AVI 1 ILK AYE WAIT

(To the Editor). Sir —How much longer are the sliopheetiers of Revoll St. to wait to get the roadway ashplmltod. Last evening another costly window was broken j| r ,). .1. Breeze’s tobacconist •sI“T--through a loose stone, being thrown up bv a passing motor car. 1 here bate been, this last year or so. live shop windows broken in Revcll St. through the same cause. The loan money seems to he spent or liiis-spent m the baeU streets. * while Revcll St., Hokitika s business thoroughfare. is neglected. He loin' drawn out promise of an asphalted roadway is as far off as ever. A street sixty years old, should be kept m a better condition, and be a pride to the town, instead of being a matter ot reproach. Wo were told last Borough election to put in the progressive candidates and the people did so Now is their opportunity to show their progressive ability in having an asphalted road wav made out of the little hit that is left of the street improvement loan.
