THAT FENCE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE MASAWATU HEBALB.
Sir,—Aa several persona can't understand the resolution proposed by Councillor Speira will you allow me space in your paper to explain. The fact is knowing my fence was not on the boundary I had the land surveyed and found I was losing close on nine feet at one end, the other end being right. Now taking a line from nothing to nine feet for fourteen chains means a good atrip of land, so I decided to remove my fence to the proper line, and out of courtesy to the Borough Council I wrote informing that body I was going to do so. Fortunately there were more sensible men sitting at that table than Councillor Speirs, hence the amendment that the Council wished to meet me on the ground. Although not necessary, I am quite willing to comply with their request, and I hope they will all come as they will see one of the best blocks of land in Foxton. Thanking you in anticipation.
I am, &c„ J, Hilary Foxton, September 12th, 1902.
