THE UNEMPLOYED.
Sir, —We have heard much- of late ) respecting the unemployed and the scarcity of employment, &c. I noticed in j ' passing by tram to Napier a few days ago -that the grass growing on the line of railway between Paid Paki and Farndos •would yield a large quantity of excellent seed; .As I am not aware that the "railway- authorities utilise either the grass or the seed, rather than it should waste would it sot be better to allow ■ sptne of the unemployed to cut the grass referred to, those with families having : the preference ? A reap hook woulo. be the only tool required. They would find a ready sale for the different seeds (cocks>f6ot, prairie, tall fescue, &c.), and would be able to earn good wages. I commend • the suggestion to your worthy Mayor, who* is also, I believe, chairman of the Charitable Aid Board.— l am, &c, Colonist.
