TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BERARD'RIDING, COUNTY OF AKAROA. aENTLEMEN,— I intend offering my services to you afc tlie coming Election for the above Riding. My opinion is that the Council should take more energetic action in the promotion of public works, especially roads and bridges to open up the resources of the County, and that the special claims of the County should be more energetically pressed on bhe Government, with a view to that object. Should you elect me, your interests and that of the County will be faithfully guarded, ;md rigid economy kept in view. You™ faithfully, GEO. ARMSTRONG. Akaroa, 81st October, 1881. TO THE RATEPAYERS OF THE BERARD HIDING, IN THE COUNTY OF AKAROA. I BEG most respectfully to say that I shall offer my services as a Candidate for the Berard Riding, in the County of Akaroa, at the forthcoming Election. In doing so I cannot say that I am in favor of the County Council in preference to the Road Board. I am at present a member of the Road Board, and have been one of that body sinro it* infancy. Under the circumstances I beg to say that I cannot conceive how any other body can fill the place of the Road Board, as the gentlemen I have been connected with on that body for a number of years have always been found to be most straightforward and honest in all their transactions, and in disposing of the public moneys placed under their trust. I bag most respectfully to say that if returned I shall always endeavor to do my duty in a trustworthy manner, as I have hitherto done, and I consider it is quite tiire the Ratepayers had a meeting, at which all Ratepayers should attend, to decide whether they will give up the County Council or the Road Board, for it is impossible to keep up two rating bodies. Yours respectfully, BENJAMIN SBADBOLT, Head of the Bay. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE WAINUI RIDING. ENTLEMEN,—I bog to offer you VX my services to represent you in the County Council. If elected, it will be with the understanding that I shall do my best to get the Council to work as a distributive body only, and not to make use of its borrowing or rating powers ; for so surely as they do, the greater portion of the money will be spent on an engineering staff, and I believe we have had enough of that with the Road Board affairs. I have the honor to remain, Yours faithfully, THOMAS BROOKS. AKAROA COUNTY COUNCIL. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE WAINUI RIDING. ENTLEMEX,—I intend to offer \JC myself as a candidate for the Wainni Hiding at the forthcoming Election of County Councillors. Should you do me the honour to elect me, I will do my best to further the interests of the County in general, and of the Wainui District in particular, I am, gentlemen, Yours faithfully, THOMAS SOUTHEY BAKER. AKAROA COUNTY COUNCIL. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE LITTLE RIVER RIDING. GENTLEMEN',— I beg to inform you that I do not intend to seek re-election as your Member for this .Riding in the County Council.
