AN UNTIDY CANDIDATE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE AKAROA MAIL,
Sir, —I am rather surprised to see the name of Mr Billens as a candidate for municipal honours. Mr Billens might, I think, look'at home, instead of trying to put tho affairs of the Borough in order. A person who happens to have the bump of order largely developed, informs me that the untidiness of this intending councillor's premises is even worse than that of Councillor Chad wick's; whi'e, a stranger enquired the other day, if .some building with an iron roof had not been blown into Mr Billens'yard, and at -he front of his shop, during last Saturday's gale, a reremark which was elicited- by the unusual sight of the, remnants of a chimney on the footpath.—Yours. &c, OBSERVER.
