ELECTION NOTICES. TO THE ELECTORS OF WELLINGTON urn'. CERTAIN statements having appeared in a section of the press, the Wellington Citizens' League deem it lulvisablo to stato again its reasons for giving its support to Ml!, JOHN SMITH. HIS 27 YEARS' SERVICE AS A COUNCILLOR, entitles him to Hie office which, as Acting-Mayor, he has .so ably filled on several occasions, and for several months past, durincr Mr. Wilford's absence through illness, he has occupied tho position with marked ability. HIS CAREFUL MANAGEMENT OF THE CITY'S AFFAIRS, and his unbiassed conduct of tho Strike negotiations, have shown that he is competent to rule in difficult situations, and well fitted tb represent all classes of the community v.-itli impartiality. MR. SMITH IS NOT A POLITICIAN, and is not interested in the Parliamentary votes of the City electors, hence is free from all suspicion of acting so as to secure the favours of any particular class or party. MR. SMITH'S LONG ACQUAINTANCE WITH THE NEEDS AND ASPIRATIONS OF OUR CITY peculiarly fit -him for carrying out a progressive and cautious policy. MR. SMITH desires to see the City keep within its present income, and IS OPPOSED TO ANY INCREASE OF RATES. Mr. Smith generously offered not to contest the Mayoralty against Mr. J. G. W. Aitken or Councillor Shirtcliffe should either of these gontleuien anounce themselves as Candidates. Both these, gentlemen, owing to private reasons, declined nomination, and the Leaguo unanimously decided to Eupport Mr. Smith for the position. These reasons the League commends to the Citizens, feeling confident that they will endorse the League's action and vote for one who has given so ungrudgingly and unostentatiously so large a, portion of his life to their interests. Signed in behalf of the Citizens' League, THOMAS BALLINGER, President. MAYORAL ELECTION. "jVTR. A. S.

KARORI'S MAYORALTY. W. A. KELLOW'S CANDIDATURE. POLICY SPEECH. To bo made TO-NIGHT, TUESDAY, the 23rd Inst., at 8 p.m. In the PAROCHIAL HALL. I AM in favour of, and will speak in elaboration of the following matters :— 1. The investigation of the possibilities of tho Karon" Borough, supplying its owa public and private electric power and light, so that the profit arising therefrom should be the property of the ratepayers. Recent inventions have greatly reduced the cost of production, and as we are paying over .£7OOO to tho city per annum for these conveniences, I believe a saving could be effected. 2. Of the Wellington Gas Company being again approached with a view to coming to an arrangement whereby the company should supply gas to the thickly-populated areas. 3. Of arranging with tho city for the immediate completion of arrangements for the supply by tho city of water and drain ige of that part of the borough naturally draining eastward. ' i. Of inquiry being made into an improvement on the present expensive ' nnd unsatisfactory sanitary service. This to cover arrangements for tho finding of another depot, which is greatly needed. This would probably be arranged by small septic tanks, which could ultimately bo used for a. permanent drainage system. 5. Of approaching the city with reference to obtaining some return from them for land taken for reservoir and cemetery, upon which the borough at present collects no revenue. 6. Of an improved route to the city being thoroughly investigated. 7. Of cheapening fares to and from the city, by a, more economic running of the cars. 8. Of tho consistent popularising of the Recreation Ground, with a view to increasing tramway revenue. 9. Of the working of the quarry and metal supply, as a revenue to assist the public works expenditure—(l) by the salo of metal (especially screenings), (2) bv the pushing on vigorously with the manufacture of kerbing and channelling for footpaths, as same can be done with our own material, ' and bv- our own men. 10 Of immrdiaHy proceeding with the obtaining of permanent levels for streets. This work must be done prior to survey t' ol ' drainage and water, and can' be done by the engineer, assisted by a cliuinman. 11. Of the popularising of the borough as u place of residence by advertising its advantage?. 12. Of the more frequent meeting of committees, and the cultivation of a unanimous spirit in the council, for tho good of ttie borough, 13. Of u revision of the building by-laws of the borough to admit of the erection of the picturesque modern house, 11. Of everything possible being dime by flic council lo encourage the riphl kind of residence being built in the borough-. The recent depression in and around Wellington is fust, passing away, and 1 am convinced that the time has arrived when it is necessary I hot every facilily should be given lo prospective selllfrs in order thai Karon may rank as it should do, as the lending residential suburb ot Wellington City. Knrori is blessed with great natural advantages, and has only bwiu kept back in the past by Hi" furl ■■■! tbswo ndrauUiKU uol boing pfojwrl)' de? velopsi
