A CRYING SHAME.
(To the Editor of tlic Herald.) Sir, —A,s we arc all aware, the Gisborne roads, especially Gladstone road, tbasiks to our very capable Borough Council, are not very choice, in fact they arc to most people a source of worry, more especially to those that travel upon them day after day, and, candidly speaking, they are a disgrace to any Council, the only decent part of Gladstone road being the tram line. Now, kind editor, I would ask why it is that .huge motor lorries, waggons, motor cars', etc., make, it their business to monopolise the tramline, and the unfortunate lady cyclists, as well as the men, have to resort to the mud, and it is mud too, to get out of the way of these monsters who could quile easily take the mud. This seems to me a crying shame, and I am sure that if I have not. your esteemed sympathy, I have that of the other cyclists of this town who have had the same experience.—l am, etc., OYOOSTE.
