OPINIONS OF OUR READERS. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Sir, —In your issue of the 10th inst you give a lengthy report of the local Chamber’s deliberations. In my oldfashioned reasoning I always understood these Chambers were to function for the good of the town or district generally, not in the interest of one or two individuals. Now, in the absurd agitation for a Mutu Street Bridge—who were the disinterested speakers? Whose business interests were they in hopes of improving? Which were the beauties being denied the travelling public? Why were the said public being denied the use of the Racecourse Road to the railway station? Do not these enlightened persons know that Mutu Street is quite unfitted for through traffic, not to mention its three dangerous intersections? I trust our Borough Councillors will not for a moment think of penalising the whole of the ratepayers in the interests of a few. If the local Chamber is interested in roads,, I suggest they employ their powers in obtaining la. road from the Puniu Road somewhere near the railway line to Rewi Street or Frontier Road; also a stock road from Paterangi Road, skirting the racecourse to Racecourse Road.—l am, etc., HONESTY.
