54 Mill St EActon 8532520 Wednesday Saturday Milton III Main St S7SM73 J Dear Sir I am writing to express concern over the use of the cemetery as a playground not only by children but by adults as well On two consecutive visits to my fathers grave boys were running across the graves On Saturday morning a woman was traipsing over the graves in search of a golf ball She even had the nerve lo move some wreaths see If her ball was behind them Have these people no respect for the dead Perhaps one could make excuses for the children but what excuse can one make for an adult who should be setting an example for the children I also noticed that some artificial flowers on one wreath had been pulled off and strewn around These wreaths are put on by loved ones of the deceased and they must think It disgusting to find them destroyed Im sure people could find better places to play and practice golf than a cemetery Let let the dead rest In peace Close park track to traffic dispense with entry

Prospect Park this summer However the Inside gate at the race track will be closed and cars will have to park In the community centre parking lot Parks Board voted recently to dispense with the charge after it had been decided that the Inside gate would be closed and cars would not be allowed to travel to the extreme west end of the pork Councillor Chapman and board member Ed Wood opposed the verbal motion to dispense with the entrance charge Needed loo Im against this because we had already allowed for it In the budget There should have been a social decision made before the budget struck Councillor Chapman explained Parks manager Harold pointed out that former parks board member Ted Tyler Jr had once proposed that the park be made for people not curs and that more trees be planted at the west end where the parking lot for is now located Expresses concern Although he voted In favor of the no charge motion claiming the park belongs to the taxpayers of the town board member Lou
