THE BUILDING REGULATIONS.
To the Editor. Sir, —The members' of the City Council of Dunedin have of late done many funny things which the ordinary sort of people cannot understand. The latest thing in this direction is to allow a firm in town, who are engaged in altering their premises, to occupy about 40ft. x 16ft. of the public street as a shop for the carrying on of their business. I think every facility ought to be given to persons desirous of building to use the street for laying down building material; but this is the first time I have known a Corporation give permission to use the street as a warehouse. The precedent is a most dangerous one to establish, as I cannot see bow the Council can in future refuse any application of a similar nature ; and if the practice is to become common, the evil of it is so apparent as to need no comment.—l am, 4 c., Citizen. Dunedin, February 25.
