A PUBLIC POUND.

To the Editor. Sir,—Now that we have a properly constituted borough and council, I would like to point out to those in authority the urgent necessity for the appointment of a poundkeeper. It is no uncommon sight to see a score of stray animals wandering along the side walks with the result that already pedestrians are very much inconvenienced by having to walk along the roads which but for these cattle would at least be a little more passable. This is not the only growl I have to make against] these trespassers. Last Sunday a dozen animals wandered past my section, and not being content to take the road, the leader broke through my fence into the paddock, and had I not been on the spot, I venture to say the herd would have followed. What make-! it particularly annoying is that I had all my fences put in thorough repair the previous week. But these beasts are neither respectors of persons nor places. Amongst the cattle wandering is a bull. Cows and heifers are bad enough, but an animal of this kind is a source of positive danger. I trust the powers that be will not delay in making this necessary appointment, and give us a chance to keep the sidewalks to ourselves.—l am, etc., SUBURBAN,
