RAILWAY STOCK YARDS
(To the Editor.) Sir, —Much concern seems to have been in evidence about the state of the Railway trucking yards. This matter I see was brought up at the council meeting last night. One councillor said he asked for something to be done three years ago. And I agree that was the time to get it done, if the council had been live wires, while their luck was in, when local bodies could get men to burn for the large sum of Is 8d per day; eight hours. Instead they (the Borough councillors and the untouchables) were wasting some of the best of New Zealand manhood; chipping grass off places where no grass grew—six in a gang, three with tools and three without, or wait till the first three got tired. Now, Sir, why was this so important job not done when the Coates and Forbes Farmer Government was all powerful? I suppose it was because of where will we get the money from. —Yours, etc., PRO BONO PUBLICO. July 21, 1938.
