THE DANGERS OF JOLIE STREET.
To the Editor. Sib, —I shall feel favored if you will allow me, through the medium of your paper, to call the attention of the officials to the dangerous state of Jolie street at night, as a light is so placed that a person coming from one direction gets no warning until he is in the midst of danger, the light being screened by a heap of metal, any amount of which is thrown about anyhow —large boulders here and there—'as stumbling-blocks to passengers. One would imagine that the responsible parties would place a light at each end, so as to prevent any further accident such as happened to myself, when both man and horse came down. Had the accident been more serious, I should most undoubtedly have made some one suffer in pocket for this gross piece of negligence in not supplying proper lights,—Yours, etc., A SHEARER.
