COAL DELIVERIES
Sir, —Several times recently I have watched the driver of a coal lorry stop on one side of the road, hoist a bag on his back, and then walk across the road, through the gate, and round to the back to deliver coal (distance uncalculated). Also, I have viewed the cracked and broken concrete on the drive of a young friend of mine caused by lorries. How nice for elderly people to carry coal from front gate to the back. With regard to “Merchant’s” threat, I would advise, all those about to build to have the usual back part of the house fronting the road. Then the letterbox, milk and tread box, could be close to the front gate, with dust bin and coalhouse, and last, the clothes line. What a glorious view for the visitor to this garden city; and what a paradise for thieves. Heil! the jungle law!—Yours, etc., NOT WORK-SHY.. May 5, 1947.
