CO=OPERATION WANTED
HON. R, SEMPLE AND COUNTIES.
OBSTRUCTION ENCOUNTERED IN SOME INSTANCES.
(“Times-Age” Special.)
“I want the co-operation of counties when tackling these jobs,” remarked the Minister of Public Works, the Hon R. Semple, when discussing flood protection measures at yesterday’s meeting of the Featherston County Council.
“I have received that co-operation in most cases,” he added, “but some counties have been positively obstructive for political reasons. The work of the nation must go on irrespective of who is in office. It is simply absurd and ridiculous to have to put up with that spirit. Is it any wonder I get angry at times? A man who adopts that attitude is an enemy to the progress of the country. I have had to put with some of that opposition, but happily not much,”
