TO THE EDITOR.
Sir, Who is responsible for sentencing our citizens to the daily use of that narrow spiral treadmill that has just been erected to give access to the private boxes at the Auckland Post Office? It is a disgrace to an otherwise fine building, and none of us who had the slightest regard for our servants or tradespeople would dream of having it even at our backdoors. I saw only two days ago an infirm old gentleman oainfully struggling with it, with the result that half-way up he got a nasty fall, and he will not be the only one by many if this disreputable mantrap is allowed to remain, which God forbid! Aucklonders are noted for their easy good nature in allowing themselves to bo put off with anything, but I scarcely think they will permit suoh an abuse of their comfort and convenience as this abortion of an architect's brain to remain a standing testimony to their long-suffering indifference to being " sat on." I trust other boxholders will not let this matter drop until something is done to rectify it.— am, etc., P.O. Box. . [The evil complained of by our correspondent is a very serious one, and ought to tie remedied.— '
