ONEHUNGA TRANSPORT.
With reference to the letter from "Buzz," I draw his attention to the fact that every Liberal M.P. in the House voted in favour of the buses and I maintain that it was the duty of Mr. Jordan to assist the Liberal Party and not to vote with the Coates Government to drive the buses off the road and abolish private enterprise. The result has been that Onehunga has received a staggering blow by having for the past ten years to pay over fifty per cent increased tram fares and there is no doubt how the electors will vote at the coming election. "Buzz" states that no one will b» able to defeat Mr. Jordan. I beg to differ. At the last election there was no Liberal candidate, and Mr. Jordan received the Liberal and Labour votes and the votes of a good number of disgruntled Reformers. However, this time there will be a strong Liberal candidate, a prominent and successful local business man, born in Onehunga. ANTI-MONOPOLY.
