PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS
(To the Editor.) Sir,—Tn tonight’s paper there are reported observations by our Mayor, Mr T. Jordan, on the letter received by the Masterton Borough Council from the Central School Committee, asking “that favourable consideration be given, to the question of a pedestrian crossing between the school and the service station.”
Mr Jordan admonishes a Mr Stringer for daring to express his views, which views are also held by a large section of this community. In my humble opinion, crossings are also required at the Jackson Street, Perry Street, and the Post Office corners.
Who Mr Stringer is I do not know, but would infer from the Mayor’s remarks that he is a visitor to Masterton and being so should keep quiet. Surely the time has not come when anyone, not being a resident of the district, is to be called impertinent if they express views which they believe to be for the welfare of the town.
The application, coming as it did from the committee of the Central School, should not, in my opinion, have been so lightly treated. —Yours, etc.,
“MOTORIST & RATEPAYER.” Masterton, May 17.
