Electoral Notices 0 THE ELECTORS OP THE CITY OF WELLINGTON. GENTLEMEN.—In offering myself as a candidate for the vacancy, in the representation of the city, I do so in the conviction that my political opinions areyery much in unison with those of a majority of the electoral body. I am very, strongly in. favor of a vigorou prosecution of the Public Works policy, in do far as the. completion iof unfinished lines of useful railway and other reproductive undertakings is concerned.. ,1. regard ,it as a public loss that railway lines, such as that fronr Wellington to ;Masterton, should not have been pushed on more expeditiously in the past. The group of Local Government Acts which became law in 1878 are 'essentially sound in principle. They preserve the true tradition of British liberty; but having. been factiously opposed in their progress, and - ultimately passed in haste, the Acts themselves-require amendent in detail. Their consideration and improvement should form an important item of parliamentary business next session. To derive the full" benefit which an extension of Public ~Works_ and the institution of Local Government iB capable of conferring upon the country, bur land laws require further revision, so. that settlement by an industrious population may easily be effected without burdensome conditions'. ; ':' A general systenLof free primary education, whereby the children of .the- colony can be taught useful knowledge, without reference to religious dogmay.ought to be one ;of the earliest measures brought before Parliament, a measure I should have much satisfaction r in supporting. 1 1 am an earnest advocate of economy and retrenchment in Government expenditure, wherever these can be applied without detiiment to the public service. Knowing that the members; of,; the Goveruf ment are -administering : ', the -.-,affairs .of the country satisfactorily ; believing, moreover, that they are,; fully, aware c£ the requirements of the colony," and will; be, jprepared at the proper time, to submit to the Legislature such measures as; may be necessary ■to meet their requirements;—l have .no hesitation "iu stating that the-present Government should have my firm support. It seems almost .unnecessary for me to add that any proposalslKkely to militate against the permanent establishment of -the city of Wellington as the.Beat-.of~Government -for a united'colony, would"'eneounter my most strenuous opposition; while everything tending to. advance its interests '. might reckon,'. with equal certainty/ion my hearty support. And I can see no reason to anticipate the least likelihood of .divided counsels 'amongst those who are actuated by similar views on these Kespectfully soliciting your suffrages, I have the honor to be, ; -'■ ; Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, .WILLIAM-HUTCHISON. ■inrTELLINGTQN CITY COUNCIL. :,-:'■ TE ARO WARD.
