THE WAIPORI BILL.
TO THE ED'tfOtt. . Sir,—lt would be mUcli more reasonable if, instead of constantly"harping tit the omission of the Council to take over the VV'aipori scheme in its infancy—Oouneik being only human and apt to err like the rest of us—people would emphasise this nK>st important point: If the Waipori Company are allowed to entei the City and' suburbs and compete with the Uorincil, and through this competition, fnt gasworks which we have", aid the electric power works, to which we are committed, do not pay, the loss must be borne" by the ratepayers; and as amalgamation will iri the nature of things be general, all tire ratepayers, both suburban and City, will have to contribute. It seems so miudi simpler to suspend the Waipori Sill in the meantime:, and when it is proved that the Council are unable to supply all requirements and will not buy out the Waipori Company, time enough "then to talk about allowing a private company to undertake a distinctly municipal undertaking.—l am etc -> J. A. September 23.
