CORRESPONDENCE.
To tiik Editor of the 'Evening Mail.'
Sir — The " Common Sense " of your correspondent, which appears in last night's issue, must be of a very high order indeed to see how " the interests of the community " have been consulted in the following clauses of bye-law No. 109, which provides that we must not l( Expose for sale auy article whatever outside of any shop window or doorway," or " hang upon or from any portico, verandah, or awning, or the supports thereof, auy goods, wares, or merchandise or any blind or lamp, except such blinds or lamps as shall be allowed by the Council." Neither could we with "Rip Van Winkle" ami " S. M. W." see the "fair and reasonable spirit" in which the Council attempted to euforce these law 3 when we were informed by the police on Saturday last that, our blinds, which are put up to protect our goods from the sun, and also a lamp erected underneath our verandah for the convenience of the public were to be removed at once. — We are, &c, T. S. Wymond & Co. Neisen, May 22.
