THE STREET LAMPS.
To the Editor.
Sib, —May I ask who has charge of the street lighting department of this town? There are several lamps in a most lamentable state, and about as much good for the purpose for which they were placed there, as farthing dips. If it is justice to fine people for leaving obstructions on roads at night without sufficient light, it is high time to fine the somebody who has charge of the lamp-posts, as some of them are nothing but impediments, and it is only old residents who can steer so as to escape-collision with them on a dark night. If this epistolary effusion should meet'the eye of the somebody, he might by inwardly digesting the last four volumes of the 'Encyclopedia Britannica,' manage to tinker up the lamp at the corner of Queen and Park streets, as at present it is a pitiable spectacle " making darkness visible."—l am„ &c, ' Dernier Ressort. Dunedin, August 19. "
