Board of Public Works :
We the undersigned residents of Crosshall
Street have been informed that the vacant lots llcated at the corner
of Crosshall and Maple Streets have been leased by a group of colored
people for the purpose of playing ball, light to be installed for
night playing.
We herewith beg your honorable body that permission be
denied this group for the following reasons;
First, these lots are bordered on both sides by gardens
The gardens would be ruined in retrieving balls.
Second; some of us work at night and the noise coming
from the diamond would prevent' sleep, day- and night.
Third; These lots are located one square from the new
Fairview school where there is ample playground for all.
Lastly; We are sure this program if carried out, would
become an intolerable nuisance; for the above reasons we beg your
cooperation.
Yours truly,
•
