THE TOWN BELT.
TO TUB EDITOR. Sir, —Seeing a paragraph in your remarks in ‘By the Way ’ m Saturday evening’s paper re the danger of crossing the Town Belt, especially for 'women and girls, in the evening, as well as in the daytime, it has often struck me that on the main thoroughfares through the Town Belt, if there were let on lease building plots where feasible for the erection of suitable and picturesque Villas, with road aud pathways, and the same well lighted, it would conduce to the safety of the public, and there would bo any amount of Town Belt left. Many of our young women have to walk from their work, and the sa/.ely of the gentle sex is of far more importance than having a lot of dense bush on the main thoroughfares. Of course, I do not know the law with regard to the Town Belt, but I suppose any law can be altered when necessary.—l am, etc., Observes. Match 14. [The Town Belt is vested in the Corporation as a public reserve, and cannot be built on, even temporarily.—Ed. E.S.]
