OUR STREETS.
TO THE EDITOH. Sir,—l am glad to see the condition of out streets attracting public attention, and hope citizens will not rest until something is done to improve them. The filth and untidiness is more especially noticeable on a Sunday, when business is suspended, and people art out in their best. 1 do not think anyone would object to sweep their own pavement on a Saturday night, and the city carts might go round and collect the refuse. This would make the work easy and the expense light, besides adding considerably to the comfort of pedestrians on the following day. Trusting something will be done and done quickly.—l am, etc.. Cleanliness _ TO TUB EDITOK. Sib,—Having just returned from an extern ded tour in the South Island with three other Auckland citizens I can fully endorse all that has been said re the state of the streets in this city. My fellow-travellers can also bear out my statement. Surely something should be done to rectify such a state of affairs.—l am, etc., Aucklaxdeb. Auckland, April 15,1897.
