NATIVE BUSH.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —" Enzedder " deserves the support of every citizen who rightly values our wonderful inheritance of native bush right within our city.; It is speci-; ally anomalous at this time that big, strong men should be paid a high wage to destroy other people's property—given a free hand also to cut and burn as they like, with no supervision. Even schoolboys would know that in a practically bankrupt country—as our Dominion is—every penny should be spent on production, not destruction. Surely some useful work could be found for these men in the city or in the country, when men are working 16 hours a day or more making provision for our dire need, if the enemy should come here. Even if they don't come, every; penny and every grain of wheat will be needed. Yet a small number of men are actually allowed to waste money and man power in destroying natural assets. If the City Council would stop them it would only be doing its duty, and would leave behind it a reputation for justice and common sense.—l am, etc., Ratepayer. September 23.
