Election Notices TO THE BUEGESSES OF THAMES. ri ENTLEMEN,—In offering myself as a candidate for election to the office of Councillor, I consider it due to the ratepayers to state my viewa on matters tbafc may come before the Council. The changes likely to result from the present Abolition measures before the.Assembly will undoubtedly give extended powcrß t3 our Municipal and Local Boards ; ana it behoves us to elect mon who aro not likely to be influenced by personal or other motives arising from their connection wi;h interests centred in Auckland. I am in favour of borrowing on tlie security of the foreshore far Municipal works, &nd using all proper efforts for the purpose of connecting the Waikato and other producing districts with the Thames. V • "... I believe the Council should use their united influence to connect Tuirua, Puriri, and other townships with the Thames by means of good dray roade in preference to mere tracks and cutting?. I am opposed to tho pment law which deprives a Eurgess of his vote because his rales aro not paid by a certain date. So long as tho Council accepts the rate a man's right to vote should be sacred. I am not in favour of the present rule or by-law which requires a ratepayer to form or assist in forming the footpath opposite his premises. With reference to official expenses, I am net an advocate of cheap service. I consider that an efficient officer should be well paid. These, gentlemen, are a few of my views on these matters, and if you tbiiik Tavaru and Grahamstown sufficiently reprefented—to put it modestly, some of the others will do as woll as myself. On the other hand, if you think there are any candidates connected with Auckland capitalists, or have a bit of land where they would like a wharf, or connected with certain timber interests, then likewise Burgesses VOTE FOE McGOWAN AND INDEPENDENCE. 1013 MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
