f\ ENTLEMEN, — In accordance with the intlmat^n \j\ given in my answer to your requisition, dated /he I2th\inBta t. I now proceed to lay before you nay t k\tb upomsuc i matters as I deem of the mo9t importan/e to the wVlfare of the proyince generally, aui to your d/strict in particular. / It h» "orae to be accepted by all classes of the /omrnunity aaVibsolutelj certain that a crisis in t^he a/Eairs 't Provincfthsm can' ot be postponed beyond tbe ne/fc sitting of the General Assembly. In view of such a /risis, the cou"cils or the various provinces should enunciape with no ut'eert^in Voice the public opinion of the eeefcon of the Colon' wh\:h they represent, in order 1 hat the Colonial Legislature may have before them by this r»e%iA the wishes of the peopiAgenerally upon the important question of the abolition of HrovinWliam. / Upt>«-tin>« npint I Vbink it would. J>e |b reserre any ab'olut^de^teftn,., I ata i VprWiple opposfcd to the dcs t ruction X)f o||a system until J^orkable üb/titute has been proposed \ ' > ~ - / Great as hl^veVbeen he evils ontroTincMlißm, it is quite within the bounds of probability that the/eTils to the community o' abolislung the present ins'itu/ion and substituting some rude alid ill digested form ofyEroveminent would be still greater If bm requested by tli/ Superintendent, a resolution on thelsubject should be /brought before the Council, to >J)e Vorwarded to thy Col 'nial Legislatnre, 1 shouiti. wvocute the t n wporary tetention of P ovmcial Inst#uA>r>fy u>^til * wm/-moM equitable and feasible eubatitiitVthian tlnt\j,iscibjp(N^n t e three famous resolutions of Mr Volel during laj/c leastbn tAdl be found. If our choice is to \e between as it now exists, or as it would Ixist under/* law framed in accordance with those political abortion*, k. shall vote for any resolution advocating preservation oil the existing Btate of affairs. lam of opinion^han the inroortant question of education should be traaeJa Gploni/L and not a Provincial matter. I should like Jd jf£ oie t/neral scheme for the whole Colony, tbe JandVto carVy jt out being provided by the General G^erwnent outVof Colonial levenue, or by special tax raiaej/foricha tin^wB«fehr^igHW»t the whole Colony, at the same time lMheVjhcatiock far the present remain with the Provinces} } mall strerhjonsjj^ oppose any tax for the purpose whichSyajt a&sup c the present form of imposition / \ The subject of EoadJßoarrls is a very important one in a district like the " Wa/pa," jthe means of tapid and ea»y communication between theldifferent settlements is of the first consequence to tliea^ttltrs. Through the want of Cooperation ain^oTTf^e/^rio^jsVboarde, and the deficiency of recognised an(^kihffi««perVi|ion-^l«wge sums of jthe money raised by the annual levy otVrates is^ uselessly expended. I would advocate tie amalgamation and consolidation of the vaiious highway districts, and the appointment of some experienced «nH responsible engineer, who would awperint»nd the expeDHiuire «>fthe moA?y available for the formation und lepairo/tlie roads of «pur distiict, and that of the Waikato If possible, the ravin road through the Delta should be relegafed to the care ofrohe G-eneral Gfovernment. 1 should stroncrp urge the necessity of adopt ing the most stringent mensflies to compel abswtee prpprietors of land in the district Jto contribute their\full share towards the expense attendant on providing forVhe district the means of communtcuyion necessary to meetVits legitimate requirements. | \ The large aJnd productive tract of Country lying along the basin of «ie Piako river, should certainly be forthwith brought intolcommunication with tbe townships, scattered through you! district by means of a hiVhway, passable at all Beacons of the year. I shall therefore exert all the influence possible to obtain a Tote for th\ formation of a good substantial road betwee\tbat portim of the country and HanJlton,— ita naa^esV. point o\ contact with your dispict. k I^V connecHpn this work I shall jurge o"n^jfche^ aut fityitieK \^he necessity of puchinglforward thß worlts which I>beiiev\ ire in contem- \ lation inlconnection with the bridge »croes\the Waikato river, at tlat township: \ I shall lupport any motion which will tend t» bring more prominently forward the utter waste of tbe funxls available for the plrchase of land as Provincial Estate, aid expose the disgraceful system which has rendered valueless the land fund, wllch the acquirement of Native territom by purchase waft to have uiven the Province. \ In conclusion, Gentlemen, I can venture to give mV assurance thn I will give my earuest attention to any matter that mny arie affecting the welfare and prosperity of yoW district. My time willbe^iren during any sitting of thespoun. cil entiily to the, promotion pfyou> interests j and, altlough fjom t»e late date at^hich the writ for the election « the mem bar for theWai|-a x^made returnable I shall possibly be anableflto take any active part in publicly discussing hli[ the mattes I have referred to, I Bhall lose no opportunity of ur gin Jin private my vi-ws in relation to these question!, in the proper quarter.

\TO THE ELECTORS OF THE WAIPA / \ DISTRICT. / r\ EIITLEMEN, — A vacancy having occtjrred>«i the I&PKESENTATION of your District in>he Pro vincial CoWicil, I beg to offer myself aa a CANDIDATE for the SEifcT, and as the time before the Election is so ■hort, I will my views on whajrl conceive are most likely to b\the leading questumsyfluriag the present session. \ / Concerning the aj&tolitjion of the provinces, I think it is a mere question of^timaranr 1 whether the proper time has arrived or nol/l tJnnKdepend/f bn\ what scheme of local government nprej^re^ as\hei^ub3>itate. Of cousse I only refer to total abolition, as not consider partial abolition as wortky of ft modem's consideration. Ido not agree with the present j^stemVof taxation for educational purposes, still I consider the education of the youth of the province the object oj^paramount importance, to which the best energies of tjse Council ehoqid be directed, Xh# I Highway Board i^stem requires' ainVndraent, still in the event of the earn abolition of the provinces I would not be prepared to uage any important changes.\ If electecM can only promise that my tmt attention wil be given to/tbe consideration of all measures^routrht before thf Coun^l. \ / I am, fer.tlrmen, \ / Your obedient sei-vant, / EDWARD G McMtofN. !
