CORRESPONDENCE.
STREET OBSTRUCTION. To the Editor of the 'Evening MxitX Sir— l have been inmost towns ia New ' Zealand, and never experienced so miich obstruction in the footpaths as in Nelson. I cannot determine whether it is in consequence of a lack of politeness oh the part of Nelson townspeople, or the* want of proper police vigilance. But certain it is that groups of men congregate upon the footpaths, and make not the faintest sign of politeness by ■' drawing on one side to alloy*/ ladies to pass but compel them either to push their way through the crowd, or leave the path entirely and take the main road. If there is any bylaw giving the police authority to compel such unmannerly groups to disperse or quit the thoroughfare, by exercising it they would confer a greafc beuefifc upon those who wish to use the paths otherwise than as places to hold outdoor meetings Apologising for trespassing on your valuable space, I am, &c., Common Politeness. Nelson, August 22, 1877.
