THAT INFERNAL DUST.
' TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—Those.who are doomed to spend the day in Queen-street have_ to endure their sentence and discharge their business under most difficult circumstances. The Auckland dust blend may he regarded as famous in the city, but outsiders stigmatise it as infamous. Large columns of this ...abominable compost are whirled up into the air and driven by iEolus along the street's. The choked and half-blinded pedestrians have to flee into'open shops to escape the fury of the blizzard.. The watering is; insufficient to keep down the . destroyer, and the _ side paths are covered with dust, so that neither comfort, = health, nor happiness can be experienced in this thoroughfare, which ought to be a model of cleanliness and attraction.— I am, etc., * •*' Jno. Abbott. * Auckland, November 8,1897. . V.
