STREET LIGHTING.

TO THE EDITOB. Sir, —It is often said that, an outsider sees the best of the game, so perhaps you will permit me, as a comparative stranger, to vent a grievance. I refer to the unlighted state of the streets in the Holensville Township. During the last 10 years I have teen in several country townships in the Auckland Province, and have lately cone from the neighbourhood of Kawakawa, one of the least pretentious of them; but even Kawakawa, to give it its due, has its street lamps. As a matter of fact, I have noticed at least two iamps in Helensville, but they seem to have been " born to blush unseen," for I have not yet seen one alight. Cannot the Town Board do something? There are several places where a lamp would be a-feoom, but I might mention ihe.jG-arfield Road—rNo. 8 Avenue erasing, and junction of No 1 Avenue and the Parakai Eoad.

"Men love darkness rather than light because their deeds aie. evil. " I'm afraid you Helensville people ( perhaps I had better say " we ", as I hope to be a resident of Helensville^ shortly—well, say, by ChristmasuV) must be rather a bad lot.; -i I Hoping this may have soni/B^£s£ (but fearing it won't).
