THE PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES. 211 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 reason# why the Mayor and six Councillors resigned;— 1. Because they developed a definite policy and the ratepayers rejected it. That meant that the Council must either resign or adopt a policy in which it did not believe. The right people to carry on a policy are the people who have faith in if. 2. Because the issue was so highly technical that the ratepayers could not possibly judge on it themselves. They must either trust Iheir Council or refuse to trust >t. 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 couldnot have been effectively carried on after the poll with an obslruclional 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 theyihave been asked to give the people of Hamilton nn 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. Wo submit tho following outline of our policy for your consideration: —

1. Hamilton is 100 heavily rated. This is in weakness of management, partly to unjustifiable recurring, maintenance expenses, and partly to thinness of population. 2. Wo will lower the rates by improving the management. We have appointed a business manager as the first step. This should have been done years ago. 3. Wo will cure the evil of recurring maintenance and lower the rales by. substituting permanent works. We have commenced by arranging for concrete kerbing and channelling on a large scale. A loan has been carried for this. 4. We will go on by installing an economical system for the supply of good road metal. Hamilton has , always needed this but no Council ever grappled with this till we did. An option has been obtained'and ttie full scheme has been submitted to the Government. Why not lot us carry it through? 5. We will encourage population bjmaking the town good lo live in. ■' Industries are awaiting an opportunity to start. Why not give them the opportunity? We are committed to supply the necessary power at Hio earliest moment, lo use Hun Hora current so far as it will gu and to provide auxiliary power for the deficiency. ' b. We will encourage closer settlement by regulating the mode of subdivision of land and encouraging building on existing roads rather than making new roads and continually increasing the cost of mam--1 tenanc.e. Why should speculators be allowed to dedicate half made roads which arc only slowly settled and which involve you in continual expense for service anil repair. Do you realise the expense of putting water and gas into a street which has only ihree houses in it? We have Insisted on the observance of proper roading conditions. The speculator must put m kerbing and channelling, tarred paths and metalled carriageways. Previous Councils have let tlie speculator off and made you pay. Why revert to them? 7. We have got the 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. 8. We have produced a definite arrangement for rubbish removal. 9. We have 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 (General Account) during our year. Mr Fow and 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 to 40 years’ service, but, they can't show anything they have done. 14. We claim only one year’s service, but we CAN show you what we have done. « Which is the better argument? W. E. BURROW. T. F. JOLLY. j. McKinnon, S. TOMBS, H. E. TRISTRAM, 253 P. H. WATTS.
