THE BARRACKS.
0.0 THE EDITOR. Sir, —No reasonable person will disagree with the point of view taken bv your correspondent, “Safety First,” that an extra exit at the barracks would lessen tho risk of accident, even i s two extra exits, or the removal of the whole of one side of the building, would still further reduce tho risk. But my point is that, if there reallv is need for concern over the public safety at the barracks why this sudden outburst of zeal, when, to all appearance, until quite recently, the exits were satisfactory As I have previously said, according to my observation, there are other directions to which tho superintendent might well turn his activities. The barracks could he dealt with in their turn. I am sure that all will commend a desire to wave the public, just as I am certain that a strong feeling against arbitrary action will be expressed. 1 maintain that arbitrary power should not bo placed in the hands of any one man or official.—l am. etc.,
LET WELL ALONE.
