AN ANOMALY.
To ilii' Editor. Sir,—l noticed lliat last week tli« irri'lircssiblc IJorougli C'uuik'H inspector had proceeded against an expressman for driving over a footpath at a plate where a proper crossing had not been provided. Said ease was to act as u -warning to expressmen and jtliers! I ask you to inform me if the footpath in Liardet street, between the. old power-house and the Weslcyan parsonage, has a boroughlicensed crossing? II not, why has not tlie borough inspector proceeded against his employers? If it is ,-\ crossing, why on earth has the inspector (and the Council) allowed it to remain in the state that it is? It is a disgraceful reflection upon the Borough Council that such a crossing should be allowed at almost their front doors (it is absolutely dangerous) while a man is brought to court for driving over a footpath, and does not :ommit anything like the offence that the borough itself does. The crossing and the footpath at the spot complained of are not only an eyesore, but a decided danger to life ami limb. Will the Council move?—lam, etc., iUARDET STREET.
