Lewis Pass
Sir,—l object strongly to the letter of P. J. Couch ’(March 14), no doybt written in a comfortable all-electric home in Nelson. I question the objection to power and phone services to Boyle residents, permanent or otherwise. I consider I have the right to comment as I live in the Lewis Pass area and have only had the convenience of power and phone for 15 years. When I look at a power pole I think of progress, comfort, safety and economy. Telephone poles mean communication, contact, convenience and, most importantly, life or death in the case of an accident. The things I find ugly on our roads are tins, bottles, rubbish, disposable nappies and unwanted cats and dogs thrown out of travellers’ cars. Plaudits for the Power Board and P. and T. men who provide and maintain their services in all weather, not parsimony please.—Yours, etc., JOSIE BLACKADDER, $ Springs Junction. z March 20, 1981,
