RE DRAINAGE BOARD.
Sir,—lt was with great interest that I read your-valuable sub-leader *on the above subject in this mtiming's issue. I am glad to see that the Auckland City Council has had the backbone to decliwe to have anything to do with the. proposal of the Newmarket Borough Counoil for the formation of a Metropolitan. Drainage Board. The proposal shows that the Newmarket Council was in sympathy with Mr. Myers' scheme of amalgamation, but their selfishness prevented them from saying so, and now they, want to pick out the plums, so to speak, because they can see that it would vastly benefit- their borough to have the co-opera-tion of the Auckland-City Council, without, running the risk of having their little schemes on other matters upset, . when scrutinised and criticised by such far-seeing and broad-minded men as Mr. Arthur Myers. If only some more of.the members of our local bodies wore men of his stamp all this narrow-mindedness would soon ' disappear, and all would work for the benefit of the whole, instead of everyone working separately and no material benefit resulting, as at present. - X.Y.Z. July 6. i
