THE CIA Y OUR STREETS ARE SMOTHERED.
To Mc Editor.
Dear Sir,—Now that the wind blows dry from the north.
the town is smothered with dust, in spite .if all our
appliances of water-cart., including engine-pumped salt
water from the Biy and the best hydrostitic vans. I
th'nt the cause is to be found in the fact that the dust is
blown down fr tin the St. John's district, where the water.
carte do not arrive t'll the middle or later part of the fore-
nom. I was in that &strict on Thursday morning last,
and noted the abundantly laid flints being ground on the
road into powder, and then being blown by the north wind
in showers of fresh-made sand all down the Front, and
into the town. Past experience has shown that when the
north wind blows dust-showera, the watering of St. John's
district should be coramenNel first, so that the dust may
be laid there. While there I noticed that the heavy stops
placed on the road to turn vehicle. off the smoothly-worn
part to the new flints, are sometimes coolly removed by
urea who walk in front of their waggons, and go defeat
the object of our surveyor. Trusting the contractor will
be directed to place the water early, and plenty of it, on
the roads in St. John's district, I remain sir, yours truly,
