TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CENTRAL RIDING.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN : AT THE BEQUEST of a number of ratepayers, I have consented to contest a seat for the Central Riding of tli e 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 if honoured with your confidence, will at all times do my utmost to advance the interests of tlie Biding in particular, and the County generally. While desirous of curtailing any useless expenditure, I am in favour of a more pro- . gressive policy in regard to improved I road construction, and would give my earnest attention to the better maintenance of traffic bridges throughout the Biding. 'Tlie deplorable istate if many of our smaller bridges and culverts, I consider, warrants more durable material being used in tlieir reconstruction. If elected. I will do my best to assist all classes of industry and any 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 tlie honour to, be, Your obedient Servant, 11. H. MONK, Koiterangi.
