I beg therefore respectfully to place before you briefly my views on a few of the most important matters connected with th© City. _ r 1. CITY WATER SUPPLY—I consider it a shame that this important work has not been carried out long ago. lam in favour'of the present scheme, and consider that the work should be pm-hed ahead without delay. We should then have a cheaper supply of water, and would be able to adopt the flush pan system in our closets, and thus do away with the present pan system, which is a nocturnal nuisance and likely to spread the germs of disease in the most healthy locality. 2. SEWERAGE.-I am in favour of a complete permanent system of drainage, and consider that our drains should be more frequentlycleansed than they now are. 3. FIRE BRIGADE AND STATION.—I am in favour of a new site, and consider the building should be started without delay, and that the latest improved fire appliances i and fire life escape should be obtained. I would also like to see a properly trained Fire Brigade, to be paid annual salaries, the men to be located at the Fire Brigade Station,. In this respect Auckland is very much behind other centries of the colony. 4. OUR STREETS. —They speak for themselves, and certainly require a great deal of atp tention and repair, which should he taken in hand during the coming winter; , 5. SWIMMINGBATHS. —I am in favour of erecting another Swimming Bath with as moderate an outlay as possible, and feel sure if erected to suit the people the cost would soon be repaid.. 6. ELECTRIC LIGHT. —This lam strongly in favour ot, Auckland is shamefully behind the times in this respect, and now we have Electric Trams there is no reason why we should not have Electric Light—this not to be monoply*. but the property of the City. 7. CITY ABATTOIRS. —These should be ereoted on a more suitable place than the present and placed under proper supervision ; no meat to be allowed to leave for the market without being stamped. This system is adopted in other large cities and found to work admirably. 8. lam in favour of rating on the unimproved land values. 9. VICTORIA PARK.—I am in favour of the Park, but would endeavour to secure thei whole of the Patteson-street frontage. : TOWN HALL.—This question has been tod many years neglected, and 1 would be in favour of purchasing the adjoining allotmentsand erecting a handsome building suitable to the merits of the City. r DRILL SHED —I am in favour of a new Drill Shed being erected suitable to the wants of ’ our Volunteers, and the site to be decided on by a vote of tfie Volunteers of the district. This, however, is not a muncipal matter but one which affects the instruction and strengthening of our Volunteers, who certainly should be afforded - every encouragement, not knowing the day that, their services may be again required. _ I h ave the honour to remain, Yours obediently, April 13, 1901.
