THE SUBWAY.

(To the Editor.) Sir,— Your correspondent of liuahine street seems to bo in a great fluster .the proposed subway. In any case lie might write and express his views without trying to insult those gentlemen who give their time to further the interests of the town. • ~I was pleased to see that the councillors considered it beneath their, dignity to answer the "He-haAv" .of jealousy Trom Mangatera. Your cor--respondent seems . to know a great deal about asses— l suppose from association. His views on finance are both pathetic and. amusing. He also contends that a subway is unnecessary. The answer to that is -the fact that the Railway Department is willing to spend a considerable amount of money on a crossing — a thing' they i would not do if it was not absolutely required. In regard to the bath question there can be no doubt but that 'the proposed site has many natural-.-advan-tages, and the very special one of being central. After going into all the pros, and cons, of the matter, and finding .out these advantages, dt seems to me that the councillors would be asses~if they did not change their minds. — I am, etc., JOHN H. FAIKHUHST.
