Thoro has been a great deal of complaining in varions parts of the Borough of tho want of attention shown by tho Council to the requirements of tho ratepayers. Porhaps tho chief cumplaint is tho want of footpaths, but there are somo streets in tho Borough that aro not even formed,, notably Herbert-street, which is crossed by a water course, that in winter time rondera tho street impasaahlofor podestrians, Quito a number of sciiool children use this thoroughfare which is directly opposite the Public School and their only way of crossing this stream is by clambering along tlis wires of the fences bordering the road. A very slight outlay on the part of tlin Council would remove this cause of complaint and bring down the blessings of the parents of the children who are compelled to uso Herbert-street or make a long detour to got to school.
