CONDENSED CORRESPONDENCE.
"Another Tin Fence Owner," Devonport, comments on the extraordinary zeal of the Borough Council in notifying a ratepayer that a tecoma plant protruding three feet beyond a "tin fence" six foot high could not be allowed. He asks why it is that the existence of a live fence nine feet high, and projecting quite four and a-half feet on the highway, escapes the observation of such a vigilant local governing body. "One of the Toilers" writes suggesting that as economy is being strongly urgei in Parliament, the members of the try might set an example by reducing their own salaries. Mr. J. Drummond writes urging tho inspection of liquors. He says: "While the Licensing Committee are very concerned about repairs and boys, etc., why not help to see that a purchaser gete what he asks for, and, further, is charged full price for. Inspection ia very active in mill;:, etc. Well, surely it is not asking too much to make an fcotolkeeper give you according to the brand ,on the bottle."
