WATTS, THE PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES. 2)1 HAMILTON, 11th May, 1920. TO THE ELECTORS OF HAMILTON. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— We, the undersigned retiring members of the Hamilton Borough Council offer ourselves for re-election. These are the reasons why the Mayor and six Councillors resigned:— 0 1. Because they developed a deflnile policy and the ratepayers rejected it. That meant that the Council must cither resign or adopt a policy in which it did not believe. The right people to carry on a policy arc the people who have faith in it. 2. Because the issue was so highly technical that the ratepayers could not possibly judge on it themselves. They must cither trust (heir Council or refuse to trust it. The result of the poll shows they refuse to trust it. This is a vote of no confidence. 3. Because the, work of the Council could not have been effectively carried on after the noli with' an pbslruclional element in it claiming, with reason, to represent a majority of the ratepayers. These are the reasons why the Retiring Councillors offer themselves for re-election:— 1. Because they' have been asked to give the people of Hamilton ah opportunity, of showing that the recent poll was not an expression of the real feeling of the town. 2. Because they have the interests of the town at heart, and think they arc the best people to forward them. We submit the following outline of our policy for your consideration: — 1. Hamilton is 100 heavily rated. This is due partly to weakness of management, partly |o unjustifiable ! recurring maintenance expenses, •and partly to thinness of population. 2. We will lower the rates Ly improving the management. Wc have appointed a business manager as the first.step. This should have been doi/e years ago. 3. We will cure the evil of recurring maintenance, and lower Ihe rales by substituting permanent works. We have commenced by arranging for concrete korbing and channelling on a large, scale. A loan has been parried for this. 4. We will go on by installing an economical system for the supply of good road metal. Hamilton lias alwfiA-s needed this hut no Council eversgrapplcd with this difficulty till we did. An option has’ been obtained and the full scheme has been submitted to the Government. Wliy not let us carry it through? 5. We will encourage population by making I lie town good _lo live in. Industries are awaiting an opportunity to start. Why not give them the opportunity? Wc are committed to supply tiie necessary power at the earliest moment, to use Horn Hora current so far as it will go and in provide auxiliary power for the deficiency. b. We will encourage closer settlement by regulating Die mode of subdivision of land and encofiraging building mi existing roads rather than making new and continually increasing the cost of maintenance. Why should speculators be allowed to dedicate half made roads which are only slowly settled and which involve you in continual expense for service and repair. Do you realise the expense of putting water and eras into a street which has only three houses in it? We have, insisted on the observance of proper reading - conditions. The spepulator must put hi korbing and . channelling, 'tarred paths and metalled carriageways. Previous ''Councils have let the speculator off and made you pay. Why revert lo them ? 7. Wc havij got (he drainage scheme ready to lay before you. AH the extensive preliminary work has been done. It is the. present Council that has produced the scheme. 3. We have produced a definite arrangement for rubbish removal. 9. Wc lyrve developed a systematic campaign against noxious weeds. ' 10. We have produced a housing scheme which, with slight adjustments, will solve this problem. 11. We have kept the Borough within its income fGeneral Account', during our year. Mr Pow and his friends never did this. 12. We began our year by a stocktaking, of Borough Department assets. This was never done before. We have made trading account possible for the first time. 13. The opposition candidates point *.o 40 years’ service, but they can’t show anything they have done. li. W.e claim only one year's service, hut we CAN show you what wc have done. 1 Which is the better argument? W. E. BURROW, ’I T. P. JOLLY, j. Mckinnon,' S. TOMBS, 11. E. TRISTRAM, 253 P. H. WATTS.
