PRIVATE RAILWAY SIDINGS
TO THE BDITOB O? TUB MESS Sir, —Referring to the letters of "Commerce" tvnd "Business" about the refusal of the Government to grant a reduction of 20 per cent, in the rent of private railway sidings, in accordance with'the terms of the National Expenditure Adjustment Act, I would like to point out that there is a little clause in this Act which says that the Government is bound by the terms of the Act. This legislation has been accepted by all the people who have had to make the reductions in the spirit of recognition that it was an attempt upon the part of the Government to do something to solve the troubles at present besetting New Zealand ; but the spectacle of the Government quibbling and trying to veriggle out of taking its own medicine is certainly not a dignified one. What the .Government preaches it should practise.—Yours, etc., TRADE. August Bth, 1932.
