To ike Ratepaters of Auckland. Ladies and Gentlemen, —I beg to request that you will elect me as one of your representatives to a seat in the City Council at the forthcoming election. It may, perhaps, be injudicious on my part to say so, but I tell you fairly that my object in seeking to enter the Council is, first, to see that our rates, or the money raised on the security of those rates or on the city, en dowments, is not squandered in the future as it has been in the past, a notable instance of which occurred recently in Hobson-street. This was one of the best roads In the city, yet some thousands of pounds were expended on it in making a cutting not more than three or four feet in depth, while within oiie hundred yards of the same place there" are other streets the iohabitants of which find it almost impossible to get a load of rii'e wood to their doors. In the next place I would like to be able to exercise some control over the expenditure under the Waterworks account, as I believe unless there is some more strict surveillance exercised by the members of the Council in this direction you will find yourselves saddled with a bill for extras that will astonish you. Some time ago the Council purchased a piece of land for a pipe-track from Mr Mcllwaine, of the North Road, and employed Mr Goodall to survey it. This same Mr Goodall and your Waterworks En gineer, instead of laying the pipes on the land thus bought, have actually laid them a long way outside the boundary, and instead of compelling these_ blun derers to rectify their own errors the Council are quietly endeavouring to compromise the matter with Mr Mcllwaine. This of course means that the Council is to pay the piper, and leave the ratepapers to dance afterwards when they should find it out. We have heard much lately of the centralising ten dencies of the New Zealand Government, and of the bribery and corruption practised in "Wellington. I think we need not travel quite so far to find glaring examples of the evils of which we complain so bitterly. Your present Mayor was at the time of his election to that office one of the sureties to the Council on be half of the contractors to the Waterworks. I venture to say that if this circumstance had been generally known at the time Mr Tonks would not now be Mayor of Auckland. It must, however, have been known to Mr Hurst (who is now a candidate for your suffrages) as he" is one of those who affixed his signature to the plans when the contract was made. It will no doubt be urged that as a cash security was required by the terms of the waterworks specifica tion, that other security was unnecessary ; but there are none of us soft enough to believe that the Mesfirs. Morrm had the names of Mr Tonks and his business partner, Mr Carr, inserted in this contract bond without an object; but what that object was every one must judge for himself, and those who believe that it was simply for the benefit of the ratepayers, are wel come to their opinion. .. _ Mr Holdship, who is also a candidate for re-election, has for some years occupied a seat at the Harbour Board ; he has also for nearly the same length of time been virtually contractor for the supply of timber to the Board. Certainly his name has not appeared in the contract, but so thin has been the disguise consi dered necessary to conceal the proceedings that the business has been carried on by one of his hired ser vants. In the past, only a small minority of the men whom you have elected to represent you in the Council re sided in the city, and I think a good deal of the neglect that has been shown to the wants of the resi dents in the outskirts and bye streets, of the town, may be attributed to this fact. At the risk of giving offence to some of our nabobs I must say, that a councillor who resides at the North Shore, Parnell, or Mount Eden, and whose place of business is, say Lower Queen-street or Custom-house-street) can know little, and may care less, about the wants of the residents of William-street, Mount-street, or a score of others I could name. Doubtless we will be told that all the streets in the in the town are about to be made, and that Messrs. Hurst and Holdship are now going in to get a good road made to every man's door. We can only judge of what a man's future conduct is likely to be by his past performances, and I strongly advise you, in your walks abroad during the next few days, to go through some of the streets in the outskirts of the city. In stead of following the beaten track, go to Sale-street (if you can find it), try to pick your way through Liverpool - street, Rokeby-street. or Clyde - street, and a multiplicity of others, the names of which you will be unable to discover except by reference to a map, and if you think that these men have done to ethers asthey would be done by,why elect them again by all means The city will soon be divided into wards, and I have no doubt that it is owing to tbe contemplated change that the Council has bestirred itself, and promised to raak« certain improvements iv the west of the city; t'iey could see that when this change is effected the Council would be composed of men elected by the people who own or reside on their property, and not as hitherto by a body whose inte rests lie exclusively in the ceutre of the city. It is boasted that, Messrs Holdshtp and Hurst having received promises of support frem the big-wigs of Queen-street, their return is safe. Ido not believe that one-fourth, of the Queen-street ratepayers will vote for either of these gentlemen. I have not asked anyone except those with whom I am intimately ac quainted to vote for me, but I now ask you, ladies and gentlemen, to do so. I am, as some of you are aware, a builder and carpenter, and will use my practical knowledge for your benefit. I think that all the wealth in the world is not worth a single lie, and] believe that, had I been in the Council when the plani and specifications for twe water works were prepared I could have saved you some thousands that hayt been carelessly thrown away on that work.
