LOAFERS AND BREAD.
(To the Editor). Sir,—ln reply to your correspondent of this morning, I would first of all like to point out that Masterton would be none the worse off if those beautiful lamp-posts were decorated with a few loafers, but the toilers we cannot spare. If in fixing the price of bread your readers would only take into consideration that flour is not the only essential, that potatoes are at famine priaes, also firing, and tbe up-beep of delivery plant is not ligftt in tbe winter, to say nothing of the high rate of wages for labour, they would, 1 think, admit that the master bakers have only a very small margin left for themselves, especially when a few loafers look on their baker as a benevolent institution, and expect their broad for nothing.—l am, etc., REX. Queen Street, Masterton, July 10th, 1906.
