(3) The calling of tenders for countv works estimated to cost more than, say, £20. (4)'Theestablishment of a general county fund, according to the Counties Act. (s)' The non-commencement, of particular works until the cost of wime can bo met by assured finance. Too many works are lying in an unfinished state, without meaiw for their completion being properly provided.

Let each ratepayer ask himself if lie is getting a. fair return for the rates he pays, and let him vote according to the answer. W. K. Johns, Hon. See. Wainui Riding Ratepayers' Association.
