KEEP TO THE RIGHT.

TO THE XDITOB 0? "THE PBTISS." Sir,—Some time ago I noticed in a report of a meeting of the City Council, mention made of the difficulty met with in having the new by-law of "keep to the left" observed, and that steps should be taken to bring it into better notice to the public. a few days of this I was walking in High street, endeavouring unnaturally to observe the new arrangement, and I met, carefully keeping to the right, or wrong, a very high ofScial of the Council's office; and a day or so later another member of that staff was following in his footsteps. Now if these good people, from the precincts of whose headquarters these by-laws are effected, apparently deliberately ignore them, what can be expected of members of the general public, the majority of whom do not even know of the existence of same. I absolutely agree with "keep to the right" in his letter in Friday's "Press," and affirm that the original system was by far the more natural. I use every endeavour, often at the expense of my own and many other people's comfort, to observe the'painted notices, which are, however, displayed in such a poor manner that many people never see them. I hope someone will take this matter up and try and impress on members of the City Council to have the old order reverted to, so that we may ALWAYS KEEP TO THE BIGHT.
