TO THE ELECTORS OF MIRAMAR BOROUGH, T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN',—I have -B-J great pleasure in announcing myself a Candidate for the seat now vacant ill your Council, and in introducing myself, seeing that I am nearly a stranger to you all, beg to state that I am by no means a new chum, having now been resident in Wellington oyer five years. . Being an Engineer, and late Alderman of the -Municipal Council, Castlercagh, New South Wales, naturally, since coming to this country, I. have taken a keen interest in public affairs, particularly to Miramar, and this City. I therefore deem myself eligible, and claim to possess a knowledge fitting for the position. Therefore I earnestly seek your support. In addressing you, first let me say that I come out as an Independent candidate, conscientiously determined to do my duty honsstlv and fair);' to all, and assist, as far as lies in my power, to build up the Borough on sure and sound lines, in the shortest possible time, and at-the least possible cost. This is a policy that we all, even the most indifferent and inexperienced, will admit is essential to success, and applies equally to Individual, Municipal, and Stale enterprises. This, then, being my guiding star, electors can rely on me sticking most closely to it. Referring to the matters now apparently agitating the Council, as one having a grip of the requirements, and regard to the future possibilities of Miramar, I wish to make plain that 1 fully endorse the Council's actions in cutting down King's Road from 99ft. to 68ft. wide. This step I consider is ouc in the right direction, and would liko to see all streets in the Borough cut dawn lo the same width (except tile Avenue). No matter how heavily populated, and loaded with industries to its full capacity, Miramar can never hope '■o press with traffic even a 86ft. street, and to retain streets wider means a waste of land and money in upkeep. Any proposal contrary to what I have, stated would, I think, not be to llio best interests of the Borough. Some ralepayers may bo curious to learn the cause of the objections to cutting down King's Road. I will explain; The Council proposes to lessen the width of King's Road by 33ft., extending trom the "Avenue" to the old Farm Road. As the street now stands, a Councillor owns the corner block, having frontages to tho "Avenue" and King's Road. This strip proposed to the taken by the Council cuts off the Councillor's section (tho. King's Road frontage), and extends tho corner 33ft. to the east. This corner of 33ft. wide the Councillor is compelled to buy, otherwise lose ono frontage to his property. Thus losing, one of his frontages, this particular Councillor considers depreciates his properly. Other ratepayers are in no way affected. Now, in reference to the Council's policy of tree-planting. I with to ask Miramar ratepayers to show their repugnance at the coming election against the hideous allocation of ,£2OO lor weed growing, at a time when money is so urgently needed for purposes of much greater importance. Remember there are no footpaths in tho borough. There arc miles of kerbing and reading to be made, miles ot largo and small drains to bo laid, and no money to meet the work. Your conveniences, health, and. comfort surely should receive first consideration. Preference lo human before vegetable matter is, I believe, a policy of common sense. Tree-planting is only indulged in, or ought to be, when money is available, and can be spared for the purpose. Ralepayers, wake up and insist on your Council placing every available man and every available shilling to useful workwork that will provide you with roads to your dwellings, streets, footpaths, drains, and all and every other improvement necessary. It. will be time enough then to spend money on tree-planting. Rates.—l would like to draw Ratepayers' attention to the fact that for the last two or three years Miramar has practically been forgotten, and the much money spent during this time has been spent in other parts of the Borough. Now I Ihiuk it only fair that the rates should be allocated so as to givo residents of both Miramar and Seatoun equal benefits in proportion to the amount; earli place contributes. No Councillor, nor other candidales seeking our suffrage, should receive our support unless' prepared (o hold .strictly to this rule. This t.hcy should affirm. T also hold that the Council should not employ any man or men on their working staff, officials or otherwise, unless married, and their sons, if any, and they should bo compelled to live within the Borough. Thoso living on the Borough should help to niako the Borough. In conclusion, let me say that I am run by no clique, but out entirely on my own, t.o uphold right and fair play.—l remain,, respectfullv vours, JdtiN McCALE, M.M.C.E., M. South Wales Inst.
