THE DIRECTORS of the WAT-'R WORKS COMPANY will be obliged to Citizens having any reasonable complaint against the impurity of the water supplied by the Company, if they will communicate the same to the Secretary. As the general supply is undoubtedly pure and fresh, any such impurity must be local, and arise from the con sumption in the locality being too small to counteract the effects of stagnation. By communicating with tho Secretary, steps wiii at once be taken to draw off such stagnant w f ater and scour the pipes, when the purity of the supply will at once be restored. By order, THOMAS DICK, Secretary.

PROVINCIAL COUNCIL ELECTION. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF DUNEDIN ; GENTLEMEN,— The Provincial Council having been dissolved, it will shortly be necessary for you to decide who are fit and proper persons to represent your City in the Council that will assemble after the approaching general election. Believing that the interests of the Electors will be best served by the return of members pledged to no particular party or leader, I venture, at the request of several gentlemen in this City, to offer myself as a Candidate, Never having before had the honor of being one of your representatives, it is necessary that I should make some statement as to my political opinions, and the grounds upon which I seek your suffrages. lampreparcdtosupportall such measures as will tend to ensuro the progress and wellbeing of the Provide •. The questions of immigration, the prosecution of public works, the development of the resources of the Province, and of such industries as can be profitably carried on I consider to bo of vital importance; and, in fact, inseparable from any feasible scheme for the advancement of the community generally. 1 am of opinion, however, that in order to secure the favorable issue of the measures referred to, proper attention must be paid to the settlement and opening up of the country, so as to provide for the future return on the expense incidental to the carrying out of public works. I think, also, that a more liberal administration of the land laws, by the adoption of a system of deferred payments for pastoral and agricultural holdings of limited extent, and in suitable localities, so as to meet the want of settlers combining both kinds of farming, would be found conducive to the more speedy settlement and population of the Province.

I Bbould be prepared to support any measure which may tend to a better and less expensive administration o£ public affairs than at present exists, the more especially so far as the government of the Province is con cerned, and also to advocate any scheme for conferring electoral rights upon such classes of the community as may be qualified to intelligently exercise, but do nut now possess the franchise. In the event of my being elected as one of your representatives, I would endeavor to discharge my duties honestly, and to" the best of my ability, in the interest of my constituents. It is to be hopgd that the new Council will be enabled to transact the busi ness of the Province on constitutional and legitimate principles, without giving undue power to any one individual, Superintendent or Minister, or allowing private interests or desires to prevail over questions of public importance. In conclusion, I may add that I am fully sensible,of the fact that my short residence in the Province may seem hardly to justify my coming forward on this occasion, and it is only from the apparent want of independent candidates likely to merit the confidence of the Electors, that I have decided upon taking the course referred to. Thr time that will elapse before the general election takes place is now short, hut I will make arrangements for meeting the Electors without delay. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Y, ur most obedient servant, WILLIAM L. SHEA. Dunedin, May 30.
