THAT LOAN PROPOSAL.
To the Editor. Sir,—The Mayor cf the town believes that no-license will make Masterton more prosperous. He is also advocating a loan of £12,000 for much needed improvements, and if he is right as to the effect of nolicense, then surely the raising of the loan is a doubly judicious matter? But there isn't much use in telling the public that you favour a loan and then sit with folded hands, so to speak. Isn't it nearly time that somebody was doing something towards getting the proposal carried? Ail I want to say is this, that the Prohibition'party is now on its mettle —some of the cleverest men in the community say that no-license will b« a failure . commercially, and if it is, licenses will be restored at the next poll. A good way to advance the depression theory, and the injury to trade scare, is to let the town drift backwards into grass, bog-holes, broken footpaths, and deserted tenements. May I suggest that it is right up to the Prohibition party to support the loan for all they are worth.—l am, etc., BUSINESS MAN.
