Electoral Notices TO THE BUKGKsSES OP THE WARD OP TK ARO. LADIES & GENTLEMEN;—I offer myself as a Candidate to represent your Ward in the. City Council, to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of Mr. P. Moeller. My opinions on Municipal matters are so well known that it is needless to issue a long address. I am in favar of a Town Hall, but think it better to wait a few years, and then erect on the Market Reserve a Hall and Market worthy of the city, costing it may be £40,000 or £50,000. The site in Peatheraton;street could be sold, and the proceeds expended on the streets and footpaths. I I am also in favor of Mr. Climie’s Drainage Scheme, and should vote for its immediate execution, making it compulsory for all properties to be connected with the sewers. I should advocate the appointment of an Inspector of Weights, Measures, and Gas .Meters, whose duty it also should be to test the quality of the gas supplied. Also the appointment of another rate collector, making it compulsory on them to call on the ratepa;. ers for payment of the ratepayers. Having plenty of time on my hands, I should do my best to make Wellington what it ought to be—the cleanest and healthiest city in the world.

As you must by this time be pretty well sated with electioneering, I shall call no meetings, but leave it to you at the ballot-box. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Yours obediently, C. MuODY. Adelaide-road, March 20, 1877. rp O MR. EDWARD DIXON.

SIR, —We, the undersigned ratepayers of LambtonWard, respectfully request that you will allow yourself to be nominated as a candidate to fill the vacanc y in the City Council caused by the retirement of Mr. Joe Dransfield. In the event of the election being contested, we pledge ourselves to use our utmost endeavors to secure your return. We have to honor ta be, sir, Yours faithfully, J. Mountain Edward McDonald Thus.

GENTLEMEN,—I shall be much pleased to accede to your request to he nominated as a candidate for LambtonWard, and thank you for the confidence it implies. For the first time in have now ample time to devote to the duties of the office, and will, if | elected, do my best for your interests. I think] that the Town Hall project may be now hung up till we can afford to put up a building of brick or stone, without trenching on money, wanted more urgently’ for useful works, such as street-making. .While considering drainage all-important, I would object strongly to committing the ratepayers to auy scheme without first securing the professional opinion of disinterested experts that the plan was likely to be efficient, economical, and the best to be followed under the circumstances. I do not think this has been done yet with respect to the scheme at present under consideration. Hoping to see Wellington the seaport for the seaboard of half of New. Zealand—North and South —I would endeavor to minimise the expense of receiving and delivering goods in this port. I should be glad to hold out every inducement for. the erection of- brick- party walls throughout the town in case of fire, and to encourage the erection of more substantial buildings. -1 think that we should endeavor to make Wellington more comfortable to the members of the Legislature, whose presence here annually, at great personal sacrifice, does incalculable good. I would endeavor to. put the magnificent public reserves we possess to more popular use, and resist the alienation of them, either permanently or for an unreasonable time, as I am convinced that they will soon become essential to the health of a city rapidly increasing in population. e J J. A. ALLAN.

GENTLEMEN, —The best reward, and the only one a person can expect who serves the public, is the way in which his services are appreciated. The requisition you have sent to me is the best proof that you consider I did my duty when I served the city on the Board of Works and in the Municipal Council. The requisition signed by so many respectable citizens and firms is Indeed enough to encourage me to allow myself to be put in nomination tor Lambton Ward ; and if the citizens choose to elect me, I will endeavor to serve them faithfully. I will not hold any meeting, nor give any promises ; but as each subject comes before me, I will give it my careful consideration, and either support or reject it as I think is best for the interest of the city. Heartily thanking you, gentlemen, fpr good opinion of me, and your respectable requisition, I am your obedient servant, JOHN PLIMMER. Wellington, March 23, 1877.
