THE MACKAY STREET BRIDGE
CTo the Editor of the EyitHiKa Stab]
Sis,—Mr Bsnshaw's ?eply to my queg. tion is anything "bat satisfactory. He says : " Ualßß3 there was a fery'strong wißh expressed for it by those ia (he iamedbto neighborhood, ha should let it waif;." In these words Mr Eensbaw shows a little weakneaa. Ho must remember that tbo street was dedicated to the public, and for public trafgif. Persona who live
in a public street bare no right to Bay, "We don't want to bare a bridge there j we wish to live private." The opening of Mackay street for traffic is of far more importance than Mr Benshaw attaches to it. I will point out oge instance 2 In the course of twelve suouths there are hundreds of milea of extra traffic required on our streets fo* want of this bridge. That being so, it is the duty of the Mayor and Councillors to economise the ratepayers" taoney by opening up tbtf street for traffic
