While the council is sowing " seeds of kindness" upon the green patches of the eart-h, let a tew seeds be scattered where they are most needed. The winter is upon us, and some of the men will find it difficult to find the 5s levy that is now due. May 1 suggest that-a sufficient sum of money be voted by the council to pay the levy of those married relief workers of our city who, through incsfpacity, are exempt from camp life. I was going to suggest other measures of relief, but "one step enough lor me." —I am, etc., A City Ratepayer. Dunedin, May 9.
