DELUSIVE ROAD WORKS.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —A short time back'the unemployed were put on to improve the path from tho top of Stafford street to Eglinton road. A quantity of ashes was placed on tho clay, but they never hardened, and with tho wind and rain have now nearly all disappeared, so that the path is now, in wet weather, not usable, It js also getting quite broken up where the water inids a channel to run in; while the gutter, which at first was solid clay for a cement channel, is now cut up, and will have to bo filled in again. To try to save it, I suppose, a quantity of stone was placed in it, but the only effect this has had is to make tho water cut outside of tho channel.

I write this to yon as I think your paper had an article at tha time the work was done praising it up. It was to be such a benefit to all users; but it looks as if it was going to be money wasted if the path is not asphalted, as' it was before the work was started. Where the footpath ends, at Eglinton road, the corner was widened, but no metal put on, so that one goes into a clay puddle to got across tho road,—l am, etc., A Daily User. March 20.
