1896 North Melbourne Courier
A COMPLAINT.
To the Editor.
Sir,–Having read a paragraph in your last issue of the COURIER in which you say the Western Ward ratepayers have a substantial grievance and might receive a little more attention than they do, I beg to thank you for your comment, and at the same time say it applies very much to a short ” Cinderella” street in the ward, running from Dryburgh-st. to Munster-terrace, named Du Feu-st. I have resided the last fifteen years at the corner of Dryburgh-st. and the street under notice. During that time it got one light coating of metal, and as there is considerable vehicular traffic on it, the consequence is it is in very bad repair. The middle of the roadway is sunk in pie-dish shape, while the pitchers of the
channel in some parts are fully six inches higher than the roadway, making it dangerous to any person who is compelled to cross over them with a horse and vehicle. On one occasion, while I was
turning my horse and cart round to enter my yard, one wheel sank down to the nave in the street. The query is, who is to blame for this state of things. Why are some left out in the cold ?
-I am,
yours respectfully, M. A. Sweeney.
91 Dryburgh-st., North Melbourne. July 27th, 1896.
