THE DUST QUESTION.
[TO TI IK KrUTOII] Sin, —It seems as if our City Councillors have not one spark of an idea how ratepayers money should bo spent. Coidd they not spare a trifle towards \\<itering onr streets? What are our diapers thinking about who have goods in stock so easily soiled ? One would imagine by their silence that they only w anted the dust to conceal defects. They have paid something towards the water cart and why don t they try and have it utilised, instead of lying by rusting ? If wamt of money is the excuse, why don’t om worthy Mayor take a lesson from the Dunedin City Council and other bodies and lower the salaries of the officials and then he would be practising "'hat he preaches.—l am, i'ic., RATEPAYER. understand that an energetic young citizen has resolved to raise the dust for himself and lay it for the shopkeepers by working “the Corporation wnitercart as a private spec.—Ed. S. C. Trims.]
