GREEN ISLAND ROADS.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —In a recent issue of your paper ivo wore pleased to note, inter alia, that the Green Island cemetery account showed a decided advance financially. As one who has had the bad luck to ho forced to travel through this progressive (?) borough on one or two occasions recently I would like to ask if this increase is caused by the addition to tlie above-mentioned resting-place of •old ami trusting motorists who, having waited patiently lor the day when they might travel along something at least remotely resembling a road have finally given up hope and died of broken hearts.

. Of course, motorists nil have their little worries, but to ask any motor owner to steer a valuable piece of machinery over such a length of alleged roadway as exists from the bottom of hook-out Point to the centre of Green Island is really asking a little too much. And this is our Main South road! Perhaps the councillors of Green Island do not possess motor cars, or, if they do, they have sense enough to leave them at homo and travel by train. Lucky men, indeed! Wo poor unfortunates who have to use this so-called main road by car certainly envy them. J suppose it is really too much to ask that all the pot-holes be filled, but could wo not pray that at least a small percentage bo covered over? A trip south then might be enjoyed, and some of our attention given to admiring the scenic beauties, instead of being in fear ami trembling that one might moot a passing car coming out of these minaturc craters, with disastrous results to both parties.—l am, etc., Hopeful. August 1.7.
