THE FREEMAN'S BAY ROADS.

To the Kditor of the Nkw Zkalano ITf.uam>. Si it, —T p'Teeivo in your import of yesterday's City Hoard meeting that the residents in Vincent-street complain <4 that while something lias been done for t venf odirr a7/yW, nothing has done lor them." A wallc through the various streets in Freeman's P>av would show that theiv were many streets there in which noihimj imi done. and many others in sueh a state that ii' something is not done to them before the summer is over the Freeman'sHav district will be aiiain the disconnected island, west of Auckland, that it was la>t winter. —nevertheless, wi' shall find that ii is within reach of the rate collector. Franklin-street and a number of other less important arteries of tratlie have been formed, but not a load of metal has been laid upon them, ami the metalled road through the bay to Collegestreet is sadly in want of repair. The first strong north-caster that blows will carry away no Miiall portion of it. If Freman's Bay paid no rates, it could understand that yeilow Way, and yellow clay only was its portion as a y aiupT brother, but it pays a very large proportion of the city rates and does think that it ; is entitled to some crumbs from the table of its elder 1 and more fortunate brother, even if crumbs are | only >eoria a.di. l 1 am, sir, | A UATE-I'AYKU. W ell iiiii'toii-sl reet Vi'eM, January 27th. [The Provincial (Government are about to take nieaMire* at omr to construct the sea wall at the foot of Franklin-street, and now that the City 'Hoard is likely lo have increased funds at its disposal, Freeman's Hay and other parts of the town will, no doubt, be duly eared fur.—Ki>.
