I 'J ho father cf tho girl assured uh tlmt ho had placed nor under tlio care of several medical : men nho had failed to do her any good, despite i tho money ho hadlavish.d upon hoA The next I was a ca*e of jMi-s Hughes, a Duiiedm res.dent, who stated that *he had been dtaf for a period ef owr ihree years. drango to Say, sho luis oniy been under treatment for oigiit days, and , ' her Inuring has been fully restored. This foituuato girl is nearly In ecstacieu over her i good fortune.

f Correspondence. .» BOKOUGH COUNCIL BALANCE SHEET. (To the Editor.) SIE, la your footnote to my letter on the above topic, you appear to me to bavc dealt with the subject without bestowing that care in seeking for facts which usually makes your articles so thoroughly reliable. You say that Wellington with a tateable value of 241,000, as against Auckland's 155,000, ought to have collected a Jargcr sum in rate 3 than Auckland, during the half year ending March 31st. l£Bo, and because it did not, you contend that the work of collection was baJly done. Now, I think i shall have very little difficulty in proving to you, just the opposite of this. What are the facts, assuming your figures as before to be correct, for I have not yet seen the balance-sheet to which you reter—why, just these, that in the first half of the year, after the rate was struck in both Boron ia, viz., that ending September 30th, IS/y, Wellington had collected by their outside collectors, £5,574 2s 6d, whilst Auckland had only collected £1,462 15s 6d, showing a difference in favour of Wellington of £4,111 7s. Having therefore collected so much of its rates in the first half-year, it stands to reason that it could not collect them in the second half-year. If you take therefore the amount collected by the aforesaid borough for the 12 months ending March 31st, 1880, you will have the following result, viz. '• Wellington, £10,745 12s; Auckland, £7,463 13s sd, which I think you will agree i? a result altogether different to (hat which your readers were asked to accept in the first paragraph of yonr paper upon this subject, proving that the information fur nished to you was calculated to mislead. In the latter part of your note you have not dealt with your usual fairness. In it you suggest that I held np Wellington as a model borousrb, and then go on to speak of the condition of its streets. If you will refer to my letter you will find that I never wrote one word about the Engineer depart ment, either of Wellington or Auckland, for the simple reason that atter visiting almost every province in New Zealand, I am convinced that Auckland, either because it has better material with which to make its roads, or an abler Engineer, or perhaps both combined, has streets superior to any of them.—l am, &c, Tub Other Side of the Question; [Our correspondent has changed his ground. In hh letter on Saturday he said : " The fact of there being a larger number of ratepayers does not prove tbat there was a larger amount of rates to be collected, but it does prove this, that a larger amount of work had to be performed." We replied : " The valuation of £241,386 for Wellington and the larger municipal area may fairly be presumed to yield a much higher rate than the £155,047 assessment in Auckland." Our correspondent ncv admits this, and feeling that it cuts away the ground from under his first letter, which offered in extenuation of the small collection ia the Empire City, "the fearful depression in Wellington," he dropa that line altogether, and goes back upon some former balance sheet which is not in our possession, and then treats our reply as though yre, and not himself, had offered the misleading explana tion. Our footnote was inertly in reply to his letter, not to figures that had never before been adduced. The little para graph to which "The Other Side of the Question" objected in the first instance, simply placed side by side the rates col lected in the two cities, as shewn on the recently published municipal accounts. We have no material for further comparisons, and therefore cannot follow our correspon dent's new departure, but the accounts do bring out this one fact very clearly—that a practice obtains in Wellington of mixing up salaries among different departments in *uch a way that no person, except one well acquainted with the inner working cf the office, could tell exactly what any particular service costs. We understand that tho Wellington rate is struck on the Ist of April and the Auckland one on the Ist of June, which would account for the difference in the first half-year's collection.—Ed. E.S.] (To the Editor.) Sir, —Your correspondent, " The Other Side of the Question, " hardly puts the matter of the cost of collection of rates in Wellington fairly, and if lie imagines that the rates are collected there without almost the same amount of trouble, repeated notices, and legal expenses, he is somewhat misinformed. The Mayor of Wellington has stated that only about one-third ol tbo rates are collected outside their office, and that they have only two yearly rates against Auckland's one year, and four half-yearly collections (which nearly doubles the work of collection) ex clusive of asphalt rates, which are treble that of Wellington, so that it is evident other offices take part in the collec tion, and it is admitted that the valuer de votes nearly the whole of his time to his duties, for whici he receives about £300 per annum, and gives most valuable assist ance in recording daily the various changes in the ownership or occupation of proper ties, thus mainly facilitating the collection of all arrears. Their four officers of Valuer, Collector, Clerk, and Treasurer, receive something like £1005 per annum, against at present, four officers fully, and two officers partially employed in Auckland, £950, while the solicitors' costs in Welling ton are for the year, nearly treble that of Auckland. Christchurch employs two collectors [who receive £400, not including valuation cost, and have no water rate, endowment rents, abattoir fees, or free public library. Dunedin collection costs £1,595 per annum (exclusive of gas rate collectors or office) with no abattoirs, &c., and legal expenses about £900 per annum, against Auckland's average of about £250. The last balance-sheet from "Wellington with a rent roll of £3,660 shows arrears of £594 against Auckland's £363, with a rent roll of nearly £7,000. Thus it appears, viewing the totals, the fairest way at arriviug at a just comparison, that Auckland municipal matters are by no means extravagantly managed, although the system may happen to be different.— Yours, &c.j Both Sides.
