TO THE RATEPAYERS OF WAIMATA RIDING. COOK COUNTY. Ladies and gentlemen,— At the request of a. number o: Ratepayers, I have decided to offei iny services for Waiimata Riding al the County Election on the 11th mist I am opposed to the present method of the Council in gradually in creasing the rates without any improvements- to our roads-, and wil support any change of adininistratioi which will decrease the rates and 1 in crease the benefit to our roads, anc with this object I favor proposals fo; a consistent system of borrowing be ing placed before the Ratepayers foi their consideration for new roads, anc taking advantage of the new legislation by which the Government- wil guarantee the loan and pay half of i 1 badk by a yearly contribution to wards the sinking fund. Previously the County rate was £d then it was last year raised to Id ii the £, and this- year it is gen oral and- l_9th of a penny for Hispita and Charitable Aid, which is practi cally lid, instead of Id as last year which is nearly 50 per cent increase and with our increased valuation it will make our rating extremely heavy and I -am satisfied ways and means can be found to reduce t-liis rate, anc at the same time increasing the amount for expenditure on our roads. I am, etc., j: c. field. COOK COUNTY COUNCIL. ELECTION. AT the request of a number of County Ratepayers, Cr. W. D.
