Pukekohe Loan Proposals.

[TO THE EDITOR.

Sir, .Probably it is as clear to your readers as it is to me that Councillors do not meet in Council for the purpose of learning points of order; that such points are entirely subsidiary and subordinate to the real baeiuets of the Council. Heoce, when 1 merely incidentally mention jour reporting such matters instead of news, I doubt wheth r your readers till conclude with you that I am "taking umbrage" because, 1 have, as ?nu allege, not figured to advantage. lu my letter, to which you attach jour memorandum, 1 did not so much as mention the fairness or otherwise of jour reports It would, tterefore, be wandering from the point for me to make any reference to the unsolicited testimonial or fairness from the Council as a whole, which in your; memorandum you grant yourself, and which will probably call to your readers' minds a very trite saying having reference to Btlf-praise.

Yuu need have no fear that the ratepayers will be call d upon \o vote for any prop; sal ot which full i formation is dei ied them by the Council. In view if the fact that our predecessors bed two 1 ana turned down in most emphatic manner, p obaMy from neglec'iup to see that ratepayers had full information, it would be crediting the pretent Council with a quite unnecessary degree of ttupidity ij suppose it incapable of profiting by such an obvious warning.—l am, etc., U. u.
