LIGHTING AND SHELTERS
TO IHI EDITOR.
Sir,—There appeared ill your issue ol the 10th inst. a letter by Mr. S. George Nathan, which contained tho following sentence: "We have had promise after promise from the Mayor, City Council, and engineers that the work will be put in hand, and that is as far as we get." May I congratulate Mr. Nathan and hia Wadestown associates on their success in at least obtaining ' "promise after promise." My association has written to the council stressing the necessity for adequate lighting, tram shelters, etc., on at least two or three occasions, and, co far, our sole encouragement towards ultimate success has been tho orthdodox printed form intimating that our request will "be considered." As there are now some one hundred and forty ratepayers living in the Government houses in the Miramax district, it would be some small satisfaction if we could ascertain when we are likely to reach the "promise after promise" stage. As we have thir-ty-six and a-half years in which to pay off our homes, would the members of my association be over sanginue,^Mr. Editor, in hoping for the provision of ordinary utilities before we complete the purchase?—l am etc., E. E. CANHAM, Hon. Secretary, Miramar Workers' Dwellings' Association. ■
