Times a few days since wrote to the claims of Municipal bodies .on the Provinces ; it. was -a.well written article, and ; pointed, out that if the smaller, bodies secured local reserves they must ex pect to incur liabilities for hospitals, police, &c. The Post followed and tried to shield the Provincial Govern ment1!, on ; the igaoU and hospital business, as a white elephant, andtried to -throw- tlie;-Wellington City Council-intothe General Govern ment. Ths citizens .wore, ,told that 'the seat of Government being- at Wel lington " actually decreases the con tribution towards the Municipal re venue."'

Corporation in the matter of wharfage. This is a partof the article, but I don'.t under stand it :—-"There is no other town in New Zealand in which there is one iif'fch of the street frontage occupied by Government, that there "is here?'
