OUR STREET LEVELS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.
Sir, — I think the Foreman of Works for the Patea County must have left his spectacles behind when he took the levels of High-street. Perhaps he's very fond of duck ponds, or likea to play ducks and drakes with the ratepayers' money ; any way, the Town Board has been put to very considerable expense in altering the grade of kerbing accorxling to his instructions, and now the water lodges as it did aforetime.
What are our Council members about, in not having this rectified ? The expense would be light, and the benefit incalculable.
Note also the letter of Mr. McGuire to the Town Board. Why did he name Princes-street, and omit the main street, High-street ? If any formation requires to be clone, it should be formed in both stre ts, more especially in the principal street, High-street. I have property in both streets, so that I write impartially. — I am, &c,
Egmont.
