MUNICIPAL COMPOSTING
"elector."
Sir, — I do not think that even. a Labour Government bureauerat and a member of the Opposition would be so much at variance as Mr. Parton and Mr. Burdekin are over the amount of material at the abattoir which could be composted if a works was started- Both have been given figures by the abattoir manager, and obviously from there they each made their own guesses. But who is the best guesser? After reading Mr. Parton's explanation in your issue on Saturday I say he is. Mr. Burdekin considers that only 135 tons of material a year would $e' avaiia.ble at the abattoir, and that from other sources there would not be very much. Even to the layman it is clear that to dogmaticaily mainta.in that only 135 tons could be 'obtained from the hundxeds of head of stock killed, there;/. each ;,y:ear is ridiculousl - Mrr ^urdekin • !.admits~ he :ohiy: saw the Dannevirke scheme in its experimental stages, and then he apparentiy forgot all about it until Mr. Parton raised it as an election issue. Yours, etc.,-
