TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1922. THE MAYOR’S ADVT.
ShqffLd any of our readers doubt for. one moment that an advertisement inserted in the Times is noit read, they should have that doubt dispelled! by noticing the amount of irjfter/est being taken in a small advertisement recently inserted by the Mayor. Of course *we are prepared to admit that in the wording of an advertisement fcS the secret of getting it talked about, and in the notice referred to the Mayor achieved a triumph. He has whetted the curiosity of the public, The veil off mystery shrouds the powjer house and the man- in the street has assumed the defective faculty and can give solutions which vary according to the itime -of day or the locality. But the point that baffles the public is that they believe that the Mayor holds the secret key which could open to ithe astonished ratepayers the working of Ithe |ljt«tle| drama talking place at the 'light factory. That he has seen fit to withhold this knowledge has intrigued, them to ithe point of expressing their opinions hrough the columns af the Times. Will he divulge whait he knows, or believes that he knows.
“We nothing extenuate, nor aught set down in malice.”
Seriously we would advise His Worship to place all his cards relating to this mystery upon the table and let ‘the ratepayers see the inner workings of the business. Iff. as is inferred* there is crooked work afoot,, why not expose Wfet culprit seeing that it is felt tthat the culprit is known. The Mayor will find that the public will 1 back him up whole-heartedly in any action he takes ‘to conserve thei)r interests. But having inserted the advertisement it is hardly fair to the ratepayers not to ,be told what is behind it all. It is a pity that! the public should be worried with various solutjiions which range from, it being a scheme of the Mayor’s to divert attention from the poor light, to an attack on tthe power house by armed assassins in the dead of night. We would, in conclusion, remind His Worship that we shall be happy to publish his solution of Pukekohe's greatest mystery, in our correspondence columns as soon as he sends St in,
