To the Editor of the "Nonra-Cursa Dany News."
Sm,—Few fair-minded residents among us will deny that our comfort here is mater:
lly ministered to by the general excellency of the state of the roads in the settlement. Such excellence can, however, be maintained only by con stant repairs, and such repairs necessitate closing up a great portion of the already narrow thoroughfares which our forefathers, inf their modesty, saw fit to bequeath us. May I submit, howerer, that instead of railing atjtheir short-sightedness, or blaming the Municipal Council for the inevitable obstruction, it would be more rational to suggest some method of minimising the in-ug, instead of proposing Utopian schemes necessitating a comhination of the Rod of Moses with the Golden Sands of Pactolus.
May I suggest that if all the ordinary Toad Tepairs were executed at night, between the hours of 10 p.w.and 6 a.m., we might then be spared the edifying sight of a narrow thoroughfare like the Brondway opposite Ewo Wharf half blocked, whilst coolies adjourn for refreshment from 12 to 1, the busiest time, or straggle about, all across the road, dragging a small iron roller. There is no foreigner in attendance on this sort of repair and certainly the Municipal electric light might be credited with sufficient illuminating power to enable coolies to see to roll a road or aren to steer a steam roller.
Even should this innovation involve convenience occasionally, by necessitate ing the presence of some Municipal employee, the roxaltant advantages to the Public would be so immense that the Council could probably arrange to overcome sny difficulty arising from that source. Iam, ete., Viator. "18th March, "Wor Curr, Mage?" may be a rough form of salutation, but the kindliness of its intention cannot be questioned; therefore it may not be out of place to adopt it here.
