WELLINGTON.
TO THE EDIICR.
Sir, —In your issue of to-day tho Mayor of Wellington remarks modestly • that he considers the Empiro City baa the best municipality in New Zealand.' Well, after a run around the* dominion for the last three months and a fortnight spent in each city I have come to the conclusion, it has the worst. ■ The quantity of dilapidated buildings = in the main streets and private tenements I thought >a disgrace. Welling-, ton has the dearest tram fares'(fancy extra charge for riding on Sundays) and narrow built and awkward .oars. It has no beauty spots or tempting places to pass a. few weary hours in, although they say 'they have a Beautifying Committee and money collected in tho city. Also there are the-rub-bish and dust you invariably see littering the streets. I fail to see where the lovely municipality in< Nature fortunately stops in nnd doej most of tho scavenging.—l am, etc., *AN AUSTRALIAN VISITOR.
