WORK FOR THE UNEMPLOYED.
TO THE EDITOB Of THE PBBSB. Sir, —The Waimairi Council has in hand some £6OOO for road work passed by a special poll of the ratepayers of North Beach some eight years ago. The ratepayers have been clamouring for the work to be done—particularly the formation of the Beach road to the sea. The New Brighton Council has also money raised for the same purpose and for the same road, which is a boundary one. There is no earthly reason why the work cannot be started at once and so ease the unemployment position. It seems hardly fair to uie that the City should create special work for relief purposes when the counties and boroughs will not even proceed with work already sanctioned by the ratepayers. I challenge the Mayor of New Brighton and the chairman of the Waimairi Council to give one satisfactory reason whv the work 'cannot be started at once.—Yours, etc., L DODGING IT.
