Miscellaneous. MAYORAL ELECTION. To the Burgesses of Patea. t ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— 8 j The unexpected resignation of Mr Milroy of the office of Mayor has led to an election at an earlier date than was anticipated. I had intended to have contested the next election in the ordinary course, and therefore when the present vacancy arose and some friends asked mo to be nominated I willingly agreed, as it has always been my pleasure to give my services to the public in any capacity in which they might bo of use. My name has been associated with Patea for the past fifteen years, .and during that time I have, endeavoured to the best of my ability to advance the interests of the town. Leaving private institutions—such as the Steam Company—out of the question,, I have had the honour of being connected with the Town Board since its formation in 1875, and subsequently with the Borough Council to the present time. I have also held office in the Harbour Board, the Domain Board, and in the Cemetery Board, the two latter of which I may say I took a loading part in obtaining the establishment of. There arc various other movements with which I have been associated from time to time, and I fed that the confidence and consideration always kindly extended to me by the public justify mo in asking n renewal on this occasion. If elected I shall endeavour by every means in my power to aid the Council in the improvement of the Borough, and the carrying out of such works as may be considered for the benefit of the place. I may add that if yon honour me with your confidence by electing me Mayor my; watchword will be “ Progress,” not “ Obstruction.” Once more soliciting the favour of your vote, I have the honour to remain, Your obedient servant, SAMUEL TAPLIN. POLLING DAY, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5. To the Ratepayers, Borough of Patea. r ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— 8 j Having been requested by a largo number of ratepayers to offer myself for the office of Mayor, it affords me great pleasure to accede to the request. My having been unanimously elected to the office of Mayor by the Borough Council, affords the best guarantee that I possess the confidence of that body, the harmonious working of which is essential to the progress of the town. Of the manner in which I discharged my past public duties, and of the principles by which my conduct was regulated, it is not for mo to speak. I may be said to have lived in your interest, and my conduct and actions have been open to you all. I have had many a hard battle to fight in the interest of the Harbour and Borough, but I am fully compensated by the satisfaction of knowing that in general my efforts have been honoured with your approbation. I can say that I have never been remarkable for bold, active, and sanguine pursuits of advantages that are personal to myself, hut have considered every question- with Impartiality, fidelity and freedom, supporting or otherwise as my judgment prescribed. I am fully sensible of the necessity for the exercise of great care in the future administration of the Borough, and believe that by careful management this town will become one, of the most flourishing on the coast. Should you do me the honour to elect me to the office I now seek, I will use every effort and care to promote your interest and welfare in which my own is so intimately bound. I have the honour to be, Yonr obedient servant, ROBERT ALBERT ADAMS. TO LET.—One four roomed cottage with three acres of land securely fenced. For particulars apply to P. Mahony and Co.
