THE WAIMATE ADVERTISER.
SATURDAY, NOV. 29, IS9S.
On Wednesday next the Mayoral oleotion takes place, and we would give a last word of advice to the burgesses ere they decide upon whom to bestow their vote 3. There are two candidates, Dr Barclay and Mr C. Y. Clai'ke, both well-known in the district. Mr Clarke has enjoyed the office on several occasions and Dr Barclay has been a member of the Council, and a very energetic member too. Everyone ii> Waunate professes to believe that better tunes are Just ahead, and therefore it beUQves the ratepayers to set at the head of aliairs a thoroughly capable man, a man whose interests and those of the Borough are identical. And. to accomplish thia they cannot d,o better than, elect Dr Barclay. It is being said that the Doctor will not be able to put much of his tune at th,e disposal of the Borough. Borough affairs should not take up a great deal of time, and. b,urgesses may rest assured thfl,t thjs matter wa,s given careful consideration before th,e Doctor consented, to stand for electiqn. Anqtfyer argument brought forward by some i« that he is in favour of the water-supply. But evan if this scheme does not meet with general approval, let i$ be'^Qrne in mind that it cannot be. Carried, without the ratepayers' conaent, l and, there is not at present the, slightest probability of tjhe burgesses agreeing tq #ie raising of the necessary loau of about ift&QQO, so that tfais question need not enter intq th,e matter at 'all; Dr Barclay is certain tq do, his beat for the Borqugl;, a,s, he owns, a, large jwnaunt.of improved, property in- the, , Borough, while tho 'other, candidate qualifies* for election by holding, a' small , uiuuvJ, t proved section. , I'his^year -pQspihh^ for, reason^ akeady re, feared; ~ to' in, t^ess 'columns, mark an ; epoch in tlie f ]^i^or.y of 1 -;\Vaimate, |q thaj^ once^ in.bjre ,^w| urge/th* I*> !rateji>!yer|^ tneir jybtes J > and-, td/rjemember >- that lithey" 1 are •ndt^Sirig^r'am^ earn'WtWd- fM^^SSi^S^^&i'
