NOXIOUS WEEDS

(To the Editor.) Sir.—Tourists in fact all visitors to our little township, invariably stroll j down to the wharf some time 'during their stay. From this point they get | a clear uninterrupted view of the whole I range of our incomparable mountain scenqry, our grand Southern Alps. Peak arfter peak, tier after tier, as lar as the eye can reach, a dazzling pano-

rama of pure bright minarets of snow towering to tho sky, culminating in tlu far south at a brilliant terminus, where Cook, Tasman j Elie de Beaumond, and other mighty peaks “pinnacle in clouds their TSYiowy scalps. Turning homeward, deeply impressed with tho solemn majesty of the scene they are leaving, our visitors immediately strike another, and most picturesque view, in the shape of a beastly patch of blackberry bush, that abutting on 11 evell street trails its hideous course some chain or two towards the beach adorning the side of that liki a fringe on a pretty coat, hut as a frilling this unsightly scrub is ueitlm chic nor useful. In promoting th growth and spread of this noxious pcs our somewhat somnolent powers that b are guilty of a grave breach of the com mon law, and it is about up to som official to make them toe the mark am pay the penalty due to their ineptitude or culpable negligence, either term will fit. It is to he hoped, Sir, that a decent footpath will soon replace this pernicious and dangerous nuisance.-- I am, etc.,— CONTRAST.
