AVENAL’S PLAINT.
To the Eriitor. Sir, I wonder how much longer the I - Itient residents in A venal will have to wait iiinil our councillors see fit to cover in tint Park drain alongside the railway and, when that is dona, to block up the railway culvert. We have had a week of strong westerly weather and, with so much water lying all round the lower dwellings, it is a positive menace to health. Many pimple are of the- opinion that the erection of the prison hank would etui the trouble. This is not so. Ihe only remedy for floods in winter and obnoxious snicks in summer is to cover in the Park drain and stop the water coming through under the railway. I sincerely hope this most urgent work will be taken in hand at once. ■-1 tint, etc., A VENAL RESIDENT aL.y 27.
