NORTHLAND ROADS

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—When I first read about the trouble in Northland over the road ia front of Russell's store, I was under the impression that it was all moonshine, but after my experience last night, I am satisfied that the complaints aud comments ar« not strong enough. Let me recount my experience. On going through the township late last night on my way to the city I found the place • in total darkness. The lights over tha tram line were all out, and there were no lights even in the shops. It was a dark night, and you can imagine what a'shock I got when I found I, was up against a sloping bauk of loose metal and had to hold my car on the slope practically work-. ing in the dark, as the car lights did not show up the batter in the new foundation of the road. It would be bad enough in the daytime to get out of a fix like I wain, but in the darkness I can assure you I had the "wind up." Surely, Sir, something can be dona without any further loss of time about this road, and if not, will the council se« that there are plenty of lights kept going, otherwise I am confident that there will be a serious accident before long.—l am, etc., MOTORIST. . 23th October.
