It all depends upon the individual ratepayer, who shall benefit if tho poll is successful and bear tho responsibility if the day is lost I'hrough IftcE of interest. Wellington is at a 9tage now when a big development scheme is absolutely necessary. Tho huge sum of money involved im the proposed scheme will be spent; over a period of fivo or sibc years, and our children and thoir children will reap ilhe benefit of the works to be. carried out. If tho loans are not authorised Wellington might as well give up its motto of "Supreina a sitiiv" and settle down to mediocrity. But the loans are going to bo authorised if you, Mr. and Mrs, Ratepayer, just take the trouble to visit I'ho nearest Dolliiis-bootb on September 15 and voto for every item on the schedule. If you have any regard for tHio future of Wellington, for your own comfort in days to como. for Clio well-being of the next generation, ov for tho good of Uio present-day community, you will go to flio Doll and vote for all of these.
