Maifai Lands Poll

RATEPAYERS, VOTE AGAINST ALL PROPOSALS. 4 WHY? BECAUSE we have mote Recreation Grounds now that we can afford bo keep in good order. BECAUSE if we acquire the Bathing Holes n_ow, we will be blocking 'Scheme for up-to-date Baths near the centre of the city. BECAUSE it certainly means a-: Supreme Court action before we can get the River Rights. BECAUSE we have no idea how much it is going to cost, nor how much it has already cost.us. There is no fund out of which the money can come, except the General Rates, and they are not at present meeting current accounts. BECAUSE if we carry the- proposals we can give the Council full power to spend our morey, no matter what the cost may be. BECAUSE, at the recent inquiry, the ■Government Y aluer\ valued the iand to be taken at £1523} the loss to the letting value of the Goat Hills at £IOO per year. This will- require, at ■ the lowest estimate, a. compensation,, of £2OOO. So all Ratepayers Roll Up AND ■VOTE- AGAINST, ;or up,: goes your. Rates—you won't kno.w how. much until the Bill of Costs is presented.

The Third Article of a Series dealinft with a question which vitally affects every housewife. The increased demand for tea today is due to to the fact that huge quantities ; are wanted for the 25 :miUi6n. .men . under amis. .The {Meads: .'oftheArmies of the world know, that there is no drink- so stimulating: and beneficial, and hence tHey must have tea, for their men no matter what it costs. Then, too, at the stroke of a great Russian Nation has •been turned into a , tea. drinking people, and the money previously spent on Vodka. is now available for the purchase of tea. But there is only a limited supply of tea and that supply is not sufficient to the present qunemehts; Hence at the tea auctions in Ceylon it has risen in price month by month, until to-day; it costs the packer 2\d to 3d per fb. more; than, in August lasK This. ,of course, affects New Zealand very greatly, for the finest tea in the world has been sold here at prices which cannot be equalled. T

{ Although this seems a bold statement-,-.' it is one that will bear the closest investigation. For instance, a great proportion of the tea imports to England consist of what is known as 'red; stallc' tea, the lowest possible grade?—so low that it, is prohibited throughout Australasia. Yet even; this lo'west grade is sold in Eriglapd at 1/6 or more per lb., while for fine tefSs of the quality of "Amber Tips," 2/8 *to 3/4 per lb. is asked. Tea experts the -world over ire astonished at the remarkable quality, flavour, fragrance and value given:m "Amber Tips'.' at so levy a price, and it is because no better value can be ; obtained, any•whefe, that "Amber Tips" is tosday'.-the most popular, brand in' New Zealand, Millions of- packets'of ."Ainbers Tips" are sold per annum. It is stocked- in every shop from the North Gape to the Bluff. Only exceptionalvaltie. could be responsible for so exceptional alsale. But fine ; tea- is how costing - the "Amrbef Tips" Proprietors, as well as other tea ine'r'chants, an average of 2Jd. to 3d. per lb. more than in August; 1914. Therefore, if a fair" price was charged before the war, the tea merchant is to-day faced with an enormous loss should he continue to'pack the same quafifiy al; his Old prices. Of coufe there- is the •alternative' of cheapening the'quality by an admixture of inferior, le's» ltealthful teas. The "AmberTips' l .Pfoprie'tbrs were' advised by many to d 6 4hiX they decided to raise the pVice by 2<£ per lb., and to continue Co give; the public-that same' splendid ! value whicH' has .'always been associated with" the l nahie 1 "Amber Tips."' <■ Now, Mrs. Housewife; what ie[ your opinion of the whole matter? ' Would yOu rather have the same delightful flavour,' quality, purity and value rind pay a penny a $-lb. packet more—or would yoW rather have an inferior and less healthful tea at the old pf ice! ? But you say "other tea's have riot been raised in prices." If so you can readilj- i see that either excessive prices s were J charged before the war—so" excessive that even an extra 2^d. or 3d. in cost per lb. still enables a profit to be made | —or quality must be fecraced, dthera heavy loss must be faced. : But 6veri at increased figures Amber Tips is still the cheapest tea you can buy. Cup for cup', value for valued nothing else can equal it, while it is so Eure and healthful that it can be taken y even those of the weakest digestion. Sorely these facts should weigh with yon., ' " ' Consider them carefully—write and telljius yotrr" conclusions. "We believe thatfyou* want quality and that you want value. reason we have raised our'prices Because only by doing so can we epntin'tiS to give yon the sarne honest quality ami &e same holiest value. ioi
