Untidy City Streets
Sir,—l wish to endorse the remarks of Captain S. Holm, president of the ■Wellington Beautifying Society, regarding the untidy condition of most of ’Wellington’s streets, specially Courtenay Place and its environs. I believe it is not so much the fault of the,City Council, as the gross carelessness of many people and children who deliberately drop papers, tobacco tins, banana skins, etc., indiscriminate ly, and very rarely use the few recep taeles placed by the city council fm such refuse. A receptacle on ever tram for tickets, and ticket butts (ofte thrown out of the window by thguards) would help keep the street clean. Also instruction in the school on this matter would greatly assist, and be an example to older folk. ■With the Centennial so close at hand it. behoves the citizens to take an interest in their city, and prevent the streets being made a dumping ground for rubbish. —I am, etc., CIVIC PRIDE. ■Wellington, March 13.
