i Electoral Notices // ’r|3Q THE BURGESSES OF THE WARD ‘ X OF TE ARO. , I.ADIES & GENTLEMEN,—I offer my'aelf as a Candidate to represent your Ward in jthe City Council: to.fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of Air. 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 Keatherstonstreet could be sold, and the proceeds expended on the streets and footpaths. , i lam 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 GaMeters, 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 rate payers far payment of the ratepayers, i 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. ■ ■ i , . . • 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.

For the first time in Wellington I 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 bung u'p till we can afford Jo put' up a building of brick or stone, trenching on money wanted., more urgently for ‘ useful works, such ala street-making.- Wgijle considering drainage all-important, I would object strongly to committing the ratepayers "to any scheme, without first securing the" pf-ofessiuhal opinion of disinterested experts tbit the plan was likely to ije 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 pf receiving and'delivering goods in this’port. -1 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'; ; 'T think that we should endeavor to make Wellington more comfortable to the members of the'’Legislature, whose presence here anpually,.. at great personal, sacrifice, does incalculable goods I would endeavor to put'the-mkguifi'cent public reserves we', possess.to more popular use, and resist the alienation if therii/either permanently dr for an vmrea,qohable4ime, as I am convinced that they will goon become essential to the health of a city rapidly, increasing in population. . i 1 • J.

The requisition you have sent te me is the heat 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 putin nomination for Lambton Ward ; and if the citizens choose to elect me, I will endeavor to serve them faithfully.
