THE LIMIT.
The rather astonishing information vouchsafed to the Stratford County Council yesterday to the ('fleet that having borrowed £5001) from the State (Jnaranteed Advances Department hy way of loans for various works, it coaid not borrow any more money from the Department, and that it would be useless to make any further applications, will come at a severe blow to local bodies and settlers in tb: 1 backblocks generally. To make such a limit for the great area of new country comprised in the Stratford County is unite absurd, and we cannot believe that such a restriction as nor’ imposed was over intended. At any rat', the matter requires immediate ait'itiion and the Council’s protest made at yesterday’s meeting was fully justified. The suggestion to stir up of! er County Councils in tec Dominion to the seriousness of the position was also a wise step.
