ELECTORS OF COOK v WARD, VOTE FOB BOBEBT POBT, THE INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE AND THE WORKING MAN’S FBI END. POLL ON THURSDAY, THE 12th SEPTEMBER, From 9 to 6 o’clock. TO THE ELECTORS OF LAMBTON WARD. Gentlemen, —I most respectfully offer my services for your ward, although it seems -rather hard that having been chosen twice within the last sixteen months.l am again obliged to stand for re-election. I need scarcely say anything respecting ray opinions as they are known by the recorded votes in Council. My experience has been that for want of system in the public works undertaken the public has not reaped the full benefit derivable from the expenditure, especially in road making and drainage. And the only remedy I can see is that an annual public works scheme should be organised, based upon the revenue, and distributed equitably among the several wards in works of the most pressing importance and urgency. This system would do away with a grievance likely to arise if there is a preponderating voting power in the Council, namely, the unequal and unjust distribution of the revenue—such as £2OOO being voted for one locality, while another section, contributing equally, receives only £9O. And again, an organised system would prevent such an occurrence as £3OOO being voted for ordinary public works in one month, while the whole annual rates amount to little recent interest taken in the city reserves- Had this been done sooner we would not have to regret that a magnificent reserve, now worth a quarter of a million sterling, which was granted a few years ago to the Corporation of Wei-, lington, to be held in trust for purposes of public utility to the cifcizeus, has passed away from their possession or control. Looking at the TeAro Foreshore Corporation grant as a splendid public property, I am averse to the sacrifice of one iota of the people’s rights, and as little would I wish to do any injustice to private individuals. The Bill authorised by the Council to he introduced into Parliament recognised exactly the same, that, in justice to the citizens, no claim could be allowed till proved ; in justice to individuals, that when proven, all claims should be liberally met; and till the resolution affirming this is rescinded no individual is authorised to offer any other basis of agreement. Respecting drainage, I believe that Mr. Clark’s scheme, .although good in principle, is far too elaborate for our requirements, and that a modification which would cost only half of the money would serve the city for the next twenty years, and then the remainder of the scheme could be dovetailed on. Regarding the shipping trade of Wellington as its sheet auchor, I look upon its development as of far greater importance than the revenue to be derived therefrom ; but I do not think it would be fair that the city should sacrifice a’ good paying property such as the wharf is, or right that the city should forego its claim to a potent say in harbor management. Gentlemen, elected or not, I shall always feel grateful for the kindness shown both by the electors of your ward and at the Council table. I remain, Most respectfully, T/ITTM A ATT. AXT
