PETONE UNEMPLOYED
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—lt i 8 with great surprise that I read in your paper of the great distress that there is in Petone through unemployment. I understand from reports that there are something like 100 unemployed in Petone to-day. Why should all these men be walking the streets when there is work in'Petone that they could do?
But what hope is there for these men when the council turns round and lets the work out to private contractors, who employ men from outside the borough? I think it is time the ratepayers of Petone woke up and. began to look around and see what is going on.—l. am, etc.',
DISGUSTED PETONEITE,
