CHRISTCHURCH ROADS
Sir,—What authority has the City Council to use the ratepayers’ money to subsidies outside bodies when demands are calling for repairs to footpaths, roads, etc.? I invite the council to have a look at the footpath between Armagh street and Latimer square, which has been in a state of disrepair for a long time. It is time an association was formed to protest.— Yours, etc., FRED. LAWS.
August 23, 1951. ■4“lt is presumed that Mr Laws is referring to the footpath under which an underground cable has been m-; stalled,” said the acting city engineer (Mr A. H. Jecks) when this letter was referred to him. “This was patched and will be top-dressed this summer, as no further subsidence seems likely.”]
