ELECTION NOTICE.T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,JLJ I am offering myself for election to the City Council of Wellington, and as I do not belong to any -League, -J. have a free hand. an.d am not Bound" to any party. , My intention is, if elected; to see that justice is dons 'to all Members of Mo community. * ' Sl I am a strong believer in employee? getting a fair living wage. I have omployed labour in this city for thirty-fiv<? years, and anyone who has been iv my 'employ will bear me out in stating that I have always paid wages fsuffioiont to enable them to live comfortably. At the lato conference between the City Council and the labourers in its employ, it was decided to refer the question of wages to the Arbitration Court, because an agreement could, not be oomis to at the conference. I thinlc this matter should have been settled amicably between all parties. The Corporation phould arrive at some conclusion as to what a livingwage is, and then see that this is tho minimum paid to its employees. I contend that the best and most economical policy is to pay good wages 50 long as you get a good return in the shape of honest work. This is tho essence of economy, but it does not entail a reduction of wages. Tho overcrowding of tho tramcavs is a thing that the new Council should see to immediately. A city like thisi can well afford to have extra cars and to run a five-minutes' service in the busy times of the day, and now the winter is coming on and people to be crowded together in wet clothes, which is injurious to the public health, this should be seen to at once. If elected, the first thing I would do would bo to use all my power to rectify this overcrowding of cars. I am not a politician, and I do not think that one need bo a politician to qualify for the Council. On tho othei hand, I am a man with sound business! knowledge and experience, and these are> tho essential qualifications for Councillorship where so many large undertakings have to be managed on business principles. .Yours faithfully, JOSEPH MANDEL. nnO the Electors. — Ladies and GentleB- men, — I again offer my services to you as Councillor for the City. Should my past services meet with your approval, I hope you will record that approval at the polling booth. Having time at my disposal, and _50 years' practical knowledge of- building; in all branches, I think my experience will be of value as a member of the Harbour Board. I therefore place myself in your hands, with a pledgeto do my very best for the City and Board. — Yours, etc., JAMES TREVOR. WELLINGTON HARBOUR BOARD. BIENNIAL ELECTION. To the Electors of the ■ combined ' district of the Counties of Hutt and Makara, the Boroughs of Onslow, Karori, Miramar, Petone, Lower Hiitt, and Eastbourne, and the Town Drstriots of Jonnsonville and Upper Hutt. PiLEASE take notice that I will be a Candidate for your suffrages for one of the two vacant Seats on the Wellington Harbour Board. In the event of your doing me the honour of electing me as one of jour representatives, I will undertake to keep a vigilant eye on Harbour Board affairß, with a view to ensuring an effective and at the same time economical administration. As a close student of Harbour Board matters for many years in my capacity as a journalist and newspaper manager, I have gained a olose insight into the actions of those who have been entrusted with their control. Although I admit that the general results have been satisfactory, I am quite convinced that in detail the administration of the. Board has left much to be desired. The result has been that the taxpayers have boen called upon to bear burdens which a more prudent and far-seeing polioy would have obviated. I am convinced that the time Bas arrived when greater attention must be paid to the requirements of the _ areas outside the immediate vicinity of liambton Harbour, and if it is your will that I should serve you,_ you can rest assured that you will receive a faithful and fearless advocacy of your rights. Yours faithfully, PIERCE C. FREETH. "Chronicle" Office, Petone, ' 21st April. WELLINGTON HARBOUR BOARD ELECTION.
