"THIRDS" IN THE RANGITATA ROAD DISTRICT.

TO THB EDITOB* Sir,—l have just read a letter signed C. J. Harper," on the subject of a petition from some thirty leaseholders, desiring that their funds may be placed in the hands of the County Council for expendi- In this letter Mr Harper states—"The effect will probably now be that, all further payments on account of " thirds " will be withheld for some time, as it was before when Mr E. G. Wrighc started the agita tion j but for that the water would have been through every section a year ago, and many miles of roads made and fit to travel on." To say that I»m astonished at the audacity of Mr Harper's statement would be to imperfectly express my feel ings. It is a notorious fact that Mr Harper and his friends did their utmost to keep me out of Parliament at the last election, alleging fvery justly) that I should put a stop to their nefarious de signs upon these " thirds," which they were seeking to appropriate in lieu of payments out of their own pockets for ordinary rates. . When I had exposed their designs, and shown the perpetual leaseholders and others the exact nature of their claims upon these "thirds," and secured their application first of all for water supply purposes, then Mr Harper seeing his little game was defeated tried to humbug the people, and ro persuade these leaseholders that he was »lways most desirous to give them water, and that my action delayed t. For barefaced audacity in the way of misrepresentation, Mr C. J. Harper has few equals, but his persistent efforts to injure me by this process will probably recoil upon his own head. —I am, etc., Edward G. Weight. Wellington, October 8.

THE HALF-HOLIDAY.

TO THK EDITOR. Sir —Seeing that we are to have a half holiday, as passe<? by Act of Parliament, it is to be hoped that the employers of Ashburton will see their way to have a general closing of business places, say on Wednesday afternoons, if only for the summer months ; and if after that they see it cannot be worked to their advantage it could then be arranged for the em ployees to get away in batches ; but 1 hope by that time the employers as well as the employees will see the benefit of a ceneral half holiday,—l am etc., ° Employee. Ashburton, October 18.
