WHAT WAS MEANT.
. , Sir,—On glancing through "Letters to Editor" of your valuable, paper a few days _ I noticed .one: from Mr. Whiting!. re ..a meeting 'of ratepayers held at Paekakariki quite: recently. In his letter he states that to Mr. Smith's motion, to remain in the Hutt-County, should have been added the-following words:— ''Also that steys be taken to have tho administration improved." This is quite, correct, sir, .but Mr. Smith did hot mean it in the light tat Mr. Whiting put. it.. .What Mr. Smith felt sore about was tho fact that he could not
get some information which he required, and ;he thought that hotter opportunities Should ,be given; to ratepayers to ootain whatever information they required. ' I. think' Mr. Smith* and all other fair-minded ratepayers/ will, give we councillors r credit for the greatly' , improved Bnancial position••'of the Hutt County. Fouj years ago, our overdraft was close* on -£7000, .and at the end of our last financial .year it was reduced to a .little 'over .£7OO. . Surely we deserve some. kudos for such a satisfactory .state of affairs.—l'am, etc., • ■■ ' i! .^ELCH..
