WIDE STREETS VERSUS FEVERS.
(To the Editor ot the STAR). Sir,—On the eve ot leaving Auckland, I observe "Resident's" letter in reply to mine. If, as he says, your citizens believe in the saying that absence or loss of their property make their hearts grow fonder towards it,and consequently, they won't part, even for humanity's sake, then is there not such a persuader as an Act of Parliament ? How have people been forced to build certain kinds of houses, chimnies, signboards, etc., etc. ? As regards the failure to widen High-street years ago, it simply remains a standing disgrace to the narrow mindedness of all owning property there. But years ago the world was supposed to be flat, (like many people), steam-engines avere ridiculed, and Auckland was considered New Zealand, if not the world. That is changed ; and Ihavenodoubtalsowill the non possnnms idea that Chancery Lane is the veritable Rotten Row of the Pacific —Yours, &c, Traveller
