Discrimination Felt

a New Hazelton,-March 11
fiditor Omineca Herald
Dear Sir:—There appears to be
4, Ba good deal of ‘discrimination by
Meethe public works department
against New Hazelton. Goverh-
ment teams can work all around
fold Hazelton streets, up to South
Hazelton station and out to Two
(Mife. But goyernment teams do
ot get beyond Two Mile. Prob-
bly the men have to hurry back
min to lunch by twelve o’clock and |;
flikewise nt night.
Manhas been next to impossible to
muse any of the streets in New
Hazelton or from here te Two
AMile. It is avery short sighted
olicy that is being followed and
gNew Hazelton people are very
uch disgusted.
+ Yours truly,
CITIZEN
