THOSE WICKED ART UNIONS.
(By "SINBAD.")
The men who hope to bridge the Waitemata proposed to put on foot a lottery, but Coates their project has contrived to shatter, for flatly he's declared it cannot be. Says he: "If Imy private view may mention anent the enterprise you have in hand, art unions are the devil's own invention, and should be wholly barred throughout the land. Some tinpot body finds that it is stony, and seeks permission such a show to hold, but, as for mc, I'd rather back a pony than thus aspire to get a pile of gold. The thrift-promoting instincts of the nation by methods such as these are always killed, 60. as a bif of counsel, I would say, 'Shun art unions if your harbour bridge you'd build! , ' . It's not an ideal way of raising money; a lottery is wrong, without a doubt. So Gordon's right. But, still, it's rather funny, it's taken him so long to find it out.
