SPOTSWOOD SETTLEMENT.
To the Editor. ~ Sir, —Referring to a, letter in your iisu« dated th!e 27th ult., and signed "Worker," I would like to inform him that the good old Conservative game of "collar all the land that you can lay hands on" has proved a benefit to Spotawood in the way of county rates. The Government does not pay rates on unoccupied Grown lands, but lets it to a few of their pets, instead of calling tenders for it, and the tenants to pay rates. I would like to see a bit more writing on this subject in your columns. Do you not think, Sir, that if dummyism can be proved, action should be at onee taken!—l am, etc., D. ft. COOPER. , [Certainly.—Ed.]
