Your obedient servant, 2138 CHARLES'E. BRIGGS. TO THE BURGESSES OP THE CITY OP CHRISTCHURCH. | TENTLEMEN, —At the suggestion of vTT several influential citizens, I am induced to offer you my services as a representative in the City Council. My actions and my opinions are, I think, tolerably well known to you. As regards the Public Reserves. I have always maintained that Christchurch needed an addition to them, and therefore it may reasonably be assumed that I should on no account advocate the curtailment of the public privileges in the Domain ; but as this is not a city property the chances of so absurd a violation of public right being committed are of course materially diminished. If you do me the honor to elect me, I shall be found always at the post of duty, and I will, to the best of my ability, endeavor so to shape my conduct as to entitle me to your favorable consideration hereafter. Your obedient servant, 2137 A. A VERS. BOROUGH OP SYDENHAM. ELECTION OF COUNCILLORS.
