DEFENCE WORKS.
(To the Editor of the Evening Stab.) Sic, —Surely your morning contempo* rary .must make a mistake in Baying that that there is a scarcity of men required to complete the fortifications at the North Shore, and that the Hon. the Minister for Public Works was seriously thinking of taking men from the Dock. Lucky men these dockmen ; they must .have better friends than the Thames men. Now Sir, there are about two hundred men out of employment, o* next to it, on the Thames, and our member is in Auckland; I won* der if he ever thinks of the many unemployed in his district. I suppose not. I think it is as little as he can do to lay the Thames unemployed before the Hon. the Minister for Public Works, and give the Thames men a show.—l am, &c , Electob.
[A perusal of our Auckland telegrams published yesterday will show our corres* pondent that our member has attended to this.— Ed. Star.]
