Electoral BOKOUGH COUNCIL : LECTION. TO THE BUBGEiSSES OF THE SOUTH WARD. ; HAVING- been a Member of the Borough! Council since the Borough wW iricor-j porated, I am once more a CANDIDATE! FOR RE-ELECTION. The division of the; Borough info wards having necessitated a\ general election, I have chosen to stand forj South Ward, and therefore ask for the votes of the Burgeuaes in your ward. I need riot refer to my past services further than to say that I have'always been actuated; with a deßire to promote the welfare of the Borough; and as there are likely to be important changes during the next period for which I Borough Councillors will be elected; I con-; eeive it would be well for burgesses to elect some men who have had experience in the working of municipal institutions. It ii with: such a view I again offer myself as a candidate, ; and, if elected, I shall, while looking well to| thje interests of South Ward, keep in view; the. general prosperity and advancement of the Borough as a whole. I need, riot cay that tny interests are so intimately connected with, and dependent on, the progress of the: Borough, that if no other .incentive to do my; duty towards you faithfully existed, regard: for my' own concerns would induce mo to do ■o. I consider that in order to fully carry out the privileges of local self government, the different bodies should work in harmony together. Having the pleasure of a personal and friendly acquaintance with the members of other corporations, I shall be able to encourage and cultivate a spirit of conciliation between their sometimes conflicting interests,* and it will always be my desire to co-operate with them in any movement for the general good. We have many interests in common, and it will only be by united action that we can secure what are really our rights, gush as endowment! for Borough and County, Harbor Works, and Charitable Institutions, the construction, of the Thames and Waikato Railway, and ethers which I need not enumerate. - Trusting that my former services will entitle me to your consideration at the poll on Thursday, ' I am, yours Tory obediently, L. EHRENFRIED. 3112 ' BOEOUGH COUNCIL ELECTION.. TO THE BUEGESSES OF THE j SOUTH WAED. T ADIES- AND GENTLEMEN,—As a _LJ Candidate soliciting your support at the ensuing election, I deßire briefly to touch on a few matters relating to Municipal. politics. I may say that, as an independent Can-, didate, nominated by no, clique or party, having no interests to serve but yours, I will, if elected, do my best to secure for this Ward its fair share of improvements ' I a.m in favour of accepting the lowest tenders for all supplies and works required: by the Borough, and am also of opinion that Councillors should have as little to do with these contracts as possible. I am not at' present in favour of a water rate, as it would fall pn a considerable number' who are not in a position to have water laid, on to their premises. With regard to asphalting the footpaths, lighting.the streets, and other desirable improvements, I apprehend the Council will have to be guided by the amount of funds' at its disposal. Further taxation is undesirable, more especially so as a large proportion of this Ward is still held under lease from the ' native owners. I would consider it tbe duly of the Council never to ceaee urging our claims on the Government for some substantial endowment, which we undoubtedly need more than any Southern Municipalities, who have received largo grants of land. lam in favour of inducing the district of Parawai to become- part, and a separate Ward, of tbe Borough, as I think such union would be of mutual advantage. I am not in favour of voting the Mayor's expenses, for his trip to Wellington, out of , Municipal funds—in fact this* question I would eonsider'almost unnecessary to answer, as the Mayor was not sent by the Council. Certain p3rflons belonging to the County clique ace now circulating the rumour that I am disqualified from taking a seat in the Council through not being born a British subject; but even were I not naturalized I would still be qualified for a member in a local governing body. I would respectfully request you to pay no attention to these election dodges. I am opposed to all unnecessary expenses in connection with elections. Burgesses should exercise their privileges uninfluenced nnd independently, assured that'the vote by ballot gives to every one perfect liberty and security to do so. Yours faithfully, J.E.HANSEN.
