Italo-Abyssinia situation—keep these articles up; they are a feature of the “ Advertiser and Times ”—with very great interest. Personally, however. I do not think wo should intervene in the least between Italy and Abyssinia, especially as we did not intervene when Japan annexed Alanchuria and in smaller but similar episodes else­ where. .If wo did not intervene in tlieso earlier affairs why should wc intervene now? Not a single British interest is involved, and Mussolini himself has said tho British Empire is in no way menaced

until and unless the Have-nots arc brought up to something like equality with the Haves, economically or territorially or both. So why restrain Italy from operating in a remote part of Africa in which we have not the smallest concern?

The rates were increased, and ns the owners of small properties began to feel the pinch they protested that it was monstrous that the levy on the land on which stood a big apartment house should be no more, area for area, than tiiat on their own small homos. I t was not fair, thev said, that the owner of a single dwelling should pay the same amount in rates as an owner who collected rents from the tenants of fifty suites. . . . . Up to that time, about 1911, [when the single-tax was introduced] the man who proposed to erect shops or houses on his property had had to con­ sider that the more he spent the more he would have to pay in rates. Now. however, one could buy a piece of hind for one or two thousand pounds, build a large apartment house or ofliee-bund- ings on it at a cost of twenty or thiits or^fortv thousand pounds, and pay no more in rates than the owner oi an adjoining and exactly similar proport} occupied'hv nothing hut a dwelling-house

Inc proof of the pudding is in the eating thermit, lielow Mr. Hamilton s letter is Mi. Xorcross’s letter. Mr. Douglas, to^ whom tli'. Xorcross is replying, admits that there is land of no productive value in Vancouver and observes: “ Vancouver should sell the land that it has taken over in lieu of taxes ” On which Mr. Xorcross comments: “ 1 a in quite suro that tho civic authorities would he glad to be told how to do tins.

COUNCIL’S INSPECTION.


FURTHER BIG >MPROVEMENTS FORESHADOWED.


Rural District Council of tho Howland" roads revealed conditions far from pleasing and when members wero inclined to despair of ever getting the highways into decent order. , Earlier still, road inspections wero not undertaken for everybody was only too painfully awaro of the wretchedness of tho surfacing and tho collapse of tlio founda­ tions. This was tho period in which Howland roads wero not so much noted as notorious. Tho roads wero described as disgraceful in tho newspapers and far worso''epitliets were employed by the motor­ ing journals. The Council became road- conscious to a degree but wlmt could ihey do with 110 miles of highway to look after with a jicuny late producing only about £i00? The" burden of the roads seemed likely to bankrupt the farmers and every­ body else and it was only by the introduc­ tion of a system of raising big loans and spreading repayments over a long number of years that the Council was able to faco tho problem and then to tacklo it. Con­ siderable changes wero soon mndo and the first of the organised road inspections was held to give the members an opportunity of seeing the work done. They wero forced to agree that headway was being made hut they shook their heads glumly at the cost, and pointed to tho many miles of road still requiring repair. Loan charges began to swallow more and moro of tho rates, leav­ ing too little for routine repairs, and it was a relief and a blessing when the legis­ lature eventually transferred the respon­ sibility for the roads from tlio rural authorities to the County Councils. Xot overbody applauded the change hut experi­ ence lias shown, in Howland’s area at any rate, tiiat the Rural Council could never with its limited resources have dealt com­ prehensively with the problem. After a!J, these roads are not used by local traffic nearly as much as by traffic from afar ami the bunion of making and maintaining tho highways can no longer bo regarded as a

over the Howland road commitments and responsibilities in 1027 and sineo then lingo sums have been allocated to the district. As Air. .lames Hinchlilfe, the Howland Sur­ veyor, observed on Friday, when another road inspection took place, the Council had made useful steps towards iinprovhig the position before tho County Council camo along but thev had reached almost the end of their tether and could never have raised the imilionso amounts which have been re­ quired. Instead of thousands. Air. ilincli- liife has had tens of thousands to spend, lie has spent that money with the maximum of practical effect and to-day the Howland roads, so far from being a reproach, aro among tlio best rural roads in the country. There is work still to he done, but the maul arteries of the district and the majority of the veins, too, arc now in exceedingly good order. A bumpy length at Sawloy, a scries of dangerous corners and narrow lanes which omnibus services have converted into main roads, and fairly long sections through the moors above Dale Head remain to ho tackled hut the poor roads are now far out-numbered bv the good. '1 bus the Council set out last Friday ill a pro.ttv satisfied frame of mind and returned with their earlier impressions improved. They found tho chief roads in splendid order and when thev were taken on to the moorland trac ks linking Dale Head with Hcntham and told these, too. wero to he made good for motor traffic, they could only marvel at tho astonishing changes which have occurred. Rural councillors are sometimes scornful ot tho slow-moving processes of tho County Council, thinking that a great deal of time is wasted in getting this and that corner attended to. On Friday they saw the manv improvement' carried out in the course of a few years and found reason rer pleasure. The work done has been good work and though delay in making needed changes has occurred, and will continue to occur, the jobs will got done in tunu Umv" land has in recent years had a fair, indeed a generous, share of the cash available. J ho money lias been spent to such advantage that there arc sanguine hopes that ftirtner supplies will not he withheld.

One or two of the hi'diwavs might ns well linyo been ill a foreign* country for nil some of the members know about them. Having examined them, tlio councillors can now form opinions.
