To the Inhabitants; Wanganui. - Wanganui, June 23rd., ISO 3. GENTLEMEN, —When a. B-ard was elected, part of whose duty.is to expend monies voted l»y the Provincial CounI oil for Public Works within/the Town, I s considered that the powers of the River ' Rank. Committee” were ended, except as , regarded.completing the groin thm in progress ; and that'the report aiiil accounts I shortly after wards submitted to you were a , definite termination .of the Committee’s labours. I have been .surprised therefore to find steps taken to get the : Gouncil’s recent, vote expended through the medium of ; such Committee- .. ■ • I consider that the Council, after its liberal special grants, has a right to expecc us r to raise.by local rates,any further funds necessary to complete sq purely local a w'ork; and that- it is as unwise, as it is. certainly anomalous* to attempt- to resuscitate, for the purpose of expending the recent vote, a defunet buily without power to make or levy rates. To prevent misunderstanding therefore as far as I am personally concerned, I now re:>ign into your hands any power that may possibly, stilt be vested in ine,,in virtue of the position, in wliick you. did me the honor ’ to p ace me, as a member of tlie. old “ River i Bank Committee”, and remain: .Gentlemen, , Your obedient Servant, / /;•:;. : n. c, field.
