SECIL MEDOALFE, 3732 Business Agent, TO THE BURGESSES OF THE City of Christchurch. Gentlemen, —At the request of many of the oldest and most respected citizens I have been induced to again place my services at your disposal. It has been represented to me that as I have no business to claim my attention, but, on the contrary, plenty of leisure and at the same time large interests to protect, that I have a duty to perform towards myself as well as the public. Gentlemen, I confess some surprise at the apathy shown, and the great reluctance of most people to take a share in public business. To me it was always a laborof love, and I was never so happy as when taking my share in looking after the general works of the city. I must confess to a feeling of considerable anxiety as to the growing taxation of the citizens ; what with city rates ; general, special, loan, Waimakariri, educational, and last, but not least, the new Drainage Board rates, Christchurch bids fair to become the heaviest taxed city in the Southern Hemisphere. If I am elected to represent you, it shall be my constant endeavor to exercise a strict vigilance, and keep down the rates as low as is consistent with the carrying out of necessary works. Gentlemen, I am not disposed to make a personal canvass, I have no committee or any party acting on my behalf. I belong to no clique, I base my claim to y o ur suffrages upon my long and faithful services to the city, and if you do me the honor to elect me one of your representatives, you may rest assured whatever ability I may possess, or experience gained, shall be devoted to the city of Christchurch, I am, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, 3700 M.
