DAYLIGHT SAVING BILL.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sir,'—Even in writing on Hie above subject Mr De .Spong does not fail to get in bis periodical grumble about faulty street lights, if this versatile writer would only do bis duty as a citizen iic would have no cause lor complaint. Repeatedly, by advertisement iu the daily Press and on the lighting accounts, citizens are asKcd to notify the‘electrical department of any barnt-out lights which como under their notice. Recently all the light posts have been numbered so as to facilitate the work of replacing lights. Perhaps Mr De Spong expects the City Council to maintain a staff of men to patrol the streets every night and keep a watchful eye on the 3,000 lights which help to make Dunedin the best-lit city in the dominion.

Hoping that these, remarks will throw a little light on the course which Mr Do Spong should pursue in the future if he wants the darkness of his pathway dispelled,—l am, etc.,
