Election Notices. ; *■ -*- PA EO A* E L E C T I O N FOR, THE OPROYENCIALGODXCTL. „f O ■ TO ! THE, ELECTORS. „r 7/ Gentlemen:— , ••.. ■■ ..;. : >::' - r - - Having b^n asked by a largenumber or Electors to offer myself as a Candidate for the ensuing Provincial Council, I have decided to- do so ■without- the necessity "of' haying a requisition presented, as it appears to me that a requisition and the ballot are somewhat at. variance in principle, and as ,l^ shall take an early opportunity ;of .addressing you in the various centres of population on the chief topics that are likely to come before the Counbil, I shall'now oiily briefly give you an outline of the principles that! would guide me in. the Council, if J shouJd ? :have the. honor to be'elected. , . ; . . : „ ,, \_r '. , 1. I am opposed to the sale of any.auri-." ferdus land that can be worked by the miner; \ J object to' capitalists having the privilege of > buying : large tracts of Jand-at 10s an acre; for ? mere speculation, whereas a poor man ?) want,-! 'ing a small homestead of 10 or 20 acres, is icharged .£1 or even £2"an , acre. .1 am in, favor of such an "amendment inthe Waste' Lands Act that would permit a. man to 'occupy a piece of land, an^ to ; have the privilege of turning out his cattle on the ; Waste Lands adjoining/ all- rental paid for it j being part of the purchase money, providing ; that the miner should have free access to : search for gold on all; uncultivated ..gronnd • without compensation for 20 years. : " '! | : 2. I believe the: time has arrived when j such an alteration in our ;061d'-Mriing Kegulations might be adyantageously'madein old) I gold-fields, such as are 'to' 1 be 'found in the I district of Paroa, that would prevent any junnecessary interference- with .patties Avho"? have' been at ; a great inbrinaing ;in ; 'water* I also contend that. an Act having. I been passed making a miner's right available [for Nelson and Westland Gold-fields^ oughtj l to be proclaimed at once.". ., „ I 3. Being always in'favorof local self-go-ivernment, I, nevertheless, think that aa ■anomaly exists in having two such.bodies-rr-. .a Provincial Council and Road .Boards irtso- ; thinly a scattered: population, ; and I belieVe the latter ought to be dispensed with, tolls" being substituted oh inaia roads that would? keep them in repair.. . -.. :,.-. ; ; - .. ; v/-: 1 4. lam favorable to borrowing money .for; I public works that canibe shown to.be reprb-j iductive. .■';'.:;.. ■,-.■:; /•:;;.'■-■: .-■•;■.;• ' Jv,r?

Amongst the public works that I con- ! sider necessary in the district, I would men--1 tiou the continuation of the .Greymouth and ; Paroa road through E,ui;herglen, till it joins? i the Marsden road. A road from : Marsden tb i Limestone, one also to Cameron's, and the road continued from Cariboo to Irishman's. i Abiidge over the New Kiyer is indispensable, \ and any other necessary" work will be freely I advocated by me. ! 7.
