RICCARTON AND FENDALTOX SEVERANCE. TO TUB EDITOR oy "'THE PRESS. , '
iiir,—Thert> an , various petitions and proposals being placed before the rate■;payers of the ]x>uer Rk-carton and Fen.dnlton district, having for their pur- ■ P»e_the intention of cutting out these districts from the control of the Riccar,'ton Rond Board. In view of tho fact ".tbat these proposals must eventually wean a considerable incroa.se in rates ■without commensurate advantages, I .wish to warn all ratepayers against "signing any potkion until" they "have rarefully considered tho matter in all »fe hearings, and to bear in mind that the Riccnrton Road Hoard has served the whole district well, and mntle largo "J'provements on very reasonable rates. Indpr the circumstances I would urgo all ratepayers to Tefu.se to sign those Petitions, and l: ive their active support -to those who ask that the districts re,nwin under th« present control.— ■ lours, etc.. lUCCARTON RATEPAYER.
