RURAL HOUSING

- Sir —I note that this question is still figuring in the press and I beg • a little more space to air my views a second time. I have followed the , matter ever since its inception and unlike most farmers who waited until the official opposition spilt the beans before they realised the position, was fully convinced from the first that it was most unsuited, most . unfair and ill-conceived. Now Sir, : I just want to to farmers in this district thattfs it stands now the Council has merely shelved the* . . scheme We farmers want to kill it,: —stone dead. We don't want it to breathe again. There are better and ; more equitable methods than by victimising the ratepayers as a whole for the benefit of a few. I think the.. . recent meetings and the letters in the press should tell the tale without too much from me, as to what the great majority of the ratepayers really think. Now Sir, let me imH part to our worthy councillors the., advice which lam convinced 99 per , cent, of the ratepayers would like ■ them to follow. Cut the idea out altogether, lling it overboard and then Ave will all breathe freely again. Here's hoping. Yours etc., JOHN BLUNT.
