To J, H. Sutter, Esq., and other Ratepayers in the Geraldine District. I HAVE inuch pleasure in agreeing to be nominated as the Representative of Levels Riding in the Geraldine County Council, and if elected shall do my best to further the interests of the district. Yours respectfully, W. MOODY. GERALDINE COUNTY COUNCIL. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE LEVELS RIDING. GENTLEMEN, —I have been requested by many of the Electors in the Levels Riding to decide as to whether I intend to offer myself for re-election. I am of opinion that where a County Council and Road Board are co-existent in the same district, the executive power in public works can be most advantageously and economically left with the Road B sards and that the Road Boards should receive financial and political aid from the County Council. Any other course would certainly result in the imposition of a County rate, which is quite unnecessary and undesirable. As an illustration of my meaning I would point to the Bridge over the Opihi River, which has been built during the past year without recourse to any County rate and without any call on the ratepayers of the Levels district. I am so convinced of the value of this principle that I fear lest the election of an entirely new Council may endanger it, by affording a majority of inexperienced members a chance of displaying their zeal in the prosecution of public works at the expense of the ratepayers, and at the risk of disturbing that good feeling of mutual reliance hitherto existing between the Council and the Road Boards. The establishment of two local authorities, having powers and duties so nearly similar within the same ai’ea, was from the first a dangerous experiment, and, under these circumstances, it is extremely easy to raise discord,but it is also possible to avoid it. I am, therefore, willing to offer myself for re-election, but if you prefer either of the other gentlemen whose names may be submitted to you, I shall be quite oentent to reflect that my fifteen consecutive years of service on your Road Board and” County Council fully justify my retirement. Your obedient servant, EDWARD ACTON.
