The Use of High Street.
To the Editor of the Press:-Herewith we
give the results of a count of the passing on
High street to and from Commercial street,
taken by ourselves at our office at the foot of
High street, and covering the twenty -four
hours from :15 p M, July I'd, to the same
hour July Sd. There were no professions, no
fires, no soldiers or bands of music, and no ex-
tras of any sort to mrke the use of the street
more than usual. We would observe that the
figures make no allowance for the passengers
in hacks at night.
pedestrians. 1743
Passengers IN carriages and light vehicles 49,. COZ
Drivers of vehicles loaded teams and hacks 1928
Hack passengers, so far as counted. ... 1876
Total persons. ............. 500. 1895
Light vehicles OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. S2S
Haehs Zoo
Total vehicles, teams, etc. .................152 1925
Beer cattle ..........................14
In the case of fires, or fire alarms in this vi
cinity, as two weeks ago for example, High
street is packed full of fire-eugines with their
attendant crowds, and carriages of all sorts.
Now, even if We suppose all this business to
be equally divided with Park street, there is
enough to reqvire both streets for every day
use.
When we consider the liability of the tenn
porary obstruction of one street or the other,
occurring at the same time with fire, to per-
manently shut up either would seem to be little
better than an outrage
We vouch for the accuracy of the above fig
ures, for we made the count ourselves.
Very respectfully,
JACKSON & EATON,
