BOROUGH FOOTPATHS.
Now that it has been shown that the finances of the borough are in a flourishing condition —even to the extent of making a £IOO grant of the ratepayers’ money to a private company the Borough Council should be able to put many of the footpaths in a better state of repair than they are at present. Some of the footpaths are not a credit to a progressive town such as Masterton. Apparently some of . the councillors are not as fully conversant with the condition of many of the footpaths in the borough as the ratepayers are. Footpaths are to be found which were once good asphalt walks, but, through neglect, have been allowed to get into a broken condition. If the Council has plenty of money at its command —and, judging by the lavish manner in which it makes grants, it certainly has — then the ratepayers would avclcome some of it being spent upon footpaths which they are at present ashamed for visitors to see.
