LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

(1) Letters to be considered for this column must not exceed 150 words. They should be on only one side of the paper; preferably typewritten, otherwise clearly written in ink; and ample margins and space between lines should be left for convenience in sub-editing. (2) A legible signature and full address—not a P.O. box number — are required whether these are to be printed or not (3) The correspondent must say whether the letter has been or is to be submitted elsewhere. (4) The editor cannot return or keep any letter not accepted for printing; nor does he undertake to acknowledge or enter into correspondence concerning tetters, although an acknowledgment will be made where this seems to be necessary or helpful (5) As a general rule, correspondence on news items in other publications, or carried on radio and television, is not acceptable. Common Sense.—Closed. Politicsport.—See rules above. Jas. Shaskey.—You should complain to your local council. L.G.W.—The personal reflections are inadmissible; and your complaints about the present civic administration should be specific, not general. W. R. Schofield.—Only analysis of air samples can be regarded as proof; and these are the basis of the “laboratory assurances” you decry.
