Salient rural points
• I read with interest the mayor's reply and criticisms of my recent letter to your paper. Perhaps the Mayor in future could show a greater degree of professionalism and stick to the salient points, instead of making seemingly perfunctory comments about the credibility of an organisation, that asks only for fairness from the council. I therefore hope that in his next reply, the Mayor could give me constructive answers to the questions raised. I wonder if he could also tell me what is the actual cost of the Rangataua sewerage scheme, as when I analysed his figures I arrived at two different answers in the form of Original Waimarino rural increase at 78%, $630, 654, remove Rangataua component leaves a 43% increase of $347, 668 Rangataua component therefore $282,986? With a differential rate overall increase is 43% $ 347, 668, remove Rangataua component leaves a 24 % increase or $194, 047 Rangataua component therefore $153,621? Is my analysis correct, if f so what is the answer? As a footnote, if the Mayor wishes to see a copy of my letters prior to publication, which incidentally are addressed to the Editor of the Bulletin, then he should approach me personally.
