CONSTABLE-STREET AND SOUTHROAD, NEWTOWN.
TO THE EDITOR. Sib— A petition, signed by fully 200 residents of Newtown and the surrounding suburbs, respectfully praying for a continuation of Constable - street to Southroad (a distance of a few yards, and a long felt need), was presented to the City Counoil, many months ago. It has been a very frequent topic of conversation that, after being referred to " the Public Works Committee," nothing has sinoe been heard of the petition by the petitioners. Newtown is undoubtedly a promising and rising' district, and its ratepayers, as a source of revenue to the city coffers, do not deserve to be sneezed at. We think tha Public Works Committee will be disgracing its functions if it does not give the petition the consideration it undoubtedly deserves. By way of conclusion, we may say the road was recommended and laid out on the original plan, prepared by the City Engineer Mr. Baird— a man by no means defioient in common sense and far-seeing acumen. We are, &c, C. E. Luxfobd. W. H. Incledon. Newtown, 14th April.
