A RATEPAYER'S GROWL.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.)

Sic, —I think the time has come for the ratepayers $0 be up and at the Borough Council. They want the foreshore and publicans' licensei. They have done a great deal in providing for the comfort of themselves and their officers, I think the people surely will come next. I say look at the foot of Upper Albert-street and its crossing, and the footpath by the Crown Prince. Do the Borough Councillors show any regard for the public ? By the way, is the door of the engine-house of the Crown Prince in accordance with the nine hundred and ninetieth clause 'of our great Councillors. I say let them look at the break-neck arrangement next to Mr. Lymburn's, in Albert-street, and follow along the ; footpath you find a narrow three-feet path and another breakneck affair. I once saw a lady with her infant in her arms take a very nice tumble over that drain. \Now, I «ay, that, if the lady had killed the child it would not be an accident. Then let them look at the foot; path beyond Mr. Cook's residence in Pollen-street. If the Borough gentlemen would spend a little more money in footpaths for thel people it would show a little more sense, and the tradespeople in Grahamstown would be the better for it.

Obsebveb.

P.S.—I see by your report of the Borough Council Mr. Graham offered, free, to plant. I would suggest two weeping willows be got and planted at the toll-house, Grahamstown Wharf.
