Sir, - The Farmleigh Folly is in a fearful ferment, the Time in the Slime is out of the water, the Spike in the Sky has crashed from on high. All that's left for the Corpo is a Door for the Poor.

The citizens of the city and state aren't likely to wince if millions are poured into bricks and mortar to house humans instead of needless novelties to amuse tourists and confuse residents. So, city fathers (and mothers), take a leaf out of Nehemiah's book. "Rise and build" - the plain people of Ireland will back you to the hilt. - Yours, etc., Robert Dunlop,
