WESTLAND COUNTY COUNCIL. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN RIDING. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AT the request of a number of ratepayers, l have consented to offer myself as a candidate for the Southern Riding at the approaching County Council election. In soliciting your support, I would respectfully point out that I have a life long knowledge of the district I seek to represent and am conversant with its potentialities and requirements. My best endeavours will be put forth for the advancement of this Riding in particular and the County in general. The bridging of the rivers along the South road, the early completion of the Otira Tunnel, good roads for the settlers, improvements of the southern harbours for the development of the far South, Bhall have my special attention, and any other matters that may be brought, forward pertaining to the progress of the district. Hoping to merit your interest and vote on °polling day, Wednesday, November 10th., I have the honour to be, Yours faithfully, WM. SEARLE, Herepo.

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 ono of tiie representatives of the Southern Riding. My long and continuous residence in the Southern district has 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 necessary 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 ho a cardinal feature in that policy. The extension of the Ross Railway and the improvement of shipping facilites at. Okaritc, Bruce Ray, Okuru and Jackson’s Bay aro all necessary for the development of the land timber and flax of South Westland. For many years I have taken :. 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 at the services of the electors. If you do me the honour to elect me I 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.
