A COMPLAINT

Sin,—As a property holder and a resi- deut of Word Five [ wou'd ask why is it we capvot have some protection from the authoricties egainst the numerous toughs who friquent the shanties on the Lower Spring Fark Road. Complaints are daily made 10 the police about the disgraceful scenes which occur almost every day and night in aod around that section of the road which is better known as “the

In fact rows are contin- ually taking place The police somes times takes a walk around after the fight is Over, and although they know who the principals are they make no complaint or issue nosummons. Now Mr. Elitor [ ask, why? Property in this locality cannot be let to any respectab'e persons, ‘and if you wish to vell a house no one would thisk of buying—in fact property on this road is valueless. Stil we must pay taxes, and get no protectton whatever. Surely weare intitled to some police be!p in order to keep down those disgraceful

ecenes. Atnightno ove is cafe ip pass- ing. Young boyr, ecarcelytten years «lJ,

Can you, Mr. Editer, do anything {brough your columss to stir up our pr l ce in order that this nuisance may be stopped, as complaints to them by us pro perty holderstare unheeded,—and forever oblige Prererry Houper.
