THE COUNTY BALANCE SHEET
(to the editor). Sib,— Might I recommend the ratepayers of the Kawhia County to read a portinn of Shnkespeare’s Henry IV., triz., Falstaff’s Tavern Bill. It rune: “ Item--A capon, 2e 2d, " Item—Sack, two gallons, 5b Bd. “ Item—An' hories and sack, 2s 6d. “Item—Bread, one half penny. Prince Henry: “ Oh, monstrous !• One half penny worth of bread to this intolerable amount of sack.** How does thia parallel the County balance sheet in a recent issue. “ Roads and bridges expenditure, £5 15s ”; councillors travelling expenses £B3,*’ and £8 odd disallowed. The comparison will be sufficient without my saying more. (Back is wine).—Yours, etc., AWAROA.
