Just Like the Towns.
In a statement made by the Mayor of Wellington to the Council last week, he is reported to have raised the question of State aid to the largo Boroughs as follows: — "The question of whether or n >fc the State would be justified in giving aid to municipalities had often recurred to him, and he had never been able to dismiss as unworthy of consideration a process by which communities forming a large part of the populati nof (he colony would certainly gain relief. Indeed he very much doubted if the Government of the country c uld successfu'ly bs indifferent or insensible t • the financial ami sanitary condition of the capital city and th« cities of Auckland, Chriftiihurch, and Duuedin. The consideration thwn with him had been how this aid coul 1 with safety to the State ho. best giveu. He suggested that tlio colony should guarantee the repayment of monoj to be raised for tlio express and Only olject of liquidating in time the present and future municipal indebtedness incurr-'d for the superior purpose of improvi ilt, by water supply and dr linage, the sanitary condition of the people." Why only these four towns, if any ?
