THE TOWN BELT.
To the Editor. SIR,—It is pleasing to see that the citizens will not permit the town belt to be used for any other purpose than that for which it was granted, Rad 1 think that the deputation which waited on the Mayor yesterday, might also, as a matter of principle, have protested against the exclusive use by any person of any portion of the belt. As Mr M‘Neill said the cHzens claim it as a right to pass through and over tie reserve whenever they like, yet it must b * known to some of the deputation, as well as to the Corporation, that parts of the belt are fenced in and c by persons. I can mem ion two portions, viz., a pare just through the Roslvn toll bar, which is sown down with oats, and a part just opposite the top of Rattray street, which i» fenced in two paddocks, and has a stable, &c, erected thereon. If I mistake not a ponion of a public street is fenced in with the last proproperty. It might be as well for the members of the deputation, when they are in the humor, to inquire into thtse matters as well.— lam, &c., Growler, Dunedin, January 7.
