LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

MUDDY RAILWAY STATIONS

Sir—Do you think it Is pure incapacity or a loutish disregard for the public that .is responsible for the state of tho roads at the LamHSton and Thorndon stations? A kite of mud covers the wliiole surface at each place, and also the road between, -while thousands—real' Iv thousands, not hundreds—must cross them each day; women and children, as well as men, trying to pick shallower places vainly—the children to sit the rest of the day in soared muddy boots. Certainly it proves we are not a German community, which would not put up with it. I know it will be said there is a shortage* of money, labour, and material, but it was the same before the war, and the other streets of the city aro all right. There are netther crossing places nor attempts to sweep or clean passages for all tlfese people, and I do not know which are tho greatest dolts, those who put up withi the disgrace or thosa who are responsible for its continuance. It sizes them both up at any rate—l am, etc., MUD IS NEXT TO UNGODLINESB.
