MAIN ROAD MUDDLE.

To the Editor. gj r> —in your issue of the 10th inst., I notice a letter from Mr R. Boddy commenting on myself personally. Regarding the main road and other roads question, would you kindly allow me to point out to Mr Boddy that there is no nepd in discussing this question to indulge in personalities. I ' nav i ® nnver ro sd e of the word rogues either in my letters or conversations on this question. I pass over Mr Boddy's personal allusions to myself and can only put it down to his perience of public questions. lour correspondent pays a very poor compliment to the intelligence of the ratepayers here if he thinks they are to be blindly led by either him or myself. Anyhow,"i£ they are to be led in the dark at all, I venture to say that they might choose myself in preference to him, as they know me longer, and know perfectly well that in all my actions I have never ground my own axe. In conclusion, I would to give Mr Boddy a little bit 01. advice, and will not "charge him the usual six-and-eig'ntpence, either. Never, in dealing with public questions, introduce personalities: remember I am the councillor for the riding and the part I am taking I consider to be my public duty.—l am, etc., P. O'DWYER.
