LIGHT AND PROGRESS.
The Editor
Sir,—Those ratepayers that are to be cut out and excluded from light by the short-sighted policy of the Te Kuiti Borough Council appreciate the remarks of "Observer" in laßt Satur day's Chronicle, and hope that it will cause our City Fathers to reflect on the great injustice it would inflict on a large number of ratepayers if this piece-rneal policy was carried out. In my own case alone I am prepared to guarantee at once four subscribers and another three for dwellings from £4OO to £6OO for which the contracts are let, and the connections for electric lighting embodied in the specfiications. The revenue in this case would all be derived from Bonny Glen estate which at present contributes to the local revenue over £7O per annum. There are also a number of residences and others about to be erected in this progressive portion of the borough, and all expect the electric light service.—l am, etc., H. A. ELLISON.
