NOTHING FOR NOTHING

CITY ENGINEER’S POLICY “A GREEDY PUBLIC” SERVICE TO THE CITY “These people who want ninepence for sixpence will get nothing from me,” declared Mr G. A. Hart, the new city engineer, at the luncheon tendered in honour of Mr Norman and himself yesterday, and expressed his determination to do his duty by the city. A very greedy public possessed a desire to acquire for itself every amenity of life, but lie had learnt the superficial worthlessness of their frothy ebullitions, particularly those who ninopeneo for sixpence. None would got anything from him without value having first been given. He hoped they would never regret having taken him to their hearts. Ho would give all ho could without stint. Tho greatest reward lie could expect was that they might sav: “This man did his best for us.” Wellington was a city where engineering was the essenco of its existence. Some imagination wouM be of use. as without it in regard to future developments the city’s progress would not be on the right lines.
