THE RED STREAK.
AN UGLY STRAINING POBT. PROTESTS IN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Some time ago there was erectedopposite the “Tribune” offices, at the corner of ueen Street and Karamu Road, an ugly red-painted post for the purpose of putting the nec.ssary strain to hold the adjacent telegraph post perpendicular. Unfortunately the straining post has been erected in such a way that it is an offence to the eye. It leans in a drunken posit ion at about sixty degrees, and it looks a stunted trunk of a tree in ages past had taken root in the pavement. Many protests against its appearance were made at last night’s meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, and these have the heartfelt support of the “Tribune” which has gone to no little trouble and expense in the way of planting gardens to beautify its particular corner. The postreferred to w-n desorbed as an unsightlynuisance, Ind a decided disfigurement to the town pnd such it veritably is.
