THE SILENT DELEGATES.
(To the Editor). Sir,—lt may seem strange to the general public that the self-ap-pointed delegates who interviewed tbe Premier re the acquisition of several properties suitable for closer settlement do not take the publio into their confidence. But it is whispered that a certain property within the borough is among those recommended, and at a pretty stiff price, no doubt far beyond thereaoh of the working man. There ia a petition now being largely signed by the, residents of Masterton requesting the Government to acquire another property, and if this is oarried out by the Government, it will have the effect of materially reducing the value of certain estates within the borough. Perhaps this may have something to do with the reticence of the delegates.—l am, etc., OBSERVANT. Mastertoa, May 15tb, 1906.
