"One slur that is cast on Dunedin, in the north is that it is too slow," said one of the speakers at a public meeting held in the South Dunedin Town Hall this week in connexion with the proposal to raise a loan of £BO,OOO for the purpose of constructing a main highway to, and the drainage,of Logan Park, "I have travelled extensively through New Zealand for many years," he continued, "and it has always been the same old cry. The peoplo in the north say that Dunedin has no vision, and therefore is not progressive. "Wc all know that this- is a wrong impression in many ways, but the time has come when the citizens of ■ this city should cast that slur aside for all time. They can go a long way in such a direction by carrying the proposal on Thursday, and let the people in the north see that the fine city of Dunedin has vision and intends to progress." These remarks' were heartily applauded by those present.
