„ , ,-,__. " — "" 3S "°" Invereargill Railway, the Province receiving the sums expended on its construction. The whole telegraph system should also be in, the hands .of theiJeneral Government, and that, "portion of it already completed, viz. — the -line between Invercargill and -the Bluff— should be at once handed over, the Province, as in the case of the railway, being reimbursed for its outlay. The present Education Ordinance is most unjust in its working. The assessment is altogether on a wrong basis, and individual cases of .hardship under it are common. The meang of educating his children should be placed within the reach of every man ; but I believe that the necessary funds for a general system of tuition should be apporI tioned from the ordinary revenue. The Roads Ordinance is 'defective in its provisions. It appears to me that the Government should, as at present, make and maintain trunk lines of road, and that bye-roads should be made and maintained by the settlers in the districts through which they pass, but roads' merely. leading to private 7 estates should; be made only by the parties : directly; interested. ; ■■■ The present state of the East Road .retards the .settle-* ment and development of your district, but ;in : consequence of- an empty exchequer' there is little hope of speedy improvement. I would,, however, at the earliest opportunity bring the subject under the notice of the Council, and be prepared to see justice done. „ - .. n .;> I am not opposed to line theory of assisted immigration, but under the present circumstances of the Province, I should be unwflling to see any public funds appropriated to such an object. , ; I should, if elected, endeayor to keep'the Provincial expenditure within the Provincial income. No Province should in future be allowed to borrow on its own security. The power of contracting a debt should be confined to the General Government, which should borrow, and distribute to the Provinces according to the requirements of each, and the security which each was in a position to offer. . It is necessary that the ProvinciaiCouncil should possess control over the Superintendent in his | expenditure of Provincial moneys. The Council j can place an efficient check on his actions by j resolution, to the effect that they will recognise no unauthorised expenditure, thereby making the Superintendent personally responsible. Thanking you for the honor you have done me, I remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, 57-to MATTHEW HOLMES. \ Hotels and Restaurants.
