This city undertook Lake Hydro-Electric Scheme when the world thought more of one million sovereigns than it does now of a 100 million sovereigns. We have won the war. We must reconstruct and be emcient,, and find remunerative employment for all—soldiers first. The; City and North Canterbury can dredge and build Port Christcliurch. The Government acqxiired the Lake Coleridge Scheme; see the Government does not acquire the Port Christchurch Scheme. Inl 1908, 1909 and 1910 1 was chairman oi the Christchurch.' City? Council's Electric Light Committee, which inaugurated the Lake Coleridge Scheme, and as chairman took the first official party on its visitoi inspection. See " Lyttelton Times," of March 23rd, 1910. In the stern war times of wrongful curtailment I fought municipally and politically to get the 9.40 p.m. train to Lyttelton and back reinstated; and it was reinstated. I can now urge and endeavour to establish a permanent gravitation high-pressure . water-supply in conjunction with a comprehensive sewage system, and a port in the Heathcote Estuai-.v. With concrete roads, i.e., T. E. Taylor roads, in our city, and with water hydrant junctions on the high-pressure supply? we could wash these roads down each morning without washing them away into the gutters, thence to the Avon and Heathcote, as at present. Soldiers —Tell your friends of the new War harbours you have seen; of the water supplies; of the sewage .systems and tho highways. lam trying to get you your rightful vote next Wednesday. You remember-how I handled ihe health and sanitation problem ot Trentham Camp, 191-5. - Citizens—Let me beg,you to be mindful that Timaru is outpacing Lyttelton, which is rapidly becoming a second-rate side port, with transhipments at Wellington and Timaru of commercial commodities to be forwarded to Christchurch. Remember, too, the Otira Tunnel must soon be completed, and Port Christchurch will be an absolute necessity to handle the inward and outward trade of the West Coast, the coming dairying centre of the South Island.
