OTHER PEOPLE’S IDEAS
BOROUGH WATER SUPPLY (To the Editor.) Sir.--The Mayor says: "The hundreds of law abiding citizens." He would have a job to find hundreds. Let him even ask his councillors and inspectors if any of them have ever broken the hosing laws. He would. I think get a shock. The Borough Council of Masterton has messed about with the water problem for years and wasted money and seems bent on wasting more on an inadequate scheme. Thirty per cent more water is totally inadequate. I know at least one street in the town where one could drink all the water from a tap during hosing hours. Ratepayers are not going to be fooled into voting for such a scheme which at the best is only putting off the evil day. Lei us have the full scheme now, even if it docs increase our rates a bit. The Mayor's explanation of the 10s fid costs is not bad. It looks as though the Borough gets a rake-off. In conclusion. Sir. I would like the Mayor and his Yes-men to know that my family will have to go without all their few pleasures and some necessities for weeks to come to enable me to pay a fine for trying to grow vegetables. —I am. etc., ' G.A.S. Masterton, February 27.
