The Feilding Star. TUESDAY, DEC. 18, 1888. Borough Affairs
♦ In another column we publish a brief address from Mr John Gould, who is a candidate for the suffrages of his fellow burgesses, at the election for a seat in the Borough Council, to take place on Friday next. The address is like the man — plain, straightforward, honest, and unpretending. It has in it strong evidence of sound common sense, combined with a firm resolve to do his best to further the interests of the Borough and all connected with it. He is in favor of retrenchment and strict economy, with a regard, at the same time, to efficiency in the public service of the Borough. It will be seen that he is opposed to further borrowing, because he thinks the ratepayers have enough taxation to bear already, in one form or another. With this public expression of sound principles, and the knowledge that every one in the Borough and district has that Mr Gould is a man of the strictest probity, and of undoubted capacity for the management of public affairs, we feel sure the electors will show their appreciation of his public spirit in coming forward at a time like the present when men of his Stirling character are so much needed, and place him at the head of the poll.
