TAIERI RIVER IMPROVEMENT
TO THE EDITOR. Siu, —As the cost of the Taieri flood protection works was £212,000,. and the Government is asking only £70,000 from the landholders in the Taieri. another Government has made a present of £130,000 to the landholders, which the taxpayers have to find. You state that there is no thought of repudiation. I cannot agree with that statement. As a matter of fact, we have sent deputations to Wellington to try to persuade the Government to wipe off this £70,000. The Gov-
eminent has treated the landholder of the Taieri very generously indeed when it is asking a refund only of £76,000 out of a total expenditure of £212,000. —I am, etc., Farmer. Outram, December 13.
