WATER AND DRAINAGE.

AIR. & MRS. RATEPAYER.—

You are hereby'invited to record your' vote on Wednesday, September Bth. at the Borough Council ('handier, between the hours of !) a.m. and 7 p.m., in favour of the water and drainage loan proposals. The object of the poll is to authorise a hmu of .Cdd.bOO, repayment of which is spread over a period of dtp. years. You will notice, therefore, that posterity will share the burden of repayment. Xow, Mr. and Mrs.

Ratepayer, you must know (lint such benefits do not drop from the stcy. They cost money. We have to Shank Providence for a porous soil, which has time and again defeated disease and dead), but the risks in this connect ion are still great, and will continue so long us the present an!ideluvian drainage and disgusting pan system obtains. Lc! us assist nature to make Fox lon the most at tractive residential centre in the Dominion. The cost? Weigh die henelils and blessings of (ho conveniences, Mr. and Mrs. Ratepayer, against the slight increase in your rales, and you will marvel why you have tolerated the present state of things so long. If you cannot pay for your house connections right away, the Council will assist yon by easy time payments. Just think the mat tor over, and don’t be led astray by [hose who jeopardise the health and prosperity of the borough for die sake of a slight increase in rates. You pay rates,.on (he unimproved value of your property, and the water and drainage will add to your capital value considerably. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose by recording your role in favour of the loan.
