WANTED-BYE-LAWS.

[To the Editor.] Fir,—.As a visitor to Te Aroha lam somewhat new to your ways. I cannot help noticing how differently things are managed in the various places one visits. Never before have I seen the electric light poles-the property of the corporation—used for advertising purposes by private persons. Nor yet have I known business people' allowed to so block up footpaths, already quite narrow enough, with merchandise, as here. Many of these shopkeepers must have quite a large proportion of their stock exhibited on the pavement, and I think they should pay rent for the space they occupy Then, again, from the way the coach proprietors and blacksmiths also make use of the public roads in a similar way, to store their conveyances and exhibit their wares, it seems to me that there is something wrong with the borough’s bye-laws. Apologising for trespassing on your valuable space.—l am, etc., Visitor.
