STREETS FIRST.
It Mas rather farcical for the City Council to ask the ratepayers to sanction borrowing for baths at Point Chevalier. In this street of ours we have a ready-made hath every time it rains, but the water certainly would require filtering. If the people's comfort were considered first so that we could have a clean footpath to walk on in our streets the baths could wait. The rates in these working class streets are greater in proportion than the business man's residential area, and we have petitioned for this street to be put in order for years now. There are over forty houses in tliis street, and the rates have gone up every year. Close by here a street, with only three houses. ha> been made into quite a decent thoroughfare. Surely we are entitled to the same consideration. STREET COMFORT FIRST.
