SOUTH DUNEDIN AGAIN.
To the Editor
Sir, —As a ratepayer and a resident of South Dunedin, I attended a special meeting of our Municipal Council, which met last evening to consider the advisability of borrowing L 3,000, and I was surprised to find s that both the Mayor and Councillors strengthened their arguments by asserting that although the rates were due to get them collected would be impossible, through the poverty of the ratepayers. Now, sir, I ask, through your columns, botij the Mayor and Councillors to give the rate? payers an account of their affairs before they go into the money market again ; and to teU us where the money is. to come from to pay for the interest on these loans, when there are not sufficient rates to cover present expenses, with only two working men constituting the municipal staff.—l am, &c.,
Ratepayer Macandrew Road, September 21.
