Brooklyn Improvements
Sir, —When will the city council formulate some activity over Tills’ Corner in Brooklyn? This corner is without doubt the most dangerous in Wellington. Yet the yvorks committee and the tramway committee toss this baby from one to anot’jipr from one election to another. The various chairmen go through the humbug of inspecting the corner and then, looking wise and serious, proceed to solemnly promise that it will be done. Engineers. rush up and measure it up, discuss flails for improving the intersection, issue procalainations setting back the building line some 15 feet, and then the engineers fade away. Then the tramway manager goes up —stands in the middle of the road, deep in thought, and he goes away.
The city council some 29 years ago started to construct a main highway from Mornington’ to Brooklyn, but apparentlygot lost and this road never reached Brooklyn. It is time the city council completed some of the jobs before starting on any more big water and drainage schemes which are mainly underground and are never seen.—l am, etc., BROOKLYN. Wellington, March 21.
