THOSE POSTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING POST.
01 TehT ehc hu ° ared and seventy posts, at £1 each. There is no difficulty about that calculation, is there ? I make it JG37O that the ratepayers have lost— £l a post through the blunder of some one connected with the Corporation, who has taken about three years to find out tha be,t way to mark tha position of the fireplugs. The workings of this ingenious brain aro curious They take thia form — tickets up ; then down fckets and up posts ; then down posti and up tickets again. Tun ia cortainly a beautiful mixture, as Beau Brummell said when the waiter gave him his cream and flies together. But it is the .£370 that troubles me. And can you
answer this : If the tickets were the best why were they not left when first put up It reminds me of tho man who had a wal built of stones in the middle of his drawing room, and had it taken down next morning just for amusement, becanso ho knew of n< better way to get rid of his money. I am, &c, T. Carter. Courtonay Place, 18th October.
