PUNT ACROSS THE ARNOLD.
(To the Editor ofthe y Grey River. Argus.) Sir— A short t ; me ago there were tenders called for erecting wire-rope punts across the Arnold. I offered to let people cross tho bridge and erect the punts and charge one shilling to each passenger for both crossing places. The Warden, Mi" Lightbarid, has thought proper' to give another man : the right of forming the punts, with permission to charge one*** sliilling for the punts, alone. Now, as all . persons will, by this act haye 1 : to j>ay,p'rie sliilling and sixpence instead of one-'Shii-ling^l think it a heavier tax on tlieiiiiners than should be bomej hence a pxiblic injustice has been done, and; I thought^t would let the poople knW' of it, sotliat such acts niay not again be/perniitted, \ ' lamj &C, •-.-:-!,; * . • .
