MORE MUD.

To the Editor. Sir, —Could you inform me—l am not the only one who yearns for the information —why the powers that be cannot do something to the principal crossings in the township. The state of the crosisng at the town end of Sheridan street is in a deplorable state, also the crossing to the station entrance. Then again the crossing at the end of King street is in a somewhat similar condition. It is not for an outsider to dictate how this matter is to be remedied, but surely something can be done. At the present time, and during the present season, it is hard indeed for people to keep dry-shod and ladies particularly suffer from negotiating these seas of mud. Rumour hath it that a townsman recently invested in a mud-scraper and another energetic and publicspirited townsman used that scraper with sucH good effect that the crossing at the business end of Sheridan street was negotiable, with some degree of comfort, for at least an hour. Can this be true and can it be posisble that in this thriving borough residents have to come to the rescue in matters of this kind? Trusting that I have not imposed too much upon your space in bringing this matter forward. Should it have the effect of having something done to these particularly muddy places the writer will feel that the publicity you have given this letter has done something for his suffering townsmen—not forgetting himself.—l am etc. A RESIDENT.
