SAT U II DA V. APRIL 21, 1888. On Wednesday next the ratepayers wuhin (Jhine-mni County will have to decide by their votes, us to whether a loan, of £1,100 shall, or shall not be ohmined to assist the Council in their piosent sirniylitened financial ciicum*tance*. We scarcely deem it necessary to adduce the many strong 1 arguments that might be hought forward in favour of the piopo^o i loan being obtained. Certain it i>, all do not approve of the .iliocntion, LuL we have heard no sound .\iirutncnt put forward as a reason for not voting »n favour of the loan. It too often happen*, however, that tiie m.'my ha\e to Miffer by the action of the few, who, unU-s? they can have evetyihiutr aiiniimnl us they please, consider it yen clever to try and defeat those woikin^ lor the ijood. We are decidedly of opinion that it will be a matter of vciy i egret, should the loan not l)e curied. The whole of" lhc money is to lie expended on the county road*, winch cannot othei\vi«e be kepi in repair, as the Conned are weighed down with a heavy liability m the matter of the Thames award, etc. This we do say to every ratepayer in Ohinemup ; seriously consider the position ot affaus of your county, and the inevitable consequences that must, ensue fiom \otiuu against the proposed loan, ,md theieby pi eventing your courty obt'iiniiif,' money to keep open your loads The pio-pects of Ohinemuri are «eccnd to none ; foreign capital h being attinrtcd thither just now, and it would be little -boit of utter recklessness to place the Cou- cil in such financial straits, that thry could neither keep open their road-, or »s«i-t in opening up the count ly to I lit* ]>io?pector nn«i cnpitalist; ,md }to? s ibly ic-ult in their directing thnr attention to other districts. In our opinion thei' 1 never was a tini" *inec the constitution of Ohinenmii Couuly, when it whs a mntter of more vital intjioitance, that all concerned should pull together for the general well are of the county.
