THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL’S VISIT.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir.—l am rather surprised at Mr Robert Brown's letter in to-night’s ‘Evening Star.' Dees Mr Brown not know that Dunedin was founded by the Dree Church of Scotland, and that the hirst Church is tin* historical church of Otago? When His Majesty lying (merge visits Scotland he attends the Presbyterian Church, and it is only fitting that his representative should attend tnat church in Dunedin. Our Oovernoi'-Geiieral is an elder of the Presbyterian Church, and it is only courteous to ask him to altfiid that church bore —f am, etc., Jawks Brown. January 27. 11 DURING. to thu Knrroa. Sir, —''Glasgow's” letter in to-day’s is sue carries meivly a local interest; his argument, with the Bev. Mr Paine does not interest us. Ghisgownious arc capable oi looking after themselves. Moreover. Glasgow has alwavs been h!e?s r d with public men who “ mean what they say,” and translate “ we.nls into deeds.’ (Tore we enjoy (he maximum amount, of humbug and camouflage on the round globe, with (In- minimum of action. “ Glasgow ■’ asks,’" Has the corporation hero done anything practical to solve the. housing problem?” and provides tho answer "No.” And the corporation doesn’t want to. Of this there can be no doubt. More Hum sixty years ago Dunedin city was endowed with land between Wingatui and Mosgid to provide homes for the overflow from a conceded area such as Dunedin. The land cost nothing. It is within twelve minutes of the heart of Dunedin, has a hotter climate, has electric light, high pressure water, and sewerage surrounding it, and is free from the city's penal rating. But there is no “ bachsheesh ” for anyone in developing this boon for the public ; consequently neither interest nor action by the. Press or public bodies.—-I am. etc., JI: ;! 1 s. Not Words.
