ELECTION NOTICE 3. TO THE RATEPAYERS OF SOUTH WARD. GENTLEMEN, Having recently addressed the Ratepayers of South Ward, and municipal topics having been so much discussed of late, I deem it unnecessary, on the present occasion to hold any public meetings. Therejare several matter-! of considerable importance to the City which will require settlement by the Council during the ensuing year. Foremost amongst these may be considered the future supply of Gas to the City—whether that shall be attained by purchase of the present works or by the erection of new ones. As you are aware, a report by Mr Curtis upon the subject will shortly be published, and until I have had an opportunity of thoroughly considering this, I deem it unwise to utter a positive opinion. One thing, however, is certain —that the present state of things in connection with the gas supply to the City demands a remedy, and the ratepayers may rely upon it that should I be elected my vote will be given only to such a scheme as will be best for tbo interest of the citizens. With regard to drainage, should funds permit, I should favor a complete system of underground drainage, but under any circumstances I would strongly advocate the immediate completion of kerbing and channelling of the various streets of the City. The erection of public baths is a subject in which I have long taken great interest, and should I be returned I will endeavor to obtain this great boon for the inhabitants. Ido not deem it necessary to make any statement With regard to the widening of Princes street, as that matter is now out of the hands of the Council, I may, however, say that should the Supreme Court decide in favor of _ the tenants, I will not support any further litigation on the part of the Council. The question of the extension of the Water Supply is one of great importance, and no effort will be wanting on my part to secure this in the best and most economical manner. As there are now so many new members imthe Council, I deem it of considerable importance to the ratepayers that a person having some municipal experience should be elected by you on this occasion. Having before represented you in the Council, I respectfully think it gives me a better claim to your support than can be expected by the other candidates. lam also stvougly of opinion that your representative should not only have property in the Ward, but that ho should also reside in it, as he cannot otherwise so well be acquainted with your requirements. I need hardly point out to you that one ot my opponents does not possess this qualification. In conclusion, gentlemen, I beg to assure you that should you do me the honor to elect me, my best services will be at your disposal, and that I will use my utmost endeavors to forward the interests, not only of South Ward, but of the City generally. R. EOSSBOTHAM.
