LOCAL PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
TO THE EDITOR. OF THE AKAROA MAIL. Sni, —It is amusing to an on-iooker, and outsider, to observe the commotion caused on the subject of providing-Akaroa with proper buildings in which to transact the business of the public.
If the Borough Council -members, and the burgesses of the borough, had not been addling their brains, losing their tempers, and acting with insane jealousy, of each other, on the subject of " ends and middle," they would have seen that you have a seldom .used public building in Akaroa, which, by the outlay of say £1000, might be made suitable for R.M. Court, Post Office, and Telegraph Office purposes. _ The building I refer to is the Immigration Barracks. The site and building, if I mistake not, are public property, the situation is second to none in the borough, being in close contiguity to the principal business houses and Government wharf, whilst the sum required, for necessary alterations, is so small that the Government could not object to granting the amount. —Yours, HENERY G.
