THAT MINIATURE LAKE.

Sir, —X direct your attention to a Aptter I brought under the notice of His "Worship the Mayor at his meetin glast night, viz., the shocking condition of a piece of Broadway opposite my business premises. I well know if resulted from a badly replaced gutter after the erection of a certain pole, and the effect has been to turn the water on to the roadway despite the daily efforts of the borough workmen to hold the water to its proper course with the inevitable empty sack. At first we had a lakelet, and eventually a bog extending some* distance along the edge of the road. This is a great danger. If the present statu is allowed to go, someone may get bogged, and all we shall have will be their memory. I trust it may not bo His Wor'ship, neither Mr King (chairman of the 'Works Committee). I would not suggest the road condition is the fault of either, hut surely after so much has been said lately from the public platform of road inspection and road supervision, some attention should be devoted to this area, as the longer this is neglected the more it will ultimately cost.—Yoxxrs, etc., A. H. HERBERT.
