KARORI STREETS
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—ln these days of city improvements it is surprising that in the suburb of Karori steep gradients at street junctions and unfinished channelling should remain in a street in which every section has been buift upon. Owing to the declivity from Vera street to Cooper street most motorists race through at great speed, crossing on the wrong side of the road when rounding the corner of Cooper street, swerving a few inches only from a deep drain —gully partly grass-grown—in Cooper street, making it practically a death-trap not only for themselves but for children also, and certainly to other pedestrians who may be usincr the road. The .open drain-gullies throughout nearly the whole of the street, from three to six feet deepj are both dangerous and a menace to health. It is time that the matter was again brought to the notice of the City Council, so that the present deplorable condition of Cooper street be improved by road levelling and tho open drains and gullies covered in. I am, etc., HOT-MIX MACADAM.
