CITY TAXES,

(To the Editor.)

Si«,-I trust your pen will never ceaie, and that Mr Boardma^s brain will never test, until you have succeeded in i educing the present heavy city laxrs. The Mayor may h-. in that easy financial pc»ition tb»t ren dcis him indifferent to taxatio., but few of us are so fortunate. For his info raaiyn 1 desire to submit the following n^wes: — 1 have a homo, for which I paid the hujj of £200. I receive la rent 10* per wetk, out of which I am compelled to pay annually the following rates and Uxei s The Conncil bas valued it ai £ZO annual value; my rates therefore are- General Kate, at 9d, 15.; Special Kate, at Is 3d £1 B»; Library Rate, at Is 2d, lOd j water Consumer ivaft, iv»; -vr*wr ci«ei, £1. T«,tal city rat«», £3 10< lOd; In? snrance, £1 5* ; Pr«p«ity Tax upon £200, 8a 4d. Total annual taxes, £5 4s 2d Mr Clark will see I am compelled 10 pay out of my 10* rental 2< per w.ek iii t«x«s alont. Than add to this the expenses in keeping the housa and fencing in paint and repair, and ths Ims of tenants aid lows «l rent. I ask, then, ho* much oa» th»r. by l»ft for interest upon my £300 ? Y*t nuch Li a fair sample of how we are taxed, and how property-holders are treated. IMr Boa'd man's fellow-couucillora doaire t« do vheir duty to the ratepayers, they *ill render him all their assistance in obtaUUg » reduction ol tht prerent heavy city TaUs, and for which we will ev.r pray.—l am. &&,° ¥AT«'XTWr.

OUR NEW BANK BUILDINGS.

(Te the Editor.)

Slß,—For elaborate ornamsßta^n, the new Savings Bank and th« Bonk of New South Walas will not be easily excelled. In the former building, hownvur. a dis cordant element bas nnfortuiaiely been introduced in the Blupe of Peteihead gianilc pillars in the midst »f «a»d«ton«.

THE NUISANCE IN STACLEY. STREET.

(To the Editor.)

Slß,—Would you kindly, tbrougk t.e rafcdium of your columns, Rive jittWlcij? t» the following:—The drainage in fron. of the reiideaces adjoining the AuckU.d Fibre Co.'s workir, -tanley-strfeti Is bouom ing most u»beir»ble. Tt»«r« is no form «f drainaae—it is nothing but a standing p*ol of dirty water »nd decayiig vejietaile matter, and if the weather U a little warm the smell that comes from it is'txeeed-' ingly disgusting to the olfacio.-y senses of the residents occupying the cottage*. The City Council are aware of the state of this part of St»nley-ureet, and hare promised to do something ; but in looking down the coUmns of your paper of Wed-' nesday evening, I noticed tbat they nave' not included Stanley-street in their eiti mated cost of works. I think that this i« very unfair to the residents, and if there are no remedial steps taken we shall hear of some epidemic tbat will be re«ullaut from it. Hoping to hear of the Inspector of Nuisances paying an official visit to this part of Stanley-itroet, I am yours, &0., A Kesident,

RAILWAY MISMANAGEMENT.

(To the Editor.)

Sib,—l notice in your contemporary's columns a lettar from " their own coiret. pondent" oa railway mismanagement, in which the writer (an egregious aaa 1 should think) complains T«ry bitb rly of Mr Barugh having to pay hit freight and storage cbargss on a shlpmeat of wheat, as other people do, Mr Barngh surely does »ottxp»ct themanagH of the railway department, wko has quite enough io do in hia own bn*in«ss, to interest himself in watching over every little tinkering article that i« Beit by trail, and seeing that it reackcx iti proper destina tion. I thonld imagine the proper quarter from which the gentleman should have got the information that 'he teed had been f«r watd«d by train, would bave bttn hia agtnt in Auckland, acd if Mr B. had sharpened his wi<« (ever *o little) be might hay» known to within an hour when hia seed would reach its destination. Bat I suppose Mr Barugb, like other settlers I wot of, ex pects everything to be done for thta, amd when their little bill comes la, grew! like bears at sovbtdy (always the wroig per* son), in this Uitaao* at th« railway depart ment, instead of his ageat in tow*—if he' had one.—i am, &c., ~, A FBIBMD OP THS MAHAOBB.

PARNELL STREETS.

(To the Editor).

Slß,—May I trouble you with a few re marks respecting the state of the streets in this district I must tell yon firstly that drain pipes have recently been Itid through all the streets, and the clay tkui brought to the surface ha?, by the action of rain and other causes, made traffic all but impossible, in fact, owing to the absence of any gas lamps (except at the hotels) It la positively dangerous lo venture out after dark. Now,' 1 ask why should this picturesque suburb, so convenient to .the city, be so neglected t I am inf rmed thai a private subscription was raised to purchase gas lamps, but only two have been erected. Sorely tbis must be a inke, for living in the 19th ce» tury adjoining a city like Auckland, it can scarcely be possible. I presume when the necc'sary pipes, etc, arrive, the roads will be again dog up for the water supply, after which the same process will be again repeated for the tramway*. Now, I should like to see my brother ratepayers better themselves snd form a fatepajore' Association—join the city, or, at any rate, take Eoma active measures to see that the money collected is really judiciously spent for the benefit of all, as at present we »ro without roads, water.or light. Apologising for trea| axing so far on your valuable space, 1 remain, yours &c,

Com panyT Limited, Ib organised to manufacture Bar and Pig Iron and Wire from the iron sand deposits of The West Coast, by means of toe patents owned by Messrs John Chambers ana h. H. Gardner. Tho practicability of those patanta having been .fully proved by tho works at present in orioratlou at Onehunga, there remain but two nointsto bo considerod-viz., tho oo»t of manu facturing and tho market for the product. THB COST. In estimating tho comparative cost «t manu facturing iron here and in England there are three Items to be considered, viz s labour, coal, and raw material. The raw material is almost a nominal cost to us. The coal will cost no more here than In England, for U is Intended to use only gas for all heating purposes in the works, whion can be produoed by means of gas generators from slack orwiy brown coal at a far lower coist thanthe same amount of heat oan be obtained from burning ooal. Labour ia then the only item whiohwlll cost more here than in England, and wo havo to oonsider what advantago wo possess to counterbalance this greater cost These advantages oonalßt (Ist) In situation, by which we save 10 per cent, on tho Homo cost which la absorbed in oomraisiion, insurance, o*ohange and interest, and outward freight, as the freight from Auokland or Onehunga to dif ferent puoes in tho Colony will be no moro than the charges in England in bringing the iron from the mills by rail and oartage and shipping ohanroa In London; (2nd) in our process, by which we save cost of fettling (or wrought iron scrap*, which to puddling from pig has to be put into the furnace, and the cost of making the Pin « and tho waste of the same in puddling. This is d a most Important item in our favour, and would a be alone sufficient to counterbalance the Rreater ■* cost of labour, for by the patents under whioh r- this Company will work the same result is 1- obtained from Iron sand as is obtained from t- pig Iron, ihus saving the expense of making '7 the pig. The difference in cost between pig Iron in England, suitable for making good bar iron, and Iron sand at Onehunga being fully 35s _ per ton In otir favour. " If, then, we take the amount of saving which X wo have byourprocessandsltuation to oounter " balanoo tho greater cost of wages in this Colony.rwe have **- lst —10 per cent, on the Home cost-say «7.. 14/ tod-Saving in frelfht .. .. - -24/ . 3rd-Sailing of fettling ... .. ... ~ 3/ 5 4th—Saving of cost of making the pig ..

It is estimated that the total cost of the host finished bar iron at Onehunga will bo un der £0 per ton, THE MARKKT. Tho production of oheap iron opens so largo a field of industry that it is impossible) to estimate the future of this trade. It is an undoubted fact that bar iron can bo made from iron saTid more cheaply than from any other ore. The supply of raw material is unlimitod, and Now Zealand should become one of the largest Iron producing countries in the world. The many branohos of manufacture, of which cheap iron 1b the prime essential, will no doubt sprint- into llfo now that both iron and coal may bo obtained in New Zealand, and with the supply so will tho demand increase The amount of Iron imported into Australasia In 1882 was as follows :— Auatralio-Now Zealand. Tl. Tons. Tons. Bar Iron .. .. J4.500 9.250 53.750 Fencing Wire .. «0,000 9.500 49,500 Galvanised Iron.. 37,080 8.00 45.080 Pig Iron .. .. 24,500 1,0 0 28600 Plate Iron „ .. 9,250 i.ooo 10,250 WlroNalls .. 6,750 2.760 9.600 Hoop Iron.. .. 3.750 850 4,600 Sheet Iron.. ■.. 8.600 600 4,103 These figures ia not include Tasmania or West Australia. The present cost of South Staffordshire iron, whioh is universally used in these colonies, is fi7 10s, f.0.b., London, costing dolivory in New Zealand about £9 10s, whioh Is one of tho lowest prloea for many years, owing to tho depression of the iron industries in Kngland. Auokland Iron at £8, f.0.b., would thus keep out tho Imported iron, and leave a largo profit to tho manufacturers. It ia also proposed to manufacture the Iron 1 into m lew articles whioh are largely used, such as fencing standards, fish plates, railway spikes, &c, &c, oa which a larger profit can be made. Fcnoing standardh cost In 'ho South Island about All per ton, and are used to the extent of over 3000 tons per annum, and in other lines large Quantities oan be sold at better profits than onn bo mado on bar iron. Fonclng wire being protected by a duty of £1 per ton, and by a large coat of importing, offers a profitable field of industry; and it Is proposed to add this line to the products of the Company as soon as the above operations are at work. Tho slag from the puddling furnaces, if It con tains a sufficiently high peroontage of iron, will bo smelted in an ordinary blast furnace, and run into pig iron, thus utilising all tho waate produots. Sydney and Melbourne will take a large quantity of Iron from us, na low freights are easily obtained to those colonies. It Is expected that New Zealand Iron can be sent to Kngland and the United States at very profitable prices, aa the iron mado from sand in the United States by this process ia found to bo of bo superior a quality for making high-priced steel that the whole of it is con sumed by that branch of industry, and the ' prlco paid would yield ua a large profit. India, China, Japan, and San Francisco open fields for exportation, whioh we may shortly hope to compote for, as our location is moat favourable for them as a basis of supplies, and at certain seasons of the yoar freight oan be had .. at a merely rate; and a speedy enlargement of a tho works, as tho requirements of tho trado may „ demand, IS provided for in tho 28,000 unallotted * shares. These Bhares, when allotted, will be J totbtaha£s\\u. kh°ldOr8 &tVatiU I™* 01"0* This Company will take over the ooncesßionß Obtained by Messrs Chambers and Gardner consisting of 1000 acres of land, and four miles of foreshore on tho North Head and two miles c of foreshore on tho South Head of Manukau i- Harbour, and three miles of foroehore at Tara n naki, which will supply all tho iron sand nooes -1 aary for many years to coon a. No other plaoo on tho weßt coast offers such facilities for cheap ooal and roady transportation of tho flnishod product as Onehunga; as, from its location we oan ship from oither tho East or West Coasts, 1 and from the North Head the sand oan be put r into barges at any state of the tide or weather, i. without going outside the Heads, and brought 9 to our own wharf* .These considerations make these concessions ■ particularly valuable, while the leaao atTara » naki will bo available for tho manufacture of j charcoal Iron, as a good quality of charcoal can be obtained in that district at a reasonable price.. The New Zealand Government has offerod a bonus Of £1,000 for tho first 200 tons of wrought i. iron blooms,and an additional £1,000 for tho first a 200 tons of pig iron, manufactured from iron j sand, whioh this Company will secure. [. The patents owned by Messrs Chambers and Gardner are so essential to the manufacture of iron by the direct process, that it is impossible to manufacture iron from iron sand in payable ' quantities without them, thus securing to the ' Company a virtual monopoly. Of the first allotment of shares, Messrs Cham bers and Gardner will receive for their New ■ Zealand patents 3,000 shares paid-up to At, and in future allotments of chares up to 40,000 in all, 25 per cent, of such allotments paid up to £4. 9,000 shares are at present offered to the public, payable as follows:—10s on application, 10s on allotment, and 20s at intervals of 3, 6, and 9 months, the remaining 20s at an interval of not less than three monthß after the last call, but it is not anticipated that it will be necessary to ' call up moro than £4 per share. In view of the many advantages we possess— a large and constantly growing market at our doom, and separated by so many miles from its present base of supplies, a practically unlimited supply of iron sand, suitable coal at a low prlco dose at hand, and the cheapness of our working * —we have no hesitation in offering the shares of this Company as one of the safest and most profitable investments whioh has ever been before tho public, . i
