PONSONBY OR DEDWOOD TRUSTEES, OR JENKINS V. JONES.
To lhe Editor of the Evening Star. Sir, —It was not my intention to make any reply to Mr Boardman's letter and your remarks thereon, but to leave the matter to the ratepayers of the district who are the parties most interested, but so many enquiries are made to me to know what is " wrong somewhere" that I am compelled to ask you to allow me the privilege of a short reply. In the first place your report is so garbled and muddled that no-reader can possibly understand it, and your contemporaries, although shorter, are no better. Mr. Jones was wrong because he did not appeal at the proper time, and Mr. Boardman is wrong when he says he has paid the rates upon the property bought from Mr. Jones. As regards any further enquiry I 'am ready at any time to answer for my conduct during the five years I have been collector, and to give full information of all I know respecting the mode of carrying on the business of the district.—l am, &c", Thomas Jenkins, Pitt-street.
