ENTLEMEN,— I intend to offer VX myself as a candidate for the Wainui Riding 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 SOTTTHEY BAKER. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE WAINUI RIDING. ENTLEMEN,—I beg 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. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BERARD RIDING. HAYING been asked by a number of the Electors of the Bernrd Riding to come forward as a candidate for the forthcoming County Council Election, I beg respectfully to statthat if elected I shall do my best to fora ward the interests of the Peninsula.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BERARD RIDING, COUNTY OP AKAROA. ENTLEMEN,—I intend offering \JC m y services to you at the 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 Count) , should be more energetically pressed on the Government, with a view to that object. Should you elect me, your interests and that of the County will be faithfully guarded, and rigid economy kept in view. Yours faithfully, GEO. ARMSTRONG. Akaroa, 31st October, 1881. TO THE RATEPAYERS OP THE BERARD RIDING, IN THE COUNTY OF AKAROA. I BEG most respectfully to say that I shall offer my services as a Can didate for the Berard Riding, in the County of Akaroa, at the forthcoming Election. Jn 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, aud have been one of that body since its 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 beg 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 t'tuc the Ratepayers had a meeting, at which all Ratepayers should att- nd, 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 SDADBOLT, Head of the Bay.
