I would vote for a measure setting, apart, for educationa purposes, a sum from the ordinary reyenuie.'' The Roads' Ordinance does not answer satis factorjly, and I would vote for its repeal I consider that the main trunk roads shoulc be made and maintained by the • Proviiv cial Government, and the bye-roads by Dis trict Road Boards, having power to levy rates t< " be subsidised by Government. '< With reference to the Town Board , I am 6 opinion that it is a good and 'useful institution c but that it requires remodeling. I would sup port a bill for that purpose, assimilating the con stitution of the Board to the Municipal Councils which have been so effective in Australia am elsewhere. I should be altogether opposed t< municipal affairs being placed in the hands of tin Provincial Government. I will not pledge myself to vote for any par ticular person as Superintendent, but will 1 wai initil I know who are the candidates ; but shouL certainly vote for the one whom I considered bes fitted, to fill tllC office and promote the interests o the Province. In conclusion, I beg again to thank the Elector who have invited me to come forward as a Candi date, and I pledge myeeli, if elected, to fulfil thi duties of your representative in a conscientiou ', manner, sparing no pains to advance the interest - of Invercargill and of Southland generally. O] questions of public works which may b< brought under the consideration of tin a Provincial Council I should give my vot y independently ; but on matters in which '. a might be personally interested I should be silent a My conduct as a member would be constantly 5 before you ; and, should you at any time feel dis i, satisfied, I would resign my trust on receiving > V requisition to that eflect from two-thirds of nr supporter I I am, Gentlemen, f Your Obedient Servant, 3 tc J- R- DAVIES. i TO SAMUEL HODG-KINSON, ESQ f ' \KJ"E, the' undersigned Electors for the town o: 3 VV RIVERTON, respectfully request thatyoi 3 will allow yourself to be put in nomination as i .
