TO THE RATEPAYERS OF WAIMATA RIDING. COOK COUNTY. lADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— A At the request of a number of -.Ratepayers, I have decided to offer iny services for Waiimata Riding at the County Election on the 11th mst. I am opposed to the present method of the Council in gradually increasing the rates without any improvements to our road&, and will support any change of administration which will deex-ease the rates and increase the benefit to our roads, and with this object I favor proposals for a consistent system of borrowing being placed before the Ratepayers for tlieir consideration for new roads, and taking advantage of the new legislation by which the Government will guarantee the loan and pay half of it bac'k by a yearly contribution towards the sinking fund. Previously the County rate was 2d then it was last year raised to Id in the £, and this year it is lid general and l-9th of a penny for Hispital and Charitable Aid, which is practically 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 this rate, and at the same time increasing the amount for expenditure on our roads. I am, etc., J. C. FIELD.
