Letters sent to the Editor for printing must be written in ink on one side of the paper only, and writers must send in their names and addresses in full, whether they wish these to be printed or not. 2. Writers must say clearly whether or not their letters are being or have been sent to other papers. 3 The Editor cannot return or keep any letter which for any reason is unsuitable for printing, nor can he acknowledge unsuitable letters, although this will be done where it seems to be needful, or enter into any correspondence about letters sent in. 4 Letters must not be of more than 150 words in length. F.L.—Letters limited to 150 words. MAYORAL AND MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS Sir, —“A Son of a Pioneer” is awaiting some movement to be made to petition the Minister to have the municipal elections postponed for 12 months. The carrying on of the centenary celebrations is one thing; the altering of the election date for 12 months is another. Six months should be sufficient. No doubt independents will protect the position as far as the Mayor, Mr E. H. Andrews, is concerned; but work has been done by Mr Andrews that should be carried on and expanded where necessary, and revised where progress has been halted. Six months would show what interpretation those who have charge of the celebrations have placed on its importance.—Yours,’ etc., „ , H. BLISS. February 3, 1950. Grandson of pioneer, 1851, S. S. Travancore. RISING PRICES
