KUROW PUNT AS A PUBLIC BENEFIT.
(To the Editor of the Oamabu Times.) SlB, — Allow me a small space in your column! to make a few remarks contradictory to the heading of these few lines — the punt being nothing more nor less than erected for the private and pecuniary benefit of a few as a company - and to give publicity to the fact that no traveller can get across in the evening unless there be two or more passengers with him. At the sam* time the manager, C. Hille, will, should he think they have no money, put or cause them to be put across rather than keep them all night ; but if they have horses or money they are carefully detained till the morning. Should you, Mr Editor, , oblige by inserting these few lines, it may benefit the public, by eliciting correspondence, which may dispel the dissatisfaction now existing between' the Kurow Punt Company and the public generally. ' \ By-the-bye, I should like to ask you what virtue there is in an honest man paying for a license to aell spirituous liquors, while others who have no license sell liquors in various shanties with impunity. Yours &c, Passekgxk.
