LOWER RATTRAY STREET.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —With reference to your local in to-night’s 1 Star ’ anent the improved crossings now being laid in- Lower Rattray street, I must say the Corporation works department is making laudable efforts to remove the stigma connected with the disgraceful pathways and crossings in this locality; but I fail to see how it can. effectually manage this unless the Rail- I way Department backs it up by cleaning up the muck that covers its coal and timber yards, and keeps the ballast about its street lines in a clean state. After every shower the former are covered with liquid mud right out to the edge of the roadway, and every horse and cart trail so much of it over the pavement as they pass out. Therefore, although swept, say, at 9 a.m., they are just as dirty as before an hour afterwards.—l am, etc-, Yard Broom. July 7.
