A JOB FOR OUR FUTURE M.P.
ii Sir, —L read in the Beacon that we are threatened with an election in the Bay of Plenty. Very well then, let the best man .win! But having won, I hope he will get busy and attend to some of the Bay of Plenty 1 problems which have been piling up during the past two years. (No fault of our gallant late. M.P.) So, if our future Mi. P. should chance to read this, it hope he will look aroUncl and *ee what wants doing.. All right then: here is P'roblem No. 1: The - job of getting the Lands Department to do something to stop flooding of half the Thornton district. If the election candidates come but Thornton way they had better come in gum boots and explore the drains. , But I suppose they-will be too busy wooing the electors of the big cities of Whakatane, Opotiki and Ohope to bother about a few votes from the stick-in-the-muds out on the Rangitaiki Plains, where men are men, mud's mud, and drains are there for the purpose of flooding, instead of draining farm land. So, there, now, the future M.P.! What are you going to. do about it? Yours etc., NOAH IN THE ARK.
