Democratic Sentinel, Volume 12, Number 6, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 March 1888 — A City Without Fountains. [ARTICLE]

A City Without Fountains.

London is a fountainless city. It is not for want of urging; we have before now pointed out that there are many nooks and corners in 1 ondon which would be almost beaut fied by the addition of a little water in an ornamental form. We have, of course, the Trafalgar Square s t uirts. We want something really beautiful and refreshing to the eye, not that miserable sort of thing which has given the nickname of “squirt square” to the space behind the town hall in Birmingham. Fountains can be made per se attractive by the mere arrangement of water.
