CORRESPONDENCE.

To tbe Editor. Sir : Pro Bono Publico must either be a man who will go for a visit to Nelson with sixpence in his pocket to spend and a heap of bread and dripping for lunch and tea,, or else he is one of those thirty bo ha week men,, who has never been far away from his mother and who is narked because he didn’t get the job of acting as poll clerk and with the boodle buy cigarettes and sarsaparilla and have a years fun with the money. If he would take a trip to Richmond or Stoke he may come back with some ideas in his head and see the world a bit. Tam, etc., Tiive and Let Live. Sir : I do not often write letters to the papers, but I would like to bring to the notice of the Riwaka Road Board that it is encouraging filthiness by allowing certain persons, to drain their outhouses into the creeks from which we sometimes have to get water for household use. Several members of the Board have been spoken to about the affair but they seem frightened to do what they ought to do. I hope they will see into this and see it stopped. I am, etc., Disgusted.
