A DUNGANVILLE GROWL.

{To the Editor.)

Sib,—Please give mo space in your valuable paper to make a few brief complaints about the way the County Council work is done. This last waek two old men, both over seventy years of age, have been working on the road. Just fancy an old man not powerful enough to throw the debris from one side of the road to the other, but has to put it in a barrow and wheel it across, when there are able bodied men that would bo glad of a day’s work. These comparatively young men will have to meekly wait till they “become of age." At present there is a street being gravelled by two men with horses. Now, I think work like that should bo done by tender, as there is more than one man with a horse and dray. Ihe Italian track is in a very bad state and no word, so far to my knowledge, of getting it repaired, ‘if there was any chance of a dredge being erected out there, the road most likely would soon bo seen to. I am,—

A Cripple,

[Wo fail to see that being old should prevent a man from getting work. Certainly young men are better fitted for lookmg up work for themselves.— Ed., E. S.]
