To the Editor; Sir :—Onlooker, writing in your issue of the 27th June with reference to the cost of breaking stones with the Corporation’s machine says the total amount per yard is 7s 6 2~5d. The estimate of 60 yards fpr the two days is not altogether fair, as 90 odd yards have been carted out as the result of two day’s work, and that, when the, machine was not in operatiomall the time. It will thus be seen that the output was a third more than that on which the calculation wash s d ; consequently there is a very material reduction in the cost per yard. It is all very well for outsiders to step in and fake up a statement which is misleading, possibly intentionally so. Onlooker before rushing iido print, should sit down and ask himself ; whether he could not be better employed in vending Pink Pills, or axe handles. I am, etc., One of the Council.
