QUEEN STREET.
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —This morning I saw an empty cart with a man and a sack of spuds in it- coming1 from Fort-street into Queen-streets One wheel went into a trifling inequality in the road surface, and tie mass of emptiness proved too much for the axle, which promptly snapped into two pieces. Of course there may have been a flaw in the axle, but I saw the flaw on the City Council floor, and I think it is only fair to give them credit for doing- the best they can "with the means at their disposal." I know the man, and I have three or four witnesses. Of course it is rude of me to mention it, air the same as the Cycle Roads League, but I am not a coachbuilder. —I am, etc., KM. BOCKAERT.
