Woop, Ningpo Road—Chip-paving.—Thefollowing correspondence is ordered to be pub: lished Ningpo Road, Shanghai, 8th July, 1896.
Sim,—I beg respectfully to bring to the notice of the Municipal Council the great inconvenience and discomfort which some of the residents of Ningpo Road are subject to because of the rough condition of the carriage way. It sometimes happens in this house, for example, that when the Municipal dust cart or other hi description of vehicle passes along the road, vases and other ornaments are shaken down on to the floor. 1 would suggest that the Council might with advantage substitute the ordinary macao mised. read for the rough cobble stones which now form the carriage way. Hoping that something of this sort will soon be done, Iremain, Yours faithfully,
