PONSONBY BOROUGH V. CITY.

To tis Editor.

SlK,—The qnestion—Which way shall I rota": (Ponsonby Borough v. Cit; J) is troubling Uia minds of all the ratepayers, and in order to en* deavour to assist Ihtin out of the dlffiesltw allow mo to try and solve the question. Youd coi-respondenta of last evening tre not foa wrongJn their Etat«menl3. Il is true that lha' present valuation upon the Ponsonby propertjj is higher than in the city; a house in the cir* producing a rental of 123 per week is valued at an snual value of £20. the Bame in Ponsonby j25. It is also true that the present Field government, notwithstandirg that gentleman's plausibility, has been anything but a just and satisfactory one to the bulk of ratepayers. TO prove that statement I need bnt re* fer to the £100 spent in making eeata for the haU and tree planting; al«o tha cutting up of the good metalled road, WaH&cg> street; the metalling ol roads in Campbellrfllis leading to Sarsflela-etreet -. and finally, tng acceptance of the SarsSeld-street contract, which will cost £700 before it is finished, besides several hundred pounds which have been ex pended in the same street for dram-pines* earthwork, and other works. The acccptonca of the teni?£? tor this job was proposed by Us Masefleld und seconded by Mr Field, and I Cnfl there are about sis houses fronting the said street. It is this kind of jobbery that has mada the very name of Ponsonby representatives: stink in the nostrils of the ratepayers; ana werePonsonbyfonnedinto a borough to-morrow the same tort of jobbery would continue. What then, is the best course to pursue. Shall wa form a borough, -with Mayor Field or Maseflelil at the head, and have a continuance ot this kind of government ? Our funds, with our pro. sent heavy valuation, would, without tha county money, barely keep our present i-cada in repair; thus leaving us nothing for the forma tion of new roads, water, or drainage. In tha densely populated part of the district. Or shall we enter into union with a district whose reads are formed, whose endowments are large, anil whose water supply we are depending upon j and, having a written guarantee that our rates* by law, cannot exceed more than U jd in tbe £, unless within 100 yards of a water main (which, we want); and where the form of Government is fair, impartial, and no jobbery? I thintr tho latter is the one we shall accept, for it is quite evident that were Ponsonby formed into a borough, the Corporation, like ParneD, wonli not belong in imposing a heavy tax upon the ratepayers, to meet loans raised for procuring s water supply, drainage, and other necesurr works. The last point I desire to lay before tha ratepayers is relative to Mr Masellold'g proposi tion at the late meeting re Toting upon Uus iio. portant question, borough v. city, llr ISase. field's proposition is that each ratepayer Da only entitled to have one vote. Thus placing ' the man who is holding a vacant allotment ana paying about 2s 6d per year rates upon flia same looting with other men who have several properties, and paying 50 and 60 times the rates of the former into the funds of the Board, which is quite contrary to the Regulation of Elections Act. Both tn the city as well as suburbs each ratepayer Is allowed from one to five votes, according to the amount of rates ha pays. This Injustice can be easily rectified by ; a petition being presented to the Board request* Ing the voting to be taken in the usual manner. and as prescribed in the Highways Act—l am, etc., „ PoxsoraY Batepateb. 1

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—lt is currently reported that the poD by ratepayers "of Ponsonby to decide whether that district shall join the city or become a separata! I borough ia to be taken to-morrow (Thursday), the 30th instant, or if not to-morrow, then at j some early date, and the Highway Board, who are mainly in favour of a separate borough, have decided to take the poll witb little or no publicity. tru3ting the Boortnes3 of notice will favour -the Board's Views. I trust the ratepayers will remember 1 that should the vote be in favour of a separata borough, then in such a. case it is competent for, say for example the ratepayers of Sprmgbauk, to form a borough, and so get rid of the present ' consistent and persistent neglect of that portion I ot the district Reflection must convince toe ratepayers that to form Ponsonby into a, ! borough will perpetuate the injustice undei which portions of the district now complain,—• -1 Yours, &c . rmmi Asn-BOEOUGH.

GOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANCE.

(To the Editor.) Sib,—From a working-man's point of viaw, J*, ' consider that the re-opening, of the industrial"' branch of! the above is a great boon conferred upon us as a class. It will help to alleviates^ '■ great deal of Buffering if the working-men can* cc brought to appreciate the assistance which it SB aims at affording them, but I think that in order to cope successfully with pauperism, some tini of a superannuation branch must be added ' to • • those already In existence, by which a man could, upon payment Of &.-.:' weekly premium, secure a. certain I ■weekly sum npon attaining a given age-say sixty. Ton say the present branches tend to - impoverish a man during Ms whole lifetime if he were to live to be as old as MethuFelahj without offering Tiim any benefit beyond tha ." consciousness that he is making a wise prort-, sion for his family, bnt as a man may outlira the allotted spa.i of life without retaining snflV * 1 cient health and strength to earn a lircliliood.tho I consciousness that be is (if able at that age) by paying bis weekly premium making provision ■ lor those who are probably full of strength an 4 vigor will not be very consoling to his declining' ™ years whilst conscious that he has made nono, for himsftlf. I was thinlriiijr, glp^ that lorno kind of a combination could 1 be effected under the Industrial Branch I Bimilar to that already in vogue in anothe* branch, by paying so much a week to secure BO much at death, or so much a week if attaining to a certain age. 'A working man "could then SB look forward to ending his days in peace and quietness having accomplished his share of B the drudgery of the world, or failing to reach I the goal, there would be a provision for big familT.—Yours, &c. _ X .'.'

THE AUCKLAND BOWLING GREEN.

(To the Kditor). Sir.—At tha present time, when to mack >- ; tcrest is being taken in, ard discussion occurring with respect to. oar pubUa Domain, sad 'tha I action of its new))-constituted Board, I era re Rpaco for the insertion in your much-esteemed ■ and widely -read paper of a few renjßria ■ ■ apropos of the tabject In question. It mxf not be generally known tha.t the piece ttf land comprising about two acrei in extent, situate at t ne euauace to the Domain at :he foo* H of Graf ton Road. i« part and parcel ot tha 1 Domain, rhis land Is now, and has for many : years past, been used by a certain clique at ■ ■$ Bowiing green, the president ot whom, together m witfc several other members of the clnb, sro also -a iternberaotthe Domain Board. By c Btrata, gem well known to thwe members of the board i§ who were in office lit the time the transact! ra took plac«, slits plot of land was ostemiliy ,■ , leased to the olnb for their own nee and benefit V ■' hut I am not aware that the club ''[: pays arj- rent for the land, although... If it were rmt ap into baitd'ng plots ,/ and leased, or gold/it would realms a vety >. handsome ram. Now. sir, 1 ask why la this •*-' ehoiee plot of land severed irom tbe Domain, at Which it form* c. pan, and why are the general ,' public cxcladed from it 1 'is it just or risrht that > ' n. privileged few shoold be allowed to take * sllna off a reserve set apart tor the puWlc, ani'jffi QBe It for their own private purpose?. Paying " neither rent nor taxes for it, they yet*, reoeire a rent for the land adjacent to tho '' bowline green and for the cottage they hate ; ereciea thereon, whioh, I suppose, goeatowaxdaS caring the expenses of the clnb. ' And yet, in faca of this, tha Domain Board do not hprftata ' lo demand rent from the cricket clubi for tha ■ ass of a piece of land neither so large nor so con- . venioutly sitaatea as the plot in quosaon, , Moreover, all the members or tbe BowlinKCfaß : are wall provided with gardens and land of tbafslH own, and have not tbe slightest exooss to makojf ] for appropriating this land. It the Board "aria sbort of funds wny not sell tbe land and thus let* the onblio hare the benefit of it iustoad of« I allowing it to remain nnremuneralive as at :,. preet ii t The matter is one that demand* strict J lnvestlMtion, for, as txathtnlly roatarked in your excellent leader ot the 20th inr,t.. "Quit \ eustodict ipsoa euatodeaf and It Lj oalyiiWlli some one boldly speaking oat that transactions . of this character are exuoeed. There are other points in connection with the subject which I h&ve at present neither time nor space to enn- >. merate, but trnst to be able to do so on a futura ..; occasion,—Aooioelßlng for the length Of tbiM latter, I beg to remain, yours, eta, ■■ vkkai. :si [We hare made enquiries abont the ClobH ' tenure of the piece ot land referred to. and find : that the allotment is really a portion of Stanley street. It was given to the Bowling CIoVM! 1860 by the Government, on the condition that, ' wben required for the extension of the street, it would be given op. The Clab has spent £MOO : ■ thereon, and the cottage i' occupied rent-freo by the person in charge ot the bowling green. If, as stated, the green la a portion of a pnblio road no permit granted by the Government oifi any other body can prevent the public from obtaining free access to the ground.—Btt. K.&l r |
