A SUGGESTION.
To the Editor.
Sib, — Please permit me, through yonr columns, to suggest that the Mayor be requested to call a public meeting of the citizens to support the action of pur Superintendent and other members in defeating Mr Vogel’s Forest Bill, which is really nothing more than an underhand attempt at getting control of the land funds of the Province.— I am, &c., Citizen.
To the Editor. Sir, —I have read with interest your leading article in last night’s Star, and I think it is now perceptible to ail that the time has come when we must dissolve the partuersbip with the North Island, which is based on the principle of “ Heads I win, tails you lose.” J
If this partnership is allowed to continue any longer, we must be prepared to bid goodbye to our present} prosperity, as our land fund is bound to be absorbed for North Island purposes. Your remarks on the alienation of the public estate deserve the most careful consideration by every member of the commanity. Can the height of folly further go than the system we are now pursuing of selling the public estate at prices it could be made to realise in annual rents a few years hence ?—I am, &c,, Observer.
