A NUISANCE.
TO THE BDITOB OP THE STAB.
Sib, — I have children attending the Hawera State school. They generally go there through the street which the Stab office is situated, as it is most , convenient. The footpath is in a dis- ' graceful state, especially, one on the corner, where the butchery is. The poor child-en (mine and other people's) get to the school with damp feet, and ; they come home with a croupy cough. A very small expenditure would give the children a dry footpath to walk on. But it seems to me that all the rates are spent on or two favored spots — in High-street and Princes-street.
Strangers who visit Hawera are not very favorably impressed with the streets and footpaths. The sooner a borough is proclaimed the better. There will then be more money to spend : and as residents in High-street and Princes-street have made a milch cow of those living in less favored, but as heavily taxed, localities, a turn about would only be fair play. — I am, &c,
Father of a Family.
