To the Editor of the Lyttelton Times. Sik, —With regard to the " stiangc anomahf" alluded to in your last "Journal of the Week," respecting the state of Norwich Quay, it appears to me that this detestable nuisance of mud and water, mig-ht very easily be remedied by employing the prisoners in the jail to macadamize the road and foot path. At Auckland and Wellington the prisoners sentenced to hard labour, are daily to be seen working on the roads, under the charge of an armed policeman, to the manifest benefit of the settlement, and the health of the prisoners employed, who must surely prefer wholesome exercise, and fresh air, to the close and damp confinement of a cell. The only expense to be incurred would be in the hire of a horse and cart to bring down stones from the Simmer Road, where material for macadamizing operations is to be found in abundance. Norwich Quay is. and from its situation always must be, the chief scene of tratlic in the town, and it surely rests with the Association to make tlie principal street in the Fort Town available for business purposes, and passable for pedestrians. Hoping to see the removal of this "muddy nuisance " before the expiration of the present fine weather, I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, A Bkach Mas.
