COUNTY COUNCIL APATHY.
TO TUB EDITOR. Sir, —Hearing there was some Government land to bo let, I, with others,- went to have a look at it. Whilst having a look round, it struck .me the Waimate Council is not doing : ts duty to those who may be fortunate enough to draw sections in the Ot-aio block. The gorse has been allowed to spend on the road from each side, and what, will be the result? As soon as some poor scvuggler gets a section ho will probably get a notice to clear gorse off the road. Y/hat I want to know is why did not the Waimate County Council make the owner clear the "gorse, like others have had to do? Thon.it Would have been done before the Government gdt possession of it. This is not the only case in New Zealand where capital has shifted its responsibility on to the shoulders of labour, but if we could be assured it would bo the last, we would all be thsfe' to the funeral to see that it was buried, not only decently, but very deep, so that a resurrection would be impossible.-—I am, etc., Observer.
