SUGGESTIONS.
(To the Editor of the Ti.mks.) Sin,—The paragraph in your Tuesday’s issue in regard to pedestrians being inconvenienced by goods, etc., being loaded across the footpaths was well-timed. There is another matter that requires tho attention of our City Fathers. Tho number of carriers and expressmen have so increased that it is necessary they should have an appointed stand in some side street (say Peel or Lowe street). The nuisance to the public and shopkeepers by horse droppings, etc., and their attendant odors, are not at all times of the most pleasant nature. Then, when things are somewhat slack, or a wet day, it is a common practice for the drivers to congregate and perch themselves on any convenient I window ledge, and. some being fairly j broad in the beam give a poor chance to j those desirous of inspecting the wares I displayed within. An Anti-expectorating j Act also would not be amiss in this con- j ncction. I think also that a properly j located cab stand is among the necessities I that would be an element in making a j “ Clean City.”—l am, etc., , PnoGitKss.
