CEMETERY ROAD.

To the Editor

Sir, —I trust that, in the interests of truth, you will insert the following remarks on the sub leader on new Cemetery road which appeared in your last issue :—lt is well known that all newly-made roads slip, and after the fearful weather we have had for the last three weeks, with slips on old nnd new roads in all directions, it would have bepn strange if a newly made road like the above should escape. I have had a report on it since your last issue, and find the damage done to be trifling—to tha extent of £1 or 30s at the outside. With regard to the respective grades of old and new roads, both leading to the same spot and about the same length, the hill portion of the old road has a

The Rev, Incumbent, when inspecting it with, me remarked that he could walk op tho new road wi>h ease, whi'e on the other road he was glad of his horsp. The take off angle is unavoidable, but as the metal drays with two horses can turn with ease, there can be no difficulty with the one horse used at funerals. With regard to the Baths fpneo, what use a 6 feet fence at the bottom of a nearly vertical 30ft bank can be for security and privacy has long been a wonder to myself and others. If the late slip should induce bath authorities to shift the fence to the top of the bank, where it should have been at first, it will be of servicei In future, before writing such articles, ng the distance it short, would it not be as well to send the office boy to report?—surely he would know the difference between a one in four and one in seven grade,—Yours, &c, ERNEST COMBES, C.E.
