MUD AND MUDDLEDOM.
To The Editor. Sir,—What is the Otorohanga Town Board doing? Is it asleep, or what? Maniapoto street is only that in name now. It has gone from bad to worse, and I am seriously thinking of taking to stilts to get over the ground. I hear a rumour—surely it cannot be true— that the County offered the Town Board the loan of £6O, free of interest, to enable them to metal the street and that the Town Board looked the gift horse in the mouth, and preferred a minstrel troupe! Are the minstrels going to boat "way down the Swanee river." Because if so, there is a great chance for them, provided they don't mind mud. Otorohanga talks of being a rival of Te Kuiti, but competition in mud pie making is not the sort our townspeople want. Can anybody tell me anything about it? —I am, etc., - DRY AND DUSTY.
