CORRESPONDENCE.

+—- — -~ borough: WORKS. TO THB EDITOB OF THE FEILDINO STAB. Sib,— l was very much surprised to see by the report of the Borough Council meeting, as it appeared hi the Stab of the 24th Feb., that our TJity Fathers think of spending more mqpey on that monument ef engineering skill — the Feilding tunnel. I should have Jhought "that if there was any money ; to be^ spent in connection with that,- the besb way would have been to do so in "making a better second edition, not in lowering the first one, so that those who, liveT Mar where it passes can d-'aiii all their refuse into it. Still I thought I would " keep silent and speak not;" for an the midst of 10 Councillors thweis (sure to be) wisdom, and they will put: the continuation of the' Manchester-street;; cidvert; in.ihe schedule of works to bp ; done, if they get the loan. But I was doomed t<> disappointment, for .there is no. mention n^ade of it in any way. Of course r it is .every one for h imself, and you know who takes tho hindmost. So I suppose as some have got their part done, the .others' -'can do the best they can, .but we must get the road formed to our sections ; further back. I think it is, 'a pity : .we cannot a 1 get into the Council in turns; ; then we might all get a little. But if the £6,000 is to be spent in paying off -overdrafts, which overdrafts are spent in putting in culverts which have to * be- taken ; out again, and putting in others tb drain private property, . I say, look out, see who is pulling the, string.— l am, etc.', Pbo; Bono Pubwco. Feilding, March 5, 1883. ■ ; / ■ [We invite the lullest discussion on' all matters concerning the. proposed loan.
