THE WANGANUI COUNTYCOUNCIL.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Everyone knows that the members of the Wanganui County Council are asleop. Many times they pave been awakened out of their peaceful slumber, but alas! to no purpose. Mr Editor, can you help me in waking them up ? I crave for your assistance. For many months past tho fence adjoining the Rive-; Bank Road at Taylorville has b^en in a very dangerous .state and absolutely nothing has been done to remedy this defact. Tradition tells us that at one time a cartload of metal was spread on the footpath. Is there no chance of history repeating itself, as in wet weather people are compelled to walk on the road, which is always in a shocking state. I wish particularly t> call attention to an ugly hole in the middle of the road, opposite Gordon's stables, which, /if not immediately attended to, will be the cause of a serious accident- r I am tempted to mention tho water table, but the least said of this the bettor. Many times have deputations waited on the members of the Council re the above matters/ and in almost every case have failed to wake them up out of their lethargy. Sir, presnminfr that the Wanganui County Council is now awake, I appeal to them ak a body to do their duty and have theso matters set right, so that they may bo/not only a credit to themselves polfectively and individually, but also to the community they at present mis-replKCTt-1 am ' E tER HOPEFTJL.
