Conditions in Foxton
. Sir, —My attention has been drawn to a statement made by Mr. Bromley in Dunedin, published in “The Dominion” to the effect that nobody in Eoxton pays their rates, and nobody pays their storekeeper. This sweeping statement constitutes a gross slander on the citizens of the town, who are quite as honourable in this respect as those of any town in the world. Considerable hardship is being suffered by a large portion of the community through unemployment, which Mr. Bromley has it in his power to help remedy materially, bu,t even these unfortunate citizens pay their just debts when in a position to do so. . , The unqualified denunciation of. the whole community by Mr. Bromley is entirely unwarranted, and is very strongly resented by the whole town. —I am, etc., M. E. PERREAU, Mayor of Eoxton. December 6, 1930.
