CORRESPONDENCE.
| The editor is not responsible for opinions expressed by correspondents.] TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —I crave a short space to enter my protest against such false and malicious statements as were contained in a letter in your contemporary re Aratapu Post office appearing' anonymously. If is quite untrue that “ There has been for a long time a widespread feeling of discontent in Aratapu at the very unsatisfactory arrangements provided &e.” We have enjoyed many advantages through the courtesy of our postmoster and his assistant which we
onld not get from a purely Government office where the hours of business would be from nine to five and not from nine to midnight as I and others have helped to make them. With the exception of perhaps throe individuals none of whom have much business (except envy and slander) to transact I believe the public verdict to be unanimously in favour of the present management. If this were not the case Air Dar—gavilla surely would have found no difficulty in getting ids petition for a regular Post and Telegraph office circulated and signed. It seems to me that the letter only appeared because the petition scheme failed.—Yours etc., Truth.
