THE UNFORTUNATE RESIDENTS OF CURRAN-STREET.

CTo the boitorj Sir, —May I, through the medium of your paper, suggest that some steps be taken to make Curran-street fit to live in. For months past I and mj family have been inconvenienced to an incredible extent through the cutting of the road. Had it been a street occupied by the wealthy class, they would not have submitted to it, but because we are mostly hard-working tradesmen, who have to plod through the mud daily, we must put up with anything, and not complain at the absurd and unwarrantable delay that has been the subject of remark by our neighbours fortunate enough to ue out of Curran-street. I thought of applying to the Council, but was warned that would not be much use. One thing is certain, and that is that something must be done for the residents. The spoiling of boots and clothes is not a small item, I assure you, and a great consideration to a man with a large family. Surely it is time for us to insist on having our rights, the right of being able to get into one's own home without being more mud than man. Trusting that whoever is responsible for the disgraceful State of affairs will at once start to remedy it, and thanking you for your courtesy. —I am, etc, "PATIENCE EXHAUSTED."
