CORRESPONDENCE.

A Complaint

[to the editor. I

Sir,—Kindly allow me a little space in your correspondence column to point out the way in which the Borough Council has treated the ratepayers of Colombo-road. We have had to wade ankle deep in water nearly all the winter and now the Council has put some loose metal on the road so that everything will be rolling over loose stones all the summer. There are stones put down fully the size of any ordinary man's head, and I would like to ask the Councillors how they would fare trying to push a go-cart along such a rough road where no footpath is formed. I witnessed an accident to-day to a trap caused by the horse stumbling over the loose stones, whereas had those stones been broken up as they ought to have been such accidents would not be liable to occur.—l am, etc., " Resident." Bth September, 1905. [The head must be very small, or the metal very big. What we need in Masterton is up-to-date road machinery —Ed.W.D.T]
