Work Awaiting.
Dear Sir, —It seems there is no work for our unfortunate unemployed. There is not the necessity for a subway at that rotten Colombo Street railway crossing, there is r.o necessity for a modern city such as ours to have a crematorium, there is not even a chance of a port with sorting sheds, etc. I am rather amused at the talk of tunnel road advocates. We have a Harbour Board that wanted cranes. They had the great wide world in which to find out the best crane. They have four different kinds. The first they imported is the best. The Harbour Board’is getting some more. They should send someone away on a world trip to find out what any watersider can tell them. They, a wealthy body, have cut labour to the limit, and in a further letter I will describe some of the jokes of this body, in charge of a port where, according to the evidence of officials, there is no surge.—l am, etc., OBSERVER.
