ROXBURGH TOWNSHIP.
(To the Editor of the Tuapeka Times).
Sir, — Lack of opportunity has prevented, my noticing your Mount Benger correspondent's letter in your issue of the 11th inst. somewhat earlier. I may be permitted to state that your correspondent greatly exaggerates and misconstrues the decision of Mr. Warden Wood, relative to business people occupying sites in the public street. I think that Mr. Wood was perfectly right in ordering them to take out business licenses at once. Being outside the township they must be considered ■virtually subject to the operations of the Goldfielda Act. The best thing those people can do is to clear off the public street at once. — I am &c, Cosmopolite.
Roxburgh, December 16. • [Our correspondent will observe that we have studiously eliminated from his letter all the personal abuse of certain gentlemen he referred to, as it was not calculated in any way to strengthen his case.— Ed. T. T.]
