•Ye do not ho'd ourselves responsible fot the opinions expressed by our correspondents.

[To the Editor.] Sib, —On looking over “ Ratepayer’s ’* letter, which appeared on Saturday last, I cannot see how the “few new coun cillors elected ” that he mentions, can make much difference in our streets more than the previous Council did. As *°f the streets being a disgrace, I think that is strong language to use m^ h * 8 , co ““£°' tion, as the old Council has had to suffer for the neglect of previous councils, and made a good show m the last twelve months especially on the footpaths, whnh are beginning to look neat and correspondent says the Bridgestreet site might suit the non-paying electors best for the traffic bridge, but i if he thinks again he will know that there are many of the ratepayers who are very strongly in favour of the other site, at Kenrick-street. It has been stated that the Government will m the end very likely bear half the cost of the bridge, and if there is any possibility of this, why is " Ratepayer” not game to throw in his lot with the site that his re presentatives have chosen. As for taking a vote of ratepayers to decide the bridge site, it is tooMate mow as the question has been decided, but U a poll was taken of the Borough and County I think ‘' Ratepayer s hair would curl when he saw how few votes were for Bridge-street. —I am, etc , Settled.
