NEW BRIGHTON AMENITIES
Sir, —So New Brighton has come to its disillusionment, and expresses it as reported under the above heading in last Tuesday’s paper. Having no control of their own funds, they will go cap in hand to the City Council next Monday evening begging for some of their own. This situation was well envisaged in the Hornby district by a small dissenting minority, with the ultimate result that a county township was formed, instead of the glowing proposition put before us by visiting city councillors. “Come into my parlour, said the spider to the fly, ’tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy.” So the fly thinks, until it gets there and x then knows, but helplessly, what it was wanted for.— Yours, etc., ' W. R. EARLY, Hornby, June 20. 1953.
