(1) The Park (of modern construction). This
is in much request, especially during the
summer time; but unfortunately there are
persons who wantonly and maliciously
damage it in spite of the Council's notices.
I hope the time is not far distant when the
offenders will be brought to Justice.
(2) Grove Street—this is of a very obsolete
type; but even if the Council chose to
improve this, I am afraid the owners of the
land adjoining would protest, as I believe
:hey would be pleased to see it removed
altogether. However, to remove this, would,
I am afraid, only make matters worse.
(3) Angel Road (six stalls).
(4) Lower Edmonton Railway Station (six
stalls).
These urinals are regularly inspected, and cleansed
twice a day during the week and once on Sundays.
I cannot refrain from repeating my sentiments of
last year, viz., that I hope the time is not far distant
when public conveniences will be in evidence on the
Green and at Angel Road for both sexes, especially
does this apply to the Green. The enormous numbers
of people who pass to and fro at these points require
some such accommodation.
