THE PUTARURU PRESS. ’Phone 28 - - - P.O. Box 44 Office - - - Oxford Place THURSDAY, JANUARY 3, 1929. FOR THE PUBLIC WEAL.
IT is not to be expected that everything a chamber of commerce does will meet with the approval of everyone. There are always two sides to every question. Nevertheless those members who regularly give their services and attend meetings discuss matters, ;j with an open mind, and the individual -view is often sacrificed so that resolutions may be passed which represent the consolidated opinion of the majority. Keen workers in the interests of a town or district then support the business decided upon, faithfully and to the best of their ability. This is the attitude of all those who have the interests of their own particular community genuinely at heart. In its recent attitude on public questions the Putaruru Chamber of Commerie has gained the wholehearted support of some six or seven other public bodies, and this in itself is a remarkable tribute to the standard of its cause. However, even with such a backing it appears that certain influences are not satisfied, and we hear constant complaints of opposition in the dark, as it were. So far as we have been able to trace this opposition to its source' we consider that it is worthy of little more than passing notice. However, we believe that others think differently, and this being so we thus make a note of their opinions. In conclusion we would make this statement. If there is any genuine opposition to anything recently done by the chamber then those who believe in this side of the case should come forward and state their views. We feel sure every opportunity will be given to them by the chamber. If they fail to thus come forward but prefer to continue’ to work in the dark then there is only one inference to be drawn, and that is that they have no genuine case for the public weal.
