INDIGNATION AT FOXTON
SLUR ON TOWN REFUTED.
PEOPLE MEETING OBLIGATIONS.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) * Foxton, this day.
Resentment and indignation is expressed locally at the statement made by Mr. Bromley at Dunedin as published in the press, to the effect that conditions are so bad in Foxton that nobody paid any rates or the storekeepers. The Mayor, Mr. Perreau, says this statement constitutes a gross slander on citizens who are quite as honourable in this respect as those of any town in the world. Considerable ■hardship is being suffered by a portion of the community through unemployment, which Mr. Bromley has in his power to remedy materially. The unqualified denunciation of the whole community by Mr. Bromley is entirely unwarranted.
