REPAIRS TO BRIDGE
. Sir,—"Low Gear” writes of the Winters road bridge. He points out the appalling dilapidation of this structure and all its faults. The Waimairi County clerk says “Low Gear” must write to the council, as well, before the complaint is investigated. What an infernal cheek! The council’s job as a local body and servant to the public is to watch for things like this, and get on with the repairs long before residents have to write to the paper or waste time in needless correspondence. The Waimairi councillors, revelling in their petty parochialism, consistently oppose the city s officers from the town planning officer downwards; and my personal regret is that the present Government has neither the courage nor the intelligence to put into effect the findings of the impartial King’s Commission.— Yours, etc., FANNY ADAMS. February 21, 1951. t
