TRAMWAY EXTENSION.
(To the Editor.), - Sir,—When is New Plymouth going to cast off its dark-coloured spectacles and get clearer vision? When I arrived in this charming little town a few yearn before, the war and bought property in Fitzroy,.. I was assured by ;he general public, that I was a fool, that I would never: get my m.oney...back, that New Plymouth would never be a town; that, in fact, nobody wanted/it to be any-; thing but what it was, a-sleepy little backwash. :
New blood gradually gained ground’ and New Plymouth was pushed ahead. When the trama came to Fitzroy I found that section buyers came out and gave me good prices for my building sites. Every other property-holder must have benefited to the same extent. The other suburbs' are helping to pay for the trams that have’ made us the popular area in New Plymouth. Now we have got all we can get out of the trams let us band together and help .another -suburb get the same transport benefits. Let us cast out our mean spirit, broaden our views, and at least treat others as well as they are treatinir us.—l arsi; etc., FITZROY ratepayer.
