TO THE RATEPAYERS OF KIWITEA COUNTY. T ADIES and GENTLEMEN,— In vieAV of the approaching poll to be taken on AVednesday, June 16, 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 the loan. It is recognised by local bodies throughout the Dominion that in order to make and maintain the roads to carry the traffic under the altered conditions brought about by the advent of the motor car, it is absolutely necessary to employ modern and up-to-date machinery if the cost is to be kept anywhere within reasonable limits. The high cost of labour, horse feed, and materials of all kinds, c .coupled with the need for better road surfaces, is compelling the use of such labour-saving appliances as are obtain-' able, many of which are in use in the moro progressive counties, and have proved of very great benefit to the ratepayers and the travelling public generally. Tlie Kiivitea County CounciT having realised these facts, decided to obtain the plant necessary to demonstrate its advantages, and have purchased a stone crusher and screening plant, two traction engines, dump truck, and road roller and scarifier (on order before the Avar), costing in all approximately £5500. As showing the ivisdom of securing the plant without delay, the present day cost Avould be £500 more. The decision to .borrow on the terms indicated in the pioposal is an 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 ivork-, ing 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 ivill have no option but to make it a charge upon the rates. Yours faithfully, ARTHUR E. PEARCE, Chairman, Khvitea County Council. KIWITEA COUNTY COUNCIL. ROAD MACHINERY LOAN.
