[ADVT. ] AN OPEN LETTER. TO WHOAI IT MAY CONCERN. REFERRING to my statement, tit Mr. Donnelly’s meeting at Papitkma tli.it Mr. Sim-im was im the Lite Clive River Board defaulters’ list, and for which Air. Simson. called me a liar more than om-e. , and said that he had paid his rates and held the, receipt, 1 hereby re-| pea t my statement and give Air. , Simson opportunity to have m\ statement tested. Ihe documents i in Mr. Bissell's possession, and passed by Government auditor,, disclose the fact I stated. < JOHN LANE. : L ADVT. J ' j THE PAPAKURA ELECTION. ; In the face of the gross and un- : warranted attack made on my, “father-in-law” by Air. G. P. i Donnelly at his Papakura meeting! last evening, 1 must publish this! and the enclosure, which is the of-: ficial advertisement of the Clive ’ River Board at the time of the poll! for the £*]o.ooo loan, ami in which' was embodied what has since been 1 called Air. Nelson's scheme. Air. Donnelly spoke of Air. Nelson’s i scheme to divert the Tutaekuri tO| the Waitangi. Your readers will see there is no reference wdiatcver to diverting the Tutaekuri, but' only provision for the overflow. At ; the same rime refeieiice was made to Mr. Nelson'-, evil work in reclaiming Napier South. Perhaps; some of vour readers might be able to exnlam how. if it WAS Mr. Nelsot.'s " -cl emo ” lo divert Hie Tutaekuri. lie was going lo reclaim Napier South without the riy < r to carry the silt . Many cruel and unjust remarks yverc made as to spoliation of the people but not one word as to the, fbnd port ion of the reclaimed land handed over free of cost to the Harbour Board nor of the enormous sum of money : spent in wages to labour and Irma! tlienee into cneula.l ion through i Napier. This was the kind of "truth" I was subjected to last evening, and which eventually, I. am i-oriy to say raised by indignation overmuch. 1 offered Air. Donnelly the advertised scheme yvherewnii lo refresh his memory, but ho indignantly declined. It is hardly necessary for me to remark that Mr. William Nelson was not present.
