Brooklyn Road

Sir.—The motorists and users of the Brooklyn road will appreciate the Mayor’s action as chairman of the tramway committee for completing the tarsealing of the area between the tram rails at the upper end of the Brooklyn road. We still wish to see his committee alter the level of the tram rails below the Washington Avenue junction so that upgoing traffic can keep to the proper side of the road. It is up to Cr. Appleton as chairman of the ivories committee to carry out his pre-election promises by tar-seal-ing the left-hand up-traffic side of the lower end of the Brooklyn road. May I also draw Cr. Appleton’s attention to the present improvements at the lower end of the Moruington Road at Taft Street? Would it not be better to make a perfect engineering job of this work by lowering the upper end of McKinley Crescent and raising the Taft Street crossing? This will take the dip out of tlie main highway and give a better Approach to the upper part of Taft Street. They’ could lower McKinley Crescent some two feet for about two chains and raise the lower eud of Mornington road for about two or three feet, and thus complete the road for all time and so avoid another bill.—l am, etc., BROOKLYN.
