MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS.
10 TUB EDJTOU Sir, —In your paper there was someone writing about carrying ou municipal affairs with four directors. It they can carry on thus in Sydney 1 think it could be done here. As to rates on city property, 1 want to know how they have risen, when land agents say house property has depreciated in value ol late, and J challenge any ot the Financial Committee to say otherwise. Von can get a fairly good r-ingle-hrick house for the price of what a wooden one would have cost a few years ago. As for the Town Hall 1 differ from those who think we do not need one. When 1 look back years ago and think of the city having to use the tramway shed, etc., for a, concert, I thought it was a, disgrace. If Ihe l ' talkies ’ do away with their fiddlers and suchlike then the eitv can have concerts in the Town Hall on Saturday evenings for those who like music. I am, e tc PIUKiUKSS. March 30.
