STRAYING STOCK
Sir, —Through your columns I would like to ask why it is that horses and cattle are allowed to roam the streets and do untold damage to citizen’s flower and vegetable gardens, especially in the evenings. Just recently I awoke one morning to find that some six or seven animals had forced their way into my property and also many of my neighbours’ living in Goodfellow Street, and with the wet days we have been having recently, the mess was appalling. When we are asked to grow as many vegetables as it is possible these times, I don’t think it is quite the thing to feed other peoples’ stock. I believe it is the habit of some people to turn their stock out at night time. As I am a lover of flowers and like to make our little town look beautiful, I think it is quite time something was done’ to put a stop to all this nuisance.—l am, etc., PROGRESS. Goodfellow Street.
