LOOK OUT FOR THE BUMP!

(To the editor, “Stratford Post.”) Sir, —Notwithstanding that a loan looms largo before the ratepayers of Stratford, the question might reasonably be asked why Broadway—and Broadway South, too, for that matter —should bo allowed to bo in such a disgraceful condition for traffic. Whereever there is a fire plug on the road, states a keen observer of the ups and downs of traffic on our favourite and much-prized highway, a bugbear to drivers of all kinds of traffic rears its head, and several solid bumps of two to three inches at a time are invariably experienced on tlio run every time a through journey is made. It will be months before anything can be done in these'matters if the money has to bo waited for out of the loan, and the Council might well see to them at once before any serious accident happens, when, of course, a substantial sum will have to be paid for allowing obstructions such as have been mentioned to remain. At any rate, why should the people of Stratford —who, after all, are the only ones who matter—bo content to risk their necks in negotiating obstacles that any old I collection of councillors representing j the Borough won’t take the trouble to attend to.—l am, etc., BADLY BUMPED, j Stratford, February 20th.
