DRAINAGE OF ALBERT-STREET.

We perceive that the end of the beach road is to be some 20 or 30 feet on the south side of the Wharf, the outside piles having been fixed. Before this part of the road is filled in w« woulcT.bring to the notice of the authorities the necessity that exists for a drain on the South side of Albert-street. That a drain will have to be put iu there at some time or other is a certainty, and if it is to he done, why not at once,"as it will cost perhaps more than double the money to break up the road after it is filled in. We have before remarked that the block of ground which is bounded by Albert-street, Queen-street, Coehrane-stx'eet, and Brown-street, has no outlet whatsoever for any water that may accumulate there in wet weather, and that there is an absolute necessity for drainage of some sort. The culvert we'refer to would drain the block to a great extent, and this, we consider, could now he put in at a much smaller cost than if it is left for some time to come.
