THE SQUARE.
TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE STAR. Sir, — Your correspondent, " Inquisitive," is evidently not a " politician," I or he would know there are more fronts than one — both in municipal matters ancl general politics. Looking at the matter from an outsider's point of view, I should think the particular " front " on this occasion would be with the strongest councillor. For instance : If the councillor for, say, west- ward did not look out his constituents would get "Hastie" ; or, again the councillor for north-ward would get " Bastings " from his constituents if his front was not the correct way, and the councillor for east ward would " Cobbe it" if he did not get satisfaction for his constituents. The last man, representing the south, might exclaim with the Patriarches " Gocd-be-here," and go bald-headed for his ward. Of course, this is a serious question, but I could not pass " Inquisitive's " letter without a little levity, ancl hope you will excuse it • but the building could have a decent "front" on^four sides, ! with entrance doors, so that the building could be entered from any of the said streets. I am, <fee, M.M., Wellington.
