HARNESS THE WAIMAKARIRI.
TO THK EDITOR OF THE PKKSB. fciir, —No municipal project of equal magnitude with that to be discussed at the mass meeting of citizens on Tuesday, the 29th, h;w ever been before this city.
The man in the street asserts that he has thought of harnessing the Waimakariri yoatrs and years ago. That is another way ot' Haying that nearly everyone has thought of tlie subject indefinitely. It has remained for the first year of the twentieth cenury\to see the project take a definite form. ThaV.a multitude of questions, pertinent and otheYivi.se, will be asked with a view to hamper thi 3 enterprise, I have no doubt. It remains' to ba seen whether the citizens of Christ'l'.hurch possess the courage and prudence, by the exercise of which only it is possible to make this a great, prosperous, and luxurious city. Everyone should consider it a duty they owe to .'.he city to attend the meeting on the 29th infet»ut. and hear what may be advanced ih Support of the proposal to develop the weartlr of a river which seems to have been by" nature for the generation of electrical' energy. —Yours, etc., \ \ LOOKING PORWABD.
