Stray Horses.
|TO THE EDlTOn."]
Sib, —Tho remarks mado by " Ono Frightened" in. Saturday's Tkleohajh
anent stray horses running all -over the town wore, I think, well timed, especially the lines referring to " women and children and unthinking policemen being run down by erratic horses in playful exercise." But, seriously, Sir, I would ask who is to blame?
" One Frightened " blames the Inspector of Police for not prosecuting those peoplo who allow their horses to wander at largo. Ido not blame the Inspector in tho least, but I do blame the Corporation for allowing unfenccd sections in tho town, and for keeping its streets in such a manner that horses can find feed on them. Ido not think anyone would be foolish enough to allow his horses to stray on the streets if there was no grass growing ou them. Of eourso not. " One Frightened " also stated that the Inspector of Police refuses to carry out tho by-laws of tho borough. No doubt he (tho Inspector) has good reason for it, as he knows as well as many others that if tho ratepayers were to be prosecuted for infringing some of the Napier borough by-laws thoy would ask themselves tbe question whether they wero not in Russia instead of iv a free English community.—l am, etc., Yankee.
