"A GROSS SLANDER"
CONDITIONS AT FOXTON
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) POXTON, This Day. Resentment and indignation are expressed locally at the statement made by Mr. W. Bromley at Dunedin, ■ as published in the. Press,, to .'the effect that conditions are so bad in.Foxton that nobody pays rates or. storekeepers. The Mayor (Mr. Perreau), in a statement to the Press, says that the statement constitutes a gross slander on citizens, who are quite as honourable' in this respect as those of any other town in the world. Considerable hardship was suffered by a portion of the community through unemployment, which Mr. Bromley had it in his power to remedy materially. The unqualified denunciation of the whole community by Mr. Bromley was entirely unwarranted. "
