WHAT’S IN A NAME?

To the Editor. Can you inform me why Messrs CarcilL Oibbs, and Co. are allowed to block up all’ the footpath opposite their store in Prmces street south for nearly the whole day, to the intense annoyance of foot passengers, more especially ladies ? It is no uncommon thine for some thirty or forty persons to have to walk through the mud at this point, and step half way across the road before regaining the path. I should not mention thw matter had I not been requested to do y. nu jp er «us regular passengers alone his line of route, and also because there is no occasion for the blockage, as a line of hniiA aB bee ?, l f L d down alongside the warehouse to avoid the stoppage of foot traffic. ?^i°^ e * Unf^ rt J u H ate storekeeper or general dealer obstructed the footpath with a p|

butter or a bag of potatoes, no doubt he Would fee summoned in due course by the lynx-eyed officer appointed for that purpose; bub these people are iu the big lire, so they are let off free. There must be something in a name. Perhaps Mr Oou cillo? Fish, or some other representative o ; South Ward, will see to this matter, ».a it is a source of gn,at annoyance to foot passengers, more especially in dirty weather.— I am, &c., Sauce fob Goose and Gander.
