Eleven years ago, when Tim the Waipoua River hit Waii'HUA a slice off the town bank, Thouiiw: wc recommended the
Borough Council to plant and maintain a row of Willows to prevent further' encroachments. The remedy was so simple, so obvious, and so inexpensive, that one might have expected even a Masterton Borough Council to adopt it, But it did not -it is a way it lias —a way it always had! When a thing requires doing, it does not do it; and when a tiling ought not to be done, it does it. Still the ratepayers are as contented as the trout in the Masterton fish-ponds, and as long as this is the case we must continue to hope for much and expect little from tho municipal fathers.
