POINTS FROM LETTERS
"Playfail" draws attention to a fine of £50 recently imposed for interfering with a telephone, and contrasts this with penalties of £5 for cruelty to animals, the latter offences (in the correspondent's opinion) being much more serious and deserving heavier punishment. "Unemployed" calls attention to the cargoes of coal coming to New Zealand for household use. and asks West Coast momberfe of Parliament to take up the question with the Government. "If the Australian coal could bo kept out of the New Zealand retail merchants' yards and they were compelled to take New Zealand coal for household use the mines on the West Coast would no longer be held up two and three days n week. Surely New Zealand coal is good mo ugh for the household."
