Papakura Town Board.

jTU THE EDITOS

Sir, —1 notice in your issue of May 21st that a special meeting of the Town Board is advertised for the 27th icst. Such is the annual meeting ol ratepayers and should be advertised as such. The advt. is grossly misleading, and 1 wouM ask, is the Board dubiou?'.'

1 hope the Board will have the work done on every road charged to that roar). The fences that were put up as a protection tor foot passsngera have been pulled down and re-erected, notwithstanding the suggestion that the Board could r.ol finance it i would like the Board to explain why it had the posts on tha footpathß painted a dull colour, instead of pure white. Several people have collided with them. Satisfaction is expressed that two more months will see the boiling dowu ar.d slaughter works removed. The ratepayers generally want to know what reason Councillor Jones has for saying that he "understands they would be willing to sanction a loan.'' He will get a shock if he thinks so; though a loan would be a good thing if wisely administered. Will the Board explain why the engine and rolier were kept going up and down Broadway for so long on a street that is rot properly finished, and m metal that is not blinded. 1 give them time to formulate a reason for no one else can.

The chairman has a hard tussle to break in four or live novices, and has general "sympathy; but you know sympathy does not push the township ahead. By the way, the young lolk of I'apakura prompt me to ask the Board why it sanctioned the erection of a lamp immediately at t'ic "Kisslrg Gate. "~1 am, etc , A KA'lEl'Al'liU.
