Gl ENIJ&KtfEN, — Acceding to the request of fscveral influential electors, I am a Candidate ■to fee one of t your representatives in the next Nelson Provincial Council.. I consider it will be the imperative duty of the Provincial Government and Council to systematically initiate and carry out such a Policy of Public Works as will have the effect of fully opening up^ the interior of the Provino!>and developing its vast minerat resources. If>seeted, I would strongly support such a poliej because the successful development of our minerals must produce commercial prosperity in the Province, and ultimately tend to make Nsson, what it : ought to be, a large manufacturing district. I am in Javor of the Port/of Nelson being placed under the control of a /Harbor Board," to be constituted for the purpoje; and, notwithstanding tb« R por^ of the Select Committee of the late Council, iWiouM, if elected, move in . the matter in the Council. / As to the Nelton and Wjlt Coast Railway, my views are well known tqj^a.
