TOO MUCH MUD.

To the Editor, Sir, — Will you kindly allow me a small place in the columns of your journal to draw the attention of the Town Council to th® disgraceful state of Castle street, more especially that portion adjoining St, Andrew street. We cannot go outside our own doors, especially after a shower of rain, without getting over the boot-tops in mud, notwithstanding promises made by the Council a few weeks ago to the effect that the footpaths were to be made in a few days. But suoh promises do not appear to have any fr c a on an y one , present, and we are still left floundering in the mud. I pay heavy rates, and I know several parties whose lodgers have left them, solely owing to the disgraceful state of the street, thereby causing a severe pecuniary loss, which in my i® quite sufficient to entitle, us to a decent path to walk uppu, in place of thp dirty quagmire that now exists, turning everyone into an amateur mudlark wjio haß the misfortune to be compelled to wad® through it. . • ■ I enclose my card, and am, &0., * Voice from the Dismal Swamp. Castle street, £prjll4.
