trades people ; and for that reason, many of the merchants in London caused the asphalt to be raised and freestone substituted. In conclusion, I must remark that many letters have been written in your Journal in favour of asphalt; leads.one to ; elieve that" asphalt "is a considerable h/i.'er of shares in the Auckland Gas C: dipany. I am, &c, Freestone. [We thank our correspondent for his information, regarding what was done " some 30 years ago." Wo have no doubt he speaks truly of the age to which he belongs, a period at which railways, and electric telegraphs, and similar elements of progress were not operative. But when he speaks of modern times, ho either speaks what he does not know, or he tells deliberate untruth. So far from asphalting having gone out of use, the latest intoi-mation from home tells us that its use is spreading amazingly, even roadways being now laid in asphalt. As for the " Merchahta of London" who rely on the colour of the pavement for giving a sheen to the "goods in their shop windows," the object would be better attained and more cheaply, by providing colored spectacles for customers. The difference in cost of pave ment would afford this, and the suggestion is worth the notice of the City Council. With reference to the insinuation that those up holding asphalt have shares in the Gas Company, we are inclined to think that " Freestone's" interests may be equally bound up in Mangawai nagging.—Ed.
