CABSTAND NUISANCES.
TO THE EDITOE. Slß,—Your correspondent, "Resident" is no doubt correct as to the nuisance arising from cabstands, but how to prevent it is the question. There has been of late a very laige number of cabs licensed, for which stands must be found, but" Resident" spoils his case by grossly exaggerating the condition of Queon-street, upon which men are every day at work cleansing, and those who have seen leading streets in other cities, state that Auckland will bear favourable comparison with any city in the colonies. Of course, wood blocks or asphalted road would be an improvement, but that is purely a question of means, a question upon which Auckland fault-finders are, as a rule, pretty " mean." Wild assertions about heavy rates do not mend matters, because, as a fact, theratea have been the same for the last 20 years, and are under other leading cities in this colony. . Something requires to be done with the cabstand arrangements, but it is a difficult question to deal with in trying to please 4concerned.—l am, etc., Fro Bono Publico,
