TO THE RATEPAYERS OF KIAVITEA COUNTY. T ADIES and GENTLEMEN,— In view of the approaching poll to be taken on Wednesday, June IG, for tho purpose of raising a loan to purchase road-making machinery, I desire to point out to you some of the advantages to be gained by carrying die loan. It is recognised by local 'lodies throughout the Dominion that :u order- to make and maintain the /•oads to carry the traffic under the altered conditions brought about by tjio advent,of the motor car, it .is-ab-solutely necessary to employ modern md 'up-;to-date machinery if the cost is to be.kept anywhere within reasonable limits.. high cost of labour, horse feed, and materials of all kinds, •'coupled with the need for better road surfaces, "is compelling the use of such labour-saving appliances as are obtainable, many of which are in uso in the more progressive counties, and have proved of very great benefit to the ratepayers and the travelling public generally. The Kiwitea County Council haying realised these facts, decided .to obtain the-"plant jiecessary to demonstrate its advantages, and have purchased a stone crusher and screening,plant, two engines, dump truclc* and road roller and scarifier (on order before the war), costing in all approximately £5500. As showing ; the -wisdom" of securing the plant ..without delay, „fc.he present day cost 'would be £500 more. The decision to borrow on the terms indicated in the pioposal is ah easy'method for the ratepayers, as it becomes a charge upon the land for the next ten years, and the improvement to the main avenues of traffic within a very short time after the plant is in full working will more than compensate every car user for the outlay, besides giving pleasure to all who use the roads. The ratepayers are urged to give this matte their careful consideration, as the machinery is already purchased, and unless the loan is carried the Council .will have no option but to make it a charge upon the rates. Yours faithfully, ARTHUR E. PEARCE, Chairman, Kiwitea County Council.
