View of Brisbane, 1886. Looking from the Old Mill at Spring Hill towards Roma Street Station. The Telegraph 20 September 1886 State of Roma street. 174070610 ) To the Editor - Sir, As a resident in Roma street I wish, through your columns, to complain about the state of the crossing at the entrance of Saul street (opposite my house). It is no exaggeration to say that it is six inches deep in clay. No one can cross without getting over boot tops in mud; it was a good crossing until the authorities put down a lot of soft stone and play; since, it is simply impassable. - Yours, &c. John
