CAMBRIDGE BOROUGH AFFAIRS.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,— ln to-day's issue of The Waikato Times I observe that "Cockatoo" clashes me with those who oppose the Order-in-Council asking for an extension of the time for holding the borough elections at Cambridge. In this your correspondent is in error. Whon it was found 'that tha d*te for holding the election had passed, I not only wrote strongly in the Press urging that an Order-in-CounciL should be applied for, but I also signed the petition asking that an Order-in-Council should bo granted. , My action has been consistent all through, as I stated both privately and publicly that the ratepayers were entitled to an election, and I believe that if such were held it would tend to heal the "running sore," from which Cambridge now suffers, and which will, I fear, disastrously attend its future by preventing unanimity of action on any question, no matter how good it may be for the place. I should not have troubled you but that I have a decided objection to being misrepresented, even though it may be from error on the part of your correspondent. — Yours truly, G. W. Russell. Cambridge, October 7th.
