THE FEILDING LOAN.

TO THE EDITOB OF THE FEILDING STAB. A short time ago a letter appeared in the columns of your journal, urging the necessity of a loan for Feilding, which sentiment, as a ratepayer, I cordially agree with, and all who hare the prosperity of Feilding really at heart will also* I believe, coincide with me.: As an in* stance, look at the liberal area of country within the precincts of the Borough all felled, cleared, and grassed* which is lying at the present time practically useless to the respective owners of the sections; If this land were opened up by roads, " it would immediately become raluable to the proprietors thereof, and ia consequence of the increased value of the sections would accordingly swell the funds of the Borough income in such a manner as would amply pay interest, and to spare, on the sum ex* pe-nded for the formation of such roads.- • Another incontrovrrtible argument, in" fuvor of a loan is, the immediate ne--1 cessity for some sanitary improvements, , as the numbers of stagnant pools in ; various places will be the source of i numerous evils when the hot weathef j sets in. It is quite gratifying to turn to i iiny of the other to»vns for comparison, ! mid see the various public works which < nre going on to the manifest improvei mint of those towns, and the health of ' the people who reside in them. There : can bo no possible objections or reason l why some initiative steps should not lie . taken here to make a move in the matter" : at mice- in what may now be considered ;> 11 imperative daty. — I am, &c, I Pbogbess.
