LET1LEIB, TO THE EDIIQR Dear Sir, Please publish this open letter to City Council. Let me be a voice from the past in a time when "new is automatically equated with "good". Let me ques- tion the carelessness with which your planners are threatening the older and more beautiful streets of the city of Waterloo. especially Albert Street. At four years. the old houses were filled with dark comers that spoke of fa’ale witches and the tr were perfect for climbing. At fourteen. the houses had secret comers for Clubhouses and the trees made discreet shadows for stolen kisses, Today. at twenty-four years, the houses hold spe- cial memories to be enjoyed during snowy walks, Will there still be trees and magic houses for my kids when.

If it happened to be raining or ex- tremely cold when she was walking back to her Euclid Street home she used to stop at her grandmother's, because as she re- calls there weren't many buildings around from which she could receive shelter. "There used to be a vineyard," Mrs. Riepert said, "down towards where Erb Street is now. There was a celler under- neath this which was built right onto the house." used their home as a hotel, providing ac- commodation and food for travellers going through Waterloo. She has vague recollec- tions of a vineyard on the property next to the house. CARPETS BY FLOORINGLTD OKRAUS PHONE 884-2900 0 CruihWtLE, (Opp. Louisa) Respectfully.
