STABLES IN MAIN STREET.

Sir, —Will you kindly allow me a little space in your columns to reply ta a fetter in -yesterday's papett} signed by "Progress," re Stables in iMain Street. "Progress" evidently wishes to be progressive himself, and does not want any one else to be so. I myself am trying to progress and be up-to-date, even to having stables built on my premises at the back of my shop, (not in the front in the Main Street), -where I can keep an eye on them to gee that"'they are kept clean and not a menace to public health. Has "Progress" ever noticed that unsightly wooden fence round a section opposite the Band Rotunda? That is. I am sorry to say, where my stables are at present, and no doubt, "Progress" will agree with me, that it would be much .more progressive for our town to have that done away with, and block of architectural -bui} ;pnt up there, to adorn our "Main Thoroughfare." Our .Public,- Mr. Swindell's most deGidelvpUpderstands his business and does the "Borough Council or any, common tradesman to tell him that he is put here to study the health of'the public,' and'to' See that stables and other ■' places .are"' kept sanitary. I ;; am"glad "Progress" thinks Councillor''Wrightson' such- d competent man, for:.we can. all-'rest- assured that my-new stables will'be-built: quite up-to-date, and .not ;a disfigurement "t& our Main I am etc., ; :! -,<•';. -GEORGE -PARKER.
