A CORRECTION.
TO TIIK UIITOK. Sik, — In your repoi t of the pioceedimr* of the, Piako County Council, in ymn i-.mii; <>f the 12th inst., it is stated that'J " li.ul dishonoured my deposit cheque" "when pi o sented at the blink," re, Tiiotaoron eontiact. As there is an unfair insinuation in the .statement, you will, I am sure, give mo space to reinos c it by Minify Htatmg the truth, namely, that the cheque in question was a marked one cm rent fur ten d.iy-. instead of seven as the council had rc(|U)io(]. Anyone who knows much about cheque-. knows, 1 need h.irdly remark, that such a chequecouldnotbedUhonouied The worthy council ought, I should think, bo cindid enough to confess tli.it then keeping contractors for weeks in suspense, afterha\inf* icceived their tendcis waiting to know if they, the council, shall, after all, ha\e funds or not, isnotqiiitcasitNfnctoiy w.vyof tiansacting public business. To forget thN, and then to turn round and cast an unfair insinuation upon the contiactor, is, I bau almost said, clunacteristic of mo.st of our loe.il bodies'. Ki'irrettiug being compt'llud to trepass on your \aluable space,— I am, John O'Donouuk, Contiactoi. Waihou, M.uchlith.
