A request hnving bcenmndo to mo thnt I should givo somo expression to my views in respect to my candidnturo as n member for tho Provincial Council of Canterbury, I willingly do so, although briolty, ns it would bo unfair to thoso who hnvo clone mo tho honor of bringing mo forward, ns well as to myself, were tho electors loft in tho dark on this matter. I am in favour of rond lines being laid out from tho bench lino to tho various diggings, in order thnt tho ncccssnrics of lif'o nnd tho mntorinls required by tho mining population bo acquired nt a modorato prico. Thnt tho various townships on tho West Const should bo withdrawn from tho operations of tho Goldfiolds Act, tho snmo to bo immediately survoyed and allotments sold on nn equitnblo bnsis. Tho largo oxpondiluro in building nlrcndy contracted by tho earlier settlors rcquiro this . Provision should nlso bo inndo for the acquiring leasos of agricultural areas without delay. Hospitals for tho sick, and properly qualified medical attondanco in tho various mining centros. Choapor Food. — Tho prosont famino prices prccludo tho goldfiolds from being properly opened up and dovolopcd. Tho necessity of tho ports bohig immediately openod must force itsolf on tho attention of tho authorities if stops nro tnkon by tho lnrgo populntion to nialco it known. Tho prohibition as to tho driving of caltlo from Iho Otago and Southland provinces should bo sot nsido, ns it. is well-known that thoro nro largo herds of cnttlo to bo acquired thoro ut a lower ralo thnu can bo procured in Iho Australian market.

Tho Snnitory condition of Ilokitika, tho Groy township nnd othor parts apponr to mo to bo sadly neglected, at least, so fur ns Ilokitika hns como undor my obsorvnlion. "What should bo a promenade, whovo honlth nnd recreation mny bo onjoyed, hns bcromo a porf'ect nuisanco from Iho slaughter houses, and other deleterious influoncos, besides tho dnngor to Hfo and limb. Thoso nvo somo of tho most important mnllors wluoh appear to mo should bo brought at onco boforo tho notico of Iho nulhoritiof}, nnd should 1 bo elected I will do my bosl to hnvo them carried out.
