GREY HALF HOLIDAY
[TO THE EDITOR.]
Sir. —Contrary to your correspondent, “Fair Play’’ I should like to say a word of praise to those gentlemen of the Greymouth Borough Council who are meeting to reconsider the question of another poll. I believe they are doing this not as a matter of. injustice to any one,, or of what they as business men may be losing, but to, try and rectify a great injustice that has been done to a great number of country people who can only come to town on the Saturday afternoon. I haven’t the faintest idea who your correspondent is, probably one who has saved enough dough from country people to last him through and does not care a D- — now what becomes of them, .He talks about the other men being selfish, etc., if he is not, why worry re another vote. Don’t confine the boundaries to the town but make a circle from Kumara Junction, Otira and Totara Flat. Greymouth would be a poor place without the country people, so why deprive them of a day. Yours etc., HAY SEED 1
