MUNICIPAL ELECTORS* ASSOCIATION. ' The annua) rcpßi't of the- WadestoTvii Municipal Meetors* Association states that swing to kng-fiontimted neglect,, culminating in the laying of the n'iakis tor the .water and the droiiKtge system, the toads wore m a deplorable state. The council, however, had dono sOawft metalling during tlie past year, but, owing to tho pear nature of tho material used, tire woyk done lias been'at best a. temporary ' palliative. Additional lights had: beeft added to those aliSa.dy inthe. district, and others altered to serve tllc'jf purpose more nscPfiHy. Tho efforts of the association to secure a slot telephone; far tbo district were successful.^ After representations to the jcu-tlicri* tics as te tho need of sonre peliea supervision, it was arranged that a constable should eom.o to the elis'tr'iet each evening, and keep tho main street anß terminus .free from loiterers and those who were inclined to use these places as a playground. The nec-cl far 'sumo handy firo appliance for th 6 dktrfot had long Veen f'eti, and tho matter was, receiving tlie favourable consideration of the City Council, which hail premised to carry ©art some definite scheme during tire cowing year. The need for procuring a suitable and Mistral site for a post office would bo Olio of the duties of tlie iiieoinifjg com-' j mittcc. The committee was endeavour-! itig to get a eotnent wall built ■across ■' tho sterjrij to tiaffl back the water at' the pod known as "tho eighteen," awl so form a large and offiewnt swimming ■ bath, with an. improved approach. After co.nt.muod agit-atkn far an in> ; provemewt in tram access to tho City, the question had been, satisfactorily : settled by listing up with tho- Alfl Street route,- The committee consider this is an improvement an, the Pest Office route, as Originally Suggested, as it takes residents right through tft' the eettt.ro of the town without changing. The sseflr time-table, however, js not at present a. convenient one., as. it allows of no owe .getting ho.irto to dinner, Tho committee is Urging a. inoro equitablo adjuEtinfriit of tlie sections, asid itwsijld ha olio of the duties ef the new committee to follow up the representations already mad« on this matter, The committee was successful in getting the last car from town, delayed till 11.10 p.m..which is very much appreciated by pldygoors and others, The. matter <st the Jfgato bridge was unfortunately shelved by the Gity Couheil, hut after irtrnng representations being made by tho committee it was proniisftd to go into she matter again shortly. The eeromitiee, after discussion, do* eided not to continue affiliated to the Greater /Wellington Municipal Electors* Association, as it failed to see hew the interest of that outlying district could he to any w ! ay advanced 1)y fining so.
