WHERE THE DUST COMES FROM.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW ZEALAND TIMES. Sir,—May I take the liberty of suggesting to the City Council tho necessity of paying more attention to tho footpaths in our main streets. In many places, notably Willis and Manners streets, tho side walks are a disgrace and very little better than they ■ were ten years ago. It seems a farce attempting to keep down the ‘dust by waterlog the roads while most of the nuisance comes from large patches of coarse gravel on the paths, which is driven about by every puff of wind, much to tho discomfort of every one, spoiling the goods of Shopkeepers, greatly interfering with business, and getting the place a bad name. lam sure if we had proper and well kept paths, and two or three more water-carts, Wellington would be a perfect paradise compared with what it id at present. If tho City Council will see to this before the summer is over, they will earn the thanks of a largo section of the community as well as those of one who is .A Great Sufferer.
