WESTLAND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. THE ANNUAL MEETING of the above will be held at the County Chambers at 8 o’clock on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2nd. Business: ReceptI ion of report and balance sheet; election of officers, and general business. All members are invited to attend. The General Committee meets as usual at 7.30 o’clock. D. J. EVANS, Hon. Sec. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN RIDING. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AT the request of many of the ratepayers, I have decided to become a candidate. at the forthcoming County Election for the position of one of the representatives of the Southern Riding. My long and continuous residence in the Southern district lias given me a thorough knowledge of its resources and requirements. I recognise that the completion of the Otira Tunnel joining Westland with Canterbury makes it absolutely recessary that a vigorous Public Works policy by both Government and County should be undertaken in order that the remoter districts should receive, the fullest benefit from that work. The bridging of all rivers from the Waiho South should be a cardinal feature in that policy. The extension of the Ross Railway and the improvement of shipping facilites at. Okaritc, Bruce Bay, Okuru and Jackson’s Bay are all necessary for the development of the land timber *nnd flax of South Westland. For many years I have taken a keen interest in the development of that district and in this connection. • I find that without some constituted standing individual effort has little or no effect. I do not seek election for personal aggrandisement or gain, but feel that I°should place the close and practical knowledge of the district ‘what I possess s>t the services of the electors. If you do me the honour to elect me! shall use my best endeavours to assist the progress .and development of South Westland on the lines indicated above. I have the honour to remain, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, JOHN RITCHIE.

TO THE ELECTORS OP THE CENTRAL RIDING. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: 4 T THE REQUEST of a number of ratepayers, I have consented to contest a seat for the Central Riding of tli c Westland County Council at the forthcoming election. As a resident and ratepayer of many years standing, I claim to be fully conversant with the requirements of the district, and '.f honoured with your confidence, will at all times do my utmost to advance the interests of the Riding in particular, and the County generally. While sirous of curtailing any useless expenditure, I am in favour of a more progressive policy in regard to improved road construction, and would give my earnest- attention to the better maintenance of traffic bridges throughout the Riding. The deplorable Istate t f many of our smaller bridges and culverts, I consider, warrant-s more durable material being used in their reconstruction. If elected I will do my best to assist all classes of industry matter coming before the Council for the betterment of Westland generally will receive my support. In conclusion, I trust to merit your interest and support on polling day. I have the honour to be, , Your obedient Servant, H. H. MONK, Koiterangi. c CHRODERS’ Are Now Showing The Newest Millinery Styles For Spring Wear French and Eng= lish Models. INSPECTION INVITED. SCHRODER
