STREETS OUT OF REPAIR.

Sir,'—Will you give the City Fathers a reminder that all work does not lie in the-Town Hall, but a certain amount re l quires to-be done on our streets? In parts, they aTe disgraceful, and tho complaint is of long standing. A bad . part exists between Messrs. Jackson and Turnbull, Hickson, and Gooder, Lower Cuba Street, and also two very bad holes between Mr. H. 0. Hewitt's shop and the Columbia Private Hotel. They have existed about seven weeks. Another very dangerous cross-trench is at the corner of Brandon and Fcatherston Streets. I think our City .Councillors should' have to drive over these and other places; ■ for instance, a newly-metalled piece of road is in a very bad state. It is one of those places', tho inspector of cruelty to horses ought' to inspect, but not to punish tho driver, but to step all loaded vehicles going that way until the hills have been filled into the hollows. This is between Taranoki Street and .Lower Cuba Street. I think tho first cost'would be. the cheapest; that is, to block from Jorvois Quay to Cuba and Taranaki Streets.—l am", etc., ONE OF THE UNFORTUNATES.
