CORRESPONDENCE.

fOm correspondents opinions are thcii own; the responsibility of editorial items makes sufficient ballast for the editor's shoulders. It is necessary that all letters for publication should bear the name of the writer — not necessarily foi publication, but as evidence of good faith.)

TO THE EDITOR,

SIR, —In your issue of Bth August, the following letter appeared : " SIR, —Thanks primarily to the WAIPA POST, we have a Chamber of Commerce,'thanks next to the Rev. Father Lynch, that newly-constitutecfbocly has been given something (a town clock) to try its hand upon. It now remains to be seen whether the Council of that body is deserving of the confidence reposed in each member when .elected. In spite of that dissentient voice at the public meeting, it is to.be hoped that the Council of the Chamber of Commerce will remember that town clocks are not made of Te Kuiti metal, nor roads made passable with pessimistic groans." Since the date of that letter two things have been proved on which Te Awamutn may congratulate itself —one is the life and usefulness of the Chamber of Commerce ; the other the dead flat uselessness of that dissentient voice.—l am, etc., GET-A-MOVE-ON.
