GORRESPONDENCE.
LET THERE BE LIGHT.
(To fche Editor.)
Sir, —On wending my way homeward on Saturday night I wondered why the streets of Hokitika were so dismally dark. Splashing along from one pool of water to another I inwardly reproached the Mayor and Councillors responsible for such unpleasant surroundings. Upon inquiry I learn that Saturday night should have been a moonlight night. The moon, however, had been attending the Reefton races, or something else, and had forgotten to appear, strictly in accordance with Hokitika Borough by-laws, and consequently all weary-wayfarers were in the same plight as myself. I thought, Mr Editor, that the Kanieri Power Syndicate was to have the electric light burning brightly by the beginning of the year! What is the cause of the delay? Could we not ask that the installation! of which we have heard so much might bo expedited, as we could do with less skite and more light? I am etc., GLOW WORM. Hokitika, Jan. 13th. 1920.
