THE GAS QUESTION.
To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sir, —I remember that when it was talked of for the City Corporation to vote a small sum of money for the purpose of providing a suitable reception for the son of our Queen, an objection was raised on the score of its illegality inasmuch as the Act gave no power to rate the citizens for any such purpose. I should like to know if it ever occurred to one of our city magnates to ask if they had any legal authority to vote Ll2O for the purpose of sending somebody somewhere to get somebody to say something about the desirability of the City Corporation setting up a gas manufacturing establishment. I am, &c., A Ratepayer. {To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir, —Why will the Corporation try to swallow a'camel, while they strain at a gnat ? Why are the streets in Dunedin not named on their corners ? year after year, a perfect nuisance, bother and worry to the conduct of business, to strangers, and everybody. Yours, &c., A Merchant.
