" ■ - i i--frv L(a — -- — •»* Election Ttotices. - «, __! in, . > long, there will be a line connecting this Provf \\ ac ? with Nelson. It would be judicious for the Geng * Government v to^initiate such^a line,* making t'firti'*.?' those por^onslmost ; jsgeat}y r reg > uir^ J A Mk"grs^ t * dually extending operations '-mxtil the vholftjwsA «■• completed. In! contemplation of such atscheme being adopted, I should be in favor of handing over to the d-eneral Government the Sluff"snd Invercargill Railway, the Province receiving tho sums expended on its construction. A • . The whole telegraph system should also be in the hands of the General Government, and thai portion of ifc already completed, viz. — the line between Inveacargill and the Bluff — should be «fc ouce 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 worldng. The assessment ia altogether on a wrong basis, and individual cases of hardship under it are common. The means pf educating his children should bo placed within the reach of ' every man ; but I believe that the necessary funds , for a general system of tuition should be apportioned 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-roada should be made { and maintained by the settlers in the districts through which they pass, but roads - merely leading to private 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 con u equonce of an empty exchequer there is little •• hope of speedy improvement. I would, however, at the earliest opportunity bring the subject underthe notice of the Council, and be prepared to see justice done. * I am not opposed to the theory of assisted immigration, but under the present circumstances of the Province, I should be unwilling to see any public funds appropriated to such an object. I Should, if elected, endeavor 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 ft debt should be confined to the General Government, which should borrow,: and distribute, ttithe.o i the. Provuices according to the requirements of each, and the security which each was in a position to offer. It is necessary that the Provincial Council should possess control over the Superintendent in his expenditure of Provincial moneys. The Council can place an efficient check on his action's by 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, f * I remain, ' Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, 57-to MATTHEW HOLMES. Hotels and Restaurants.
