Borough Affairs.
TO THB EDITOR OF THB STAB. Sib, — Just a word in reply to "Rail* . way," in your last issue. He thinks the petition of the residents along the rail* - way line for their road to be made out of the first instalment of the loan is premature, if not in bad taste. He also say» that other residents along the line are in a much worse condition for want of a road than those first referred to. I think that on reflection he will scarcely insist on affirming this. They may be as badly off, but what conld be worse than being entirely isolated, and being compelled to use the Railway line, which is against the law, in order to get even to the Borough Office to pay our rates, and vote for money to make onr road P I hope the School authorities won't enforce tbe compulsory clause till our road is made, because if they do onr children too will be under the absolute necessity of breaking one law or the other. They must either stay at home, or use the line, in order to get to school, and the piper would have to be paid by the residents of Railway No 2.
