A letter argues against rushing $11,000 in road repairs and a $5 per half-section tax. It notes wartime rainfall and soil saturation raise costs, questions borrowing and plan validity, and urges public review of the council’s expenditure plan before approval. It emphasizes fairness to ratepayers and calls for wider discussion.
