GENTLEMEN,— In soliciting the favor of your votes at the forthcoming Election, I do so of my own accord, and not as the nominee of auy party or clique; knowing well that requisitions in general are got up by persons wdbo are paid liberally or otherwise as the candidate whom they work for is returned or rejected. I have been a ratepayer iu the Ward for the last ton years, and still remain so, and well know the neglect its interests have experienced in the Council. I therefore am determined, should you deem fit to elect me, to devote all my energies towards seeing Southward receive its just amount of the City rates, and those rates expended in a proper and practical manner. This, as you arc well aware, has been fully illustrated by the mcmVicr for Leith Ward, where the streets and by-ways are in a condition justly to he envied by the residents of South Ward. The sanitary condition of the City is one I deem of the utmost importance, and I am in favor of borrowing funds for its improvement —an object, I am certain, posterity could not object to—at the same time I should use every effort to reduce the present high rate of taxation, and to equalise the Water Company’s valuation with those of the munici* pality. Again, gentlemen, I am strongly opposed to the present system of rating for the new kerhing, and if elected, will endeavor to have it*altered to something more equitable to leaseholders than it is at present, and release them from paying what, in my opinion, the freeholder has a perfect right to Aw, In conclusion, should you return me I shall render every attention to the interests of tho City generally, and South Ward in particular, I remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, WM. E. COUZENS.
