CORRESPONDENCE.

[Our correspondents' opinions nro their own; tlio responsibilitj of editorial ones makes sufficient ballast for the editor's -sly* lders.] TYXK STREET TROUBLES. To tlio Editor. Sir,--My attention has been directed to a paragraph re a fence on Tyne .street, in to-day's issue. As no name is given of the correspondent, I an unable to combat his remarks, as I am very disinterested. At the outset .1 havif a grievance, ft was my intention to send my dry cows to the Levin long padd*>cks, as I heard that it was possible to dodge the ranger ten months in the year, also to iliave the free use for three hours every Sunday morning of tilie said Tyne street f-or grazing purposes. Under the circumstances, fencing included, I have a grievance. The council have narrowed the fencing area of the Tyne street paddock by starting to orect a fence. The present holder of the free'tenure, wiho was improving his strain of Cardigan Jerseys for mountain pastures, is now debarred. 'If he had only been allowed a longer pei'iod of up and down the embankment for this stock, the water ■pipe would 'have been easy of inspection. ft is hard to please some people, who evidently don't appreciate progress. I understand there are also residents in Levin, in Cambridge street particularly, who personally object to bumping against tihe Jerseys on the footpath and perhaps they would object to those ol us who were ibrought up in a cowynrd for an environment. "Under snob stress of circumstances as aforesaid, T must refrain .from my lilrst intention 'tiill su'eli o'bjedtors i.hange their minds and cleanly !habits. So, sir, in the mentime, f am off the grazing, but I am open ;for a job of fencing (soft digging), same as in Tyne street west. Please keep me in Anew for a vacancy on the bdrough staff.—Yours, etc.,
