Electoral Notices J-y AMB TO N WARD. To J. A. ALLAN, Esq., Wellington. SIR, —We, the undersigned ratepayers of LambtonWard, respectfully request that you will allow yourself to be nominated as a candidate to fill the vacancy 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 to be, sir. Yours faithfully, Edward McDonald Jacob Eraukel H. E. Logan J. Mountain Thos. K. Warburton Alfred Lindsay James Wallace J. H. Cook Taylor and Company B. Levy F. T. Wilson I Peter Laing O. Whitehead Wm. Baird M. McCredie J. John Hill James Gear W. Clark W. H. Lucas John McDonald C. E. W. Willeston William Fife Charles McKirdy J. E. Hayes To Messrs. F. Mountain, J. Gear, P. Laing, C. J. Toxward, C. McKirdy, and 20 others. GENTLEMEN, —I shall be much pleased to accede to your request to be nominated as a candidate for Lambton Ward, and thank you for the confidence it implies. 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 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 any 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 walla throughout the town in case of fire, and to encourage the erection of more substantial buildings. I 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. J. A. ALLAN. T O JOHN PLIMMER, ESQ. DEAR SIR, —We, the undersigned Ratepayers of Wellington, request that you will allow yourself to be Nominated to represent Lambton Ward, in the place of J. Dransfield, Esq., resigned:— E. W. Mills Geo. Hunter George Thomas John M. Richardson Walter J. Nathan W. G. Jackson W. Thompson Arthur Fisk D. T. Stuart R. Ceilings Wm. Kayll James Hooper Joseph Nathan & Co. Plimmer, Reeves, & Co. J. McDowell & Co, Arthur Beauchamp G. H. Vennell Thos. W. Mills William James Whittem,Nicholson&Co. Samuel Brown R. Port J. Ballinger Krull & Go, Wellington, March 22, 1877. To Messrs. Geo. Hunter, E. W. Mills, J. McDowell, and the other gentlemen signing the requisition. 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 for 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, for good opinion of me, and your respectable requisition, I am your obedient servant, JOHN PLIMMER. Wellington, March 23, 1877. Tenders rp 0 CONTRACTORS.
