RAVENSBOURNE RAILWAY STATION.
I'O THE KDITOB. Bin,—Allow me through the medium of your paper to call the attention of the authorities concerned to the disgraceful state of the footpath leading to the abed. After traversing the rough road one would expect something smoother on descondmg the steps. Such in nol< tho Case, however. In dry weather it ia rough and grinding, and in wet or after a shower tho reverse, being more like wading through mortar or slush. The best way to get along I find is to walk on the wooden curbing close to the rails—rather a dangerous practice, certainly, but far preferable to run the risk than have ones soles ground to pieces or olothes splashed with mud. lam not the only one who complains by many. I think, sir, those in charge of this department might consider the ladies who have to travel by this line, as thpy are the greatest sufferers. Other stations are asphalted, and why not this one, where t!iero hj by no means a small traffic? Hoping that this will awaken tho attention of those ia charge—l am, etc., A Sufferer. Ravensbourne, February 12.
