Sib, —flow much longer will this place be permitted to remain in its present let!i;i f^ic state for the need of a stimulant in tin 1 form of a loan (:o infuse animation into il ? The former attempts and failure to secure ilit" requisite number of voUs to raise a loan may be fairly attributed to flic fao( thai a section of the ratepayers were convinced Iliat it should be accompanied by a schedule of works, and i hey fail-nit to come forward made a . serious difference at the ballot box, although they admitted the necessity of a loan. What, sir, is the use of the Borough if the benefits conferred by amunicipalify on a community are not ' viz., the privilege of borrowing. The Borough as it is now, with its empty exchequer, may be considered a farce, and judging from the present exhilarating stale of affairs here it would be difficult to say when there will be any improvement. The l.iwu will prosper in just proportion as it is improved, providing the adjacent country is feriile or yields some valuable commodity — two such virtues the country contiguous to Feilding is univrrsally ndmilted io possess. Why then the present torpidity? — .1 am, &c, BUKGfcSSf. ' ' '
