing
parks.
As
a
result
of
certain
recommendations
made
by
this
committee,
the
sum
of
$2CC0
was
placed
in
the
estimates
for
tills
year.
It
was
In-,
tended
that
the
expenditure
of
this
money
was
to
be
under
the
Board
of
Works
and
the
employment
of
two
men
for
four
or
five
months
was
authorized.
These
men
were
to
be
employed
at
McClymont
Park
in
clearing'
and
improving
the
grounds
as
part
of
a
definite
plan
for
the
future.
Every
effort
has
been
made
to
secure
men
for
this
purpose
and
so
far
unsuccessfully.
Early
this
year
the
Parks
Committee
and
the
representatives
of
the
Gyro
Club'
met
it
was
mutually
agreed
that
the
Gyro
Club
would
provide
supervision
for
all
Parks
and
erect
all
equipment
with
the
exception
of
McClymont
Park
where
the
equipment
would
be
Installed
by
the
Cityj
As
a
result
of
this
agreement
certain
work
was
done
by
the
City
on
the
other
playgrounds
In
the
City
with
the
understanding
that
any
other
expenses
on
playgrounds
or
parks
deemed
necessary
would
be
carried
out
by
the
Gyro
Club
with
the
exception,
as"
I
have
already
stated,
of
McClymont
Park.
Since
.that
time
the
Prince
Rupert
Recreational
Council
has
assumed,
the
obligations
of
the
Gyro
Club.
I
would
like
to
draw
your
at
tention
also
to
the
fact
that
a
great
deal
of
work
has
been
done
on
the
grounds
at
the
corner
of
Sixth
Ayenue
and
McBride
Street
by
the
help
of
the
armed
services
and
under
the
efficient
supervision
of
E.
Selyan
of
the
YMCA
and
"W.
D.
.Lambie
of
the
Gyro
Club
to
whom
a
great
deal
of
credit
Is
due
for
the
Improvements
effected.
Criticism
Is
and
may
be
dir
ected
at
the
city
council
for
certain
conditions
existing
at
some
of
our
parks
(particularly
McClymont
Park).
For
the
benefit
of
your
readers,
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
the
buildings
there
have
been
regularly
cleaned
and
washed
out
but
that,
within
a
very
few
hours,
the
buildings
are
again
in
a
deplorable
condition
with
filth
and
refuse.
I
solicit
the
co-operation
of
the
citizens
generally
to
do
all
that
they
can
to
support
us
In
seelrrg
that
these
conditions
are
done
away
with
and
that
the
public
show
proper
consideration
of
the
facilities
provided,
and
keep
the
playgrounds
clean
and
tidy
as
well,
Doors
are
now
being
placed
on
these
buildings
and
they
will
needless
and
wilful
dam
be
only
open
while
the
supervisor
of
the
Park
Is
on
duty.
As
an
example
of
the
lack
of
co-operation
of
certain
sections
of
our
citizens
I
would
draw
attention
to
the
fact
that
al
ready
at
Sixth
Avenue
and
Mfc
Bride
Street
the
railing
has
been
broken
in
several
places
and
posts
broken
off.
We
desire
to
provide
proper
recreational
facilities
for
the
youth
of
the
city
but,
if
the
pub
lic
will
not
co-operate
In
the
care
of
the
facilities
provided;
it
would
seem
to
be
a
-waste
of
public
monies
to
provide
them.
Thefe
Is
one
thing
further
I
wish
tb-refer
to
and
that
is
the
Cemetery.
This,
we
all
admit,
iJ'a
Hlsgracdf
but
In
regard
'to
thU
also,
it
Is
due
to
labor
shortage.
We
have
$3000
set
aside
for
work
there
but
nothing"!
can
be
done
on
this
until
labor
is
available.
Now,
Mr.
Editor,
I
thank
you
for
your
co-operation
in
publishing
this
letter
and
trust
that
the
public
will
co-operate
and
report
to
the
proper
authorities
any
person
or
persons
damaging
or
defacing
City
property
which,
after
all,
Is
their
property.
