THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
ITo the Editor of the DAIL* TbIEGMAJPH.] Sir,—No higher compliment could be paid, no stronger expression of sincere confidence could be made by the ratepayers to Messrs McDougall and Wall than the fact that they have been sent back to the Council unopposed. The Middle and South Wards have thus shown that they can find no better representatives than those which they have had ; and that in Messrs McDougall and Wall they find the highest qualifications for the performance ot the duties of borough councillors. When two-thirds of the ratepayers of Napier thus endorse the actions of the Corporation, where is the value, I would ask, of the carping sneers of fault-finders? I trust I shall hear no more about extravagance, of raOney thrown away upon temporary improvements, or buried permanently upon useless works. Let the big ratepayers continue to occupy their selfselected position of obscurity, and await with cheerfulness the inevitable rate of 4a in the pound.—l am, &c, Curb-Stone. Napier, September 1, 1881.
