LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

(1) Letters sent to the Editor for printing should preferably be typed, otherwise they must be written in ink on one side of the paper only. A legible signature and full address are required whether these are to be published or not. A P.O. box number is not a sufficient address. (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. (4) Letters must not be of more than 150 words.

C. Fitzgerald.—You misapprehend the proposals. Santa Claus. —Largely a matter for individual shopkeepers, unless you are suggesting a charge on the rates. Mark D. Sadler. —We have no space to pursue the correspondence on the girls’ visit to a slaughterhouse. Pro Bono Public Houso.—No space just now—even if you observed our rules—for another discussion of the dog nuisance on beaches. S. W. Hickmott.—The Regional Planning Authority spends no money on reading; it is spent by constituent local authorities and by the National Roads Board when they consider works are necessary. The traffic plans of metropolitan local authorities must be co-ordinated, because streets cannot end at county boundaries, and the local bodies by special resolution asked the Regional Planning Authority to do the detailed work for them. No member of the Regional Planning Authority receives any honorarium.
