RURAL HOUSING SCHEME.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —I was greatly surprised to find on reading the report of the meeting held by the Kairanga County Council that in spi,te of the fact that a good proportion of the members were not fully in accord with the 'idea of receiving ten thousand pounds from the State Advances for the purpose of granting an advance to farmers under the rural housing scheme, they eventually agreed to this, on the chairman suggesting that they should follow the course taken by other county councils who had already taken up this proposal. Allow me to say that any dead fish can float with the stream, but it takes a live one to swim against the current. I feel impelled to ask my fellow ratepayers not to patronise this scheme, for by so doing they will cause each ratepayer to become security for their loan, which is absolutely against all 6ound principles and justice.— Yours, etc., THOS. YOUNG. Eitzherbert West, 13-9-40.
