THE ELECTORS OF 'WELLINGTON. T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,- ■" I 'have the honour to announce that I ehail be a Candidate at the forthcoming City Council Elections, to be held on the 28th in6t., ' and I take this opportunity of placing briefly my views before you. , ' i Generally, my polioy is one of Prudent Lcon- ' omy which will protect the ratepayers from i the imposition of increased taxation whilst * preserving , efficiency in administration. In particular, I hold the following fixed views upon the'several.important matters respectively mentioned:— > I.'That, considering the City's present indebtedness and its means of. obtaining revenue, we should aim chiefly at meeting present obligations and cease borrowing for the con- . struction of works that are not quite neces3. That," remembering our present obligations to several of, the outlying districts, viz., Kilbirnie, Brooklyn, Kelburne, - Island Bay, / Northland, Eoseneath, and Wadestown, we i ehou)d ' meet these' obligations before proceeding to incur others. . ~ , B. That the ratepayers should be given the op- . portunity of deciding how the fire Brigade should-bo controlled—by Board.or by the -.'; Council. < ■ - , . A.- That, viewing our much increased indebtedness (upwards'of JE780.000 having been bor- ' • rowed in four years recently), we should mako , provision for meeting such of those , loans as. have been arranged without a sinking fund. ' •> 5. That provision should be made for the eetab- - lishment of fruit and fish markets. • 6. That, in view of the heavy burdens which , the ratepayers have to bear, we should, if • possible, proteot them from all increase of rates, romemboring that a policy which retards the ratepayer is a policy which harms the City, however great and magnificent our newly-erected works may be. , In conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, and in asking you to support me, I would call to your attention'the fact that lam not unacquainted with Municipal work. I am, at the present'time, a member of the Onslow Borough Council, and I have always taken a deep interest in the City's affairs. It is not, therefore, without confidence that I solicit the votes of all who are anxious for honest, careful, and t progressive management of the,. Wellington Uty Connoil's business. Yours faithfully, ■ ( 7 49 9 . 'J. E. FITZGERALD. TO THE ELECTORS OF GREATEE WELLINGTON. T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN—In connection , JU. with my candidature for the City Council, may I, without presuming to propound an EXHAUSTIVE, Policy, 6tate generally that:- i K.C.. 'favours' the early completion, of works already authorised, 6uch as drainage and | ) water supply for tho outlying districts. ■ K.C. favours & temporary oessation of borrow- - ing, except suoh ae is really,necessary for steady progress and the proper development and improvement of the City, and I * for obtaining the most effective results I , from, existing municipal undertakings. K.C. favours a olose scrutiny of all items of' expenditure, 60 that no increaso in tho rates ,will be necessary. • K.C. favours a prudent, and equitable administration of the tramways, electric lighting, and other municipal' services. K.C. favours careful attention to all matters tending towards the health and comfort of the citizens. \. I have no " axe to grind." I am the nominee of no'particular party or section. As a young New Zealandor and a native of tho City, I am deeply interested in the welfare,-of Greater , Wellington, and am desirous of taking my part in the administration of the City's affairs. I have had some eleven years' business exporienoe, and have, for several years past, beenconneoted prominently with various educational and athletic organisations in the,active administration of the affairs of which I have also gained much useful knowledge'and experience. I ask respectfully for your kind support and i recommendation at the poli. Yours faithfully, 7528 v ' ALBEET H. CASEY. MUNICIPAL ELECTION. TO THE ELECTORS. T BEG to announce that -I am a, Candidate •*• at the coming Election of City Councillors. Should I have the honour to be elected, I ehall snpport<a progressive\policy for the advancement of the City. I am in favour of the Fire Department being placed under a Fire Board, thus saving the City over .EGOOO por annum; tho money so saved to be used to complete the Constable Street and Lyell Bay Tramway scheme, and other necessary works. I shall sapport the introduction of a Bill to give the Municipality power to utilise portions of the Town Belt for Residential Homes, to be leased by tho Municipality. As tho health of the people is of paramount importance, the demands of the outlying districts for water and drainage should, I think, bo a matter of urgency. I shall support tho present Recreation Ground? being finished and made available as booh as possible. Is a resident and ratepayer, I will use every endoavonr to advance the interests of Greater Wellington to tho best of my ability. Yours faithfully, 7526 " ROBERT M'KENZIE.
