It is about as loveless a place as one would find now. The Fourth Street
Elevator company, a base, heartless corporation, with soul attuned only
to the jingle of the almighty dollar, has begun the dastardly work of
putting up a hog-tight fence at each end and the place will now be given
over to the propagation of Russian thistles and things. With Rhomberg’s
Park closed this announcement is the nature of a swipe below the belt. (2)
