I eas two new villas going up near Belle Vue, on the
Parkstons Road, on land let out (ea usual) on the 99

It is a notorious fact that Poole could number.
population of several thousands more if there were only
houses to pat the people in. No land is to be *old
now, even on the 99 years system, on which cottage
property can be erected, owing to the oaprios of the
owner of the land, who haa as great a right to do what
he likes with his owe land am I have to think that he
is thus damaging tha prosperity of our town, and a.
I have to do all I can to help him to get beaten at the
next General Election if he presents himself as a
candidate for Poole.

In proof of what I say cottages have even recently
been erected in parte of our town already overcrowd 4
simply because an opportunity occurred to the builders
of purchasing a piece of freehold land.

prowling our streets eolicating_pennies towards defray-

I wish the Pools fishermen had • bettor eye to
business than they have. I saw one of them land the
other day with a bucket half full of eels no larger than
worms, to be sent to London to be mad* into eel pies.
Surely the law ought to fix the minimum size of this
fish allowed to be caught; if it does not we shall soon
hare none to catch.

Them are no oydars, either he our harbour now. The
mollusc la extinct. Why? even the "spat"
ham been caught in the fishermen's oyster dredges and
sent away.
