During the laying of the new tiamway lineM, writes "Elector," it was inevitable that home inconverueneo .should be suffered, but much dis>comfoil would be. removed by employing a larger number of omnibiiNoa as uuxiliaiie* to the cars. Then thero has been j very pervasive duat, destiuctivc to clothing, in chief thoioughfaies lately, much of which has had perlorce to bo devoured by uuforUimto puhntriuns. He suggests that this dust — which would seriously affright those who aro compelled to swallow it if 'they examined it through a microscope — might be "damped down" ' wii/lo people are going to and from work, night and morning at len&t. Finally, he complains that the footway along tho oastorn side, of liiddiford-strcct, which was channelled a few weeks ago to accommodate a now gas main, was not properly restored. It now comprises a | teries of terraces, hollows, and plateaus with strep escarpments, and it is an absolutely daugt-'ious condition, especially for agod and infirm, persons.
