Sir, —About four weeks back a meeting of Waipukurau business men was held here. For some reason it was not advertised. At that meeting it was decided to secure the mall contract for Tikokbtc and Onga Onga and to run the mail from here instead of Waipawa, and the meeting decided to subscribe a guarantee. Then the lists went round and the business men signed up from £1 to £5, in fact one large firm went into double figures. Then they are said to have informed a motor man of what was being done, and that he put in his tender to the postal officials, and having this guarantee to work on, he could easily beat other tenderers. If this is so. then they did not make the race an open one by informing all the motor men in the district, and so give them an equal start. Was that fair to other motor men contractors of this town and district’—Yours, etc., TAXI NOT SELECTED. Waipukurau, 1/12/27.
