DEVONPORT AFFAIRS.

'Sir, —I was glad to see " Resident's " letter in reference to "the disgraceful .state of the path across the reserve near the wharf. He might also have drawn attention to the fact that the gutter around the roof of the, bandstand has been leaking for some time and the dirty water drop:} on unsuspecting, people as they pass. . Had half the cost of the unnecessary rock gardens been spent on the paths, things would have been put right. There are other places requiring attention, notably one at the corner of Victoria Road and Clarence Street, where the water collects on the footpath and crossing, but for the champion, dirty, spot take the footpath outside the Ferry Company's workshop and garage. Here the water used in, washing buses and cars runs across the footpath carrying with it rubbish, dirty oil; and grease, through which people have to walk, or take the middle of the road, with the risk of being run over by a bus or car, for here both sides of the: .street are used for Earking, repairing and feeding vehicles, levonport borough councillors appear to go about with their eyes shut or with a disregard for the duties of their offices. ■ Another Resident.
