Yours, faithfully, 2732 ACTi'N ADAMS. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY /OF NELSON. GENT-^EN^Tbeg tdr\ solicit your Votes as a^^andidate for representing the City of Nelson in^the next Provincial Council. I am the more emboldened to claim your support/because I have willingly undertaken the riumerous honorary offices you have requested me to fill during the past tvEeaty years, and, as I hope, generally to your^satisfactibn. As I hold opinions stfmewhat opposed to the traditional ideas of our Provincial Government, 1 seek a-_feeat_.in.tjjre Council to enforce, if pos- ; sible, on pur future Superintendent and Executive, the" necessity^ of their initiating Public Works and opening up the country, and not limiting the functions of Government, as hitherto, to mere administration. The past four years have been so trying and depressing/to the bulk of the inhabitants of the Provincey that a considerable number of our population have emigrated to other places, the causey- this depression and exodus I attribute in a great measure to the supineness of the governing body in not providing work for our then surplus labor, and thus retailing our laborers until they settled down to some remunerative employment. M Epr this mistaken policy we shall now/he compelled to pay a heavy 1 - phce"Th--mfjro^3Sg people to supply the laborrtbat will soon be . requirtd in developing our coal^iron, and other -treasures.
