QUM/ CAE OF • PCULIC Roam—Our attention has
egain been called to the extraordinary uso winch is made
of part of the public road in Fortune's' Will. We have
before nnesrkel on the obstructions which useil to be
placed on the road from the Railway-station to Fortune's
Well ; but those have now been resnoved, and it might
have been expected the present encroachment would not
have been allowed to remain. Bight in the middle of
Fortune's Well, at a part where the public road is about
26 or V feet wide, are some circular heaps, extending about
nine feet into the road, and hero lime is inixal, and this
is against the straight dwarf wall of the footpath. The
wizen is made on the gutter, and sty. it, and the curious
part is that the mess is exactly opposite the entrance to
the residence of the LVAI Board's chairman. Two
water barrels, apparently for mixing the mortar.
are stowed against a lamp poit, so that any nee corning
straight across the mail to or from Mr. Lane's may
walk through the mass of wet lime, or stumble over
the barrels, the latter being on the foot path.
Portlanders may well expect that visitors will go to other
Places. ..when the stmets are not watered in summer, and
when hub ii mixed up on the publie mad, in close
proximity to the residences of at least two local boards-
' men. the Chairman and Mr. E. Conde% within a stosie's
throw of a church, a vicarage, and the Poit, ; and
not far off from the two Batik; '. hist opposite the lime-
• mixing encroachment, on tho other side of the road, a
house to being built without any hoarding or protection
for passers by from the stones.
