Late Advertisements. SOU 111 WAHD ELECTION. .'I FI3H will be happy to meet the Electors on WEDNESDAY EVENING, WATSON'S ROYAL HOTEL, WALKhR STREJLT, At 8 o'clock. A meeting willing to act as a Committee will be held immediately after. TO TuE ELECTORS OF SOUTH W:\ RD. aENTLF.MEN, -I have the honor to be a Candidate for the office of Councillor in South Ward, vacant by the resignation of Mr Fish. For reasons partly personal, and partly because I think they are of little real use, I do not intend to hold any meetings for the pur--1) 0 :e of addressing you, preferring to submit my opinions as clearly and fully as I can by means of the daily papers, so that you can quietly read them over at your leisure. Mr fish has chosen to attack me, as the nominee of one or more parties who wish, at ■-jreat cost, to cut clown Jiigh and Stafford streets. My position with regard to that matter is," and always has been, simply this : I desire that the best gradients for those streets should be laid down a- the permanent levelß. to be made when the 0> uncd have funds to do so. I have - my to a d that I should be n favor of, and support (t-übiect to above conditions), such Grant and William streets, and of street from Golden Age Hofcl to li tie beyond Melviile street; and these tre the only alterations which can at any time be effected. I believe, however, that this matter has been ettled for the present (in what manner I know not), and that I should have uo power to alter the decision of the (. ou&cil, even were I inclined to do so. Wich regard to the position of the Corporation to the Harbor Board, I held that''law makers should not be law breakers," that it is not to the credit of the' ity Council of Dunedin to take advantage of a legj quibbJe to drive a coach and four through an Act of Parliament, , and that such conduct cannot conduce to the ultimate benefit of this City. The first Corporation in New Zealand can afford to take far 1 higher ground. I believe that the continual disputes between the Harbor Board and Council, which have resulted in the kns of sundry reserves to the Corporation, might have been prevented by some forbearance, and an endeavor to act in a friendly way with the Harbor Board, and that there is no reason why the- two bodies, whoße real interes.s are identical, should not work harmoniously together. I should use my best efforts to piomote such result. The improvement of the Harbor is of the moßt vital importanc; to the City of Dunedin. The term Harbor and Quays Reserves shows on the face of it the purpose for which these reserves were made, and if the money receivei from them has paid threepence in the LI of the rates in the City (as stated by Councillor Walter), then the money has been mis-applied. I am opposed to undt rground drainage, save in exceptional circumstances, and on a very limited scale, believing that sewers are dangerous to health, very expensive to make and keep in order, and that with care and attention on the part of the people, they are unne cessary. lam in favor of the employment of the dry ea th system. most central and suitable for the erection of Town Hall and M*rk't, if the ground is legally available for such purpose. Gentlemen —Mr Fi hj stems unable to imagine that the words used by me at the nomination —'' considerable pressure " can have an innocent meaning Those who know me will, I think, give me credit for so using tkem. j iim pledge! to no one on any subject, but I have been a resident in your Ward for fifteen years. I have been repeatedly asked to become a candidate for the Ward, and it was only to-day, within an hour of the nomination, that, under "considerable pressure" from gentlemen I respect, that I consented I shall eoiioit no votes- I shall employ no <abs. I have no b'illi-mt promises to make, but should you elect me as your representative, I will give my best endeavors to work honestly for whole City, and Ward in particular* I am. Gentlemen. Your obedient servant, GRANf P. FARQUHAR. Tecember 23. 1876.
