Having been nominated for a seat in the above Council, I feel it my duty to intimate to you, in a few words, m^ views on softie of the matters that the Council has particularly to deal with. I find that the present system of rating for | water supply does not give full satisfaction to the Farmers ; many are of opinion'that it would be, more just if charged on" the. acreage benefited. I consider, with a few conditions, the acreage mode would suit the bulk of the people better. ; I consider our County Hospital niight be made more serviceable and popular with the ratepayers tWt piiblicxin general if each medical man were allowed to atßeiidshis patients under certain) provi sions. I think in election times the rate payers are not fairly dealt with «by the' Council.
