Electoral TO THE BURGESRK.S <»F THE MIDDLE WAHD. T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— A* a Candidata for your Suffrage, I invite you to MEET MR at tie ACADEMY of MUSIC THIS EVENING at Eight o'clock. Other Candidate! cordially invited. 1C37 ». N. BKASBET. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE NORTH WARD. T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,—By Cirv -*^ cutor addressed to each of you I have already announced myself as a Candidate for a Beat in the Council and solicited your votes. Being 10 well known to moot of you, I did not nee the need for a more public declaration of my principles, or for a Public Meeting. But at it teems to be desired, I now add a few more remarks. For fire years I took an active part in all the business that came before the Council, especially in mining matters. I supported thai bargain, which fans been so much blamed, by which the Big Pump was kept going for two yean, and would do so again under similar circumstances. Also the freedom from Bating of Mining Property, while the Gold Duty continues to be charged. Economy with efficiency I believe in, but not in the cheap and nasty. If Elected, I would try to diminish rather tban increase our Bye-laws, ai I do not like to be over-gotjrned, and though not in the Council during the past year, yet I promoted a successful opposition to the.attempt* made in this discretion. I trust the Free Library will receive a sufficiency ef votes to bring the Act into operation, and whether elected or not I shall help to bring this about, and would like the Msyor to call a public meeting for Friday night for further ventilating of this important subject. I have asked no promises, but i( you do me the honour to place ma at the Head of the Poll, I shall serve you with pleasure. I remain, Your obedient servant, 1008 JAMES KENSHAW. ELECTORS OF NORTH WARD. j n ENTLEMEN,— I take this opportunity of informing yon that lam a CANDIDATE to represent you in the Municipal Council of Thames. If elected I shall make it my business to visit your several districts at various periods, and in laying your wants before the Council use my best endeavors to see the same attended to. I believe in all roads and water-works being made of a substantial and durable nature, and am not in favour of any temporary works, which I consider to be a waste of money. It is well known that good water is essential to the preservation of health, and that the sanatory condition of all the largely populated towns is dependent upon an abundant supply of the same. I shall endeavour to have the present water supply extended where it is most urgently required as soon as possible. I am in faror of a Free Library, and beiiere it would, if properly managed, be of an inestimable value to the whole population, and would advocate, in connectiou with the same institution, for the encouragement of arts and science*, for the promotion of various branches of industries, within our midst, especially goldmining, and for better means for gold saving. I believe by that meaas we would be forming the nucleus of a School of Mines for the Thames, and that we would have the assistance of the Government in carrying put of the same. I believe in negotiating for a loan at a low rate of interest to pay overdrafts and to carry out such works as are actually necessary within the Borough in an efficient and economical manner, and whilst representing you as Councillor of North Ward, will at the same time do my best in the interest of the whole Borough generally, and give my best attention to any question which may hereafter arise. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, SAMUEL BAWDEN. nIS SISTERS, AND HIS COUSINS, AND HIS AUNTS.
