Description

a- This is a letter to the Editor. It is a single sided typed page. The letter is regarding the history of the boulevards in Kingston. It argues that boulevards were added relatively recently to Kingston, and while nice, are not essential for moving traffic. They should be removed for the sake of better traffic flow, since the demands of horse and buggy traffic are different to the demands of motor traffic. The letter is dated September 22nd, 1952. The final line has been struck out by pen.
b- This is a newspaper clipping of the letter as published on September 24, 1952. It is titled "HISTORY OF BOULEVARDS / IN KINGSTON". There is a pen date that reads "24-9-52" on the header.
