TARRING AND SANDING THE STREETS.
I TO THE EDITOR. "■ .. : '- I Sir, —Can you .inform me 'whether the tarring and sanding is done by contract or. by J , the employees of the City Council? From the' manner in which 'it-: is in:some places / ;.'.: performed, I assume it is effected under tb( former conditions. I would jus't ask the ward foreman, or if there be no such officer, any member of the Streets j Committee, to look at the condition of Grafton Road be-' { tween Nairn's shop and , the ? bowling green, [ where great pools of tar are left without any ■ I sand whatever. It is simply scandalous that ! people should have theirj carpets and. floors I spoiled by the tar which adheres to the feet ' I of the occupants, especially,children.l am, I etc., "*; • i : ■ Citizen. - ■
