LOWER HUTT ROADS
(To tha Editor.)
Sir, —I see "Another Ratepayer" is criticising the Lower Hutt Borough Council's roading policy. This is not fair, as tho council is spending all its time in town-planning and land dealing, and so cannot find time to think of such things as roads. I have a 20ft bitumen race track in front of my place and 20ft of mud road that is knee deep and smells like a dirty stable on two sides of me. This is one of the real roads in the borough, and on the main road to Day's Bay. I have been trying for five years to get this state of things remedied, but without success. All the drainage off the approach to the eastern end of the Pipe Bridge lies here, and unless the council does something we shall have a nice hot-bed for diphtheria or some other plague, I wrote to the Town Clerk some six weeks ago on the matter, and received word that the engineer was to report, and I would be notified to what effect "at some future time." —I am, etc., ALFRED J. KEARNS. Lower Hutt, Bth June.
