BLIND-END STREETS.
(To the Editor.) Sir,—At the Hastings Borough Council meeting held July 28 m offer was made to give a piece of land to connect Beresford street with Townshend street. That proposition is all right. The alternate offer is to extend Beresford street a few yards, but still to a blind end. That stunt would not benefit a single ratepayer, and not one penny of tile ratepayers' money should be wasted upon that project, however full the council coffers of gold may be. Our rates are going up too fast as it is. Townshend street should have been opened through years ago. It has badly needed a way through to other streets for postman, tradesmen—in fact all users of the town, and if the land has been offered it should receive full consideration. But. to lengthen a blind street with obscure hopes—it can't bo done—not out of the rates anyway.—Yours etc., A RATEPAYER.
