to nit; iiiiiTor: Sir, —I wish to warn any stranger to tho district against using Burke street on a dark night unless accompanied by some trustworthy guide. Turning into Burko street from Springbil! road you negotiate about. 'Ti'yd.s in safety, “ single tile,” uu]cos your fare is brushed by the overgrown hawthorn hedge. To change from the footpath to tho road tin elderly person would til most require a stop ladder. Hallway up tire steep pinch (.here ia a large pothole in tho footpath which has boon practically a death trap. It is almost impossible to walk on the road in wet, or frosty weather; where it is shaded from the sun by a tall belt of trees it looks ss if tho Exhibition officials had been granted tho sole right for a toboggan slide. Higher tip the footpath fade." from view by the overgrown hedge.-, and 11 those are left to grow for a few more years that part of the road will bs only a memory.—l am, etc-, Resident. June 23.
