To the Editor of the "Norta-Cuina Dairy News."
Sir,—With reference to the veport of the ratepayers' meeting in yesterday's issue and the paragraph relating to the inability of Municipal employees to maintain a "'reasonable standard of living" under Tis, 300.—a young friend of mine who recently came out from home for the Customs service informs me that his monthly salary is Hk. Tls. 75. How is he to maintain a "reasonable standard of living" and "live decently?"
I am, ete., Pro Bone Custowo.
