Show VENICE NO MORE People who I wish to see Venice as poets and travelers have described it have no time to lose The city authorities hare decided to fill up the smaller canals and thus convert them into streets On the largerwater courses steamboats will take the place of gondolas A good deal of romance will thus be destroyed and many gondoliers be compelled to find new employment ITo doubt the change will be very distressing to the men thrown out of work and thd city loose much of its attractive strangeness strange-ness yet the proposed action has much to recommend it when looked at from a strictly utilitarian standpoint Cincinnati Qasette |
