NASSELLA TUSSOCK
Sir, —I do not see much point in the letter of “As I See It” which appears in to-day’s issue of “The Press’’: what exactly does he want done to cope with <he nassella tussock menace? An unconvincing and confused statement regarding politicians, local body aspirants, blackberry, gorse, rabbits, inspectors with lucrative jobs, and illdeserved—mark the words ill-deserved —notoriety to North Canterbury, seems more like a pocket of hot air from a modern Tower of Babel, than direct common sense founded on stern /eality. To cut the matter short—and I am dealing with nassella tussock only—my remedy is. first control by the Government only; second, for those who cannot or will hot rid themselves of the role of being public nuisaqpes, or public polluters, confiscation of the properties they occupy. —YourS, etc., LAND IS SACRED. July 30, 1947.
