iVe do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by our correspondents. To the Editor

Sib, —Taking a stroll along the bank of . our beautiful river, I was astonished to find that someone had ploughed or rooted tip what has always been in the summer time one of the nicest places for picnic parties on the river bank, that portion nearly opposite Mf Stanley’s. We used to hear of the Borough Council opening up a path along the bank of the river but I was very much i diwapointed to find that it is now turned into a ploughed paddock. Now, Sir, who is responsible for the ploughing, or is it a start to form that footpath ? I was always under the impression that we had a chain of reserve along the river, | but some visitors during the last week were making, apparently, for their previous haunt and came to the locked gate and barbed wire fence, which is to ladies, an insurmountable barrier. Now, Sir, if the Borough Council or auy other body has any authority they should see that the fence is either removed or a proper wicket gate put on, and whoever rooted up the splendid grass be made to lay it down lii a proper manner at once. Hoping that something will be done at once. I am, etc., Pbo Bono Publico.
