ENTLEMEN,— Having this day rev3T ceived a requisition, signed by upwards of sixty of my fellow citizens, requesting me to allow myself to be nominated for one of the seats about to become vacant in our Municipal Council, I take this opportunity of informing you that I accede to their request with a great deal of pleasure. The manufacturing and building interests of Christchurch have now become of great importance, and, to my mind, should receive every consideration at tho hands of the Council. If opportunity occurs, I shall consider it a special duty to foster and protect them. If elected, I shall endeavor to devote the time required to fulfil the duties of the office with credit to myself and to the satisfaction of tho ratepayers. In conclusion, believe me, I shall esteem it a very great honor to subscribe myself Your obedient servant, 2192 E. H. BANKS. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE CITY OF CHRISTCHURCH. GENTLEMEN,— At the suggestion of 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 i* 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 matorialiy 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.
