THE BREAD QUESTION.
(To tlie Editor of the Tuapeka Times.)
Sib, — I have watched with considerable amusement the controversy which has for some time been raging in your columns on the price of bread. Dunedin and Tolcomairiro have been cited as examples, worthy of the inhabitants of that great, united, and publicspirited community which inhabit Lawrence. I may remind them that there is a place called Waitahuna situated a few miles from their noble cifcy, where the inhabitants are united enough and courageous enough to compel a reduction in the cost of the staple commodity, without any of the gas or bombast displayed by their ■metropolitan neighbours. The residents in that small village, as the happy inhabitants of the mighty city of Lawrence style it, have for a considerable time been supplied with excellent bread, every loaf full weight, at the rate of 10d., and that without making any fuss about the matter. Of course you great people at the Junction can hardly be expected to take a lesson from a humble Waitahunaite. Waitahuna, April 5, 1869.
