WILSONE, -07 Returning Officer. r pO THE MUNICIPAL ELECTORS OP I MASTERTON.

Ladies and Gentlemen— Having acceded to the wishes of many Voters to becoino & Candidate for the vacant seat in the Borouh Council, I embrace this opportunity of stating thus publicly my views on some of the principal topics which will doubtless come before the Council in ,1 short time; and having a somewhat considerable stake in Masterton, 1 am, when studying the interests of the ratepayers generally, at the same time studying my own. If elected, my first endeavors will lie to have the drainage of the town thoroughly considered, With the increasing number of streets now being made. I think it is fully time that this important sanitary measure should be taken up in earnest. With regard to financial matters, I am of opinion that considerable alterations can be made with great advantage in the Borough. Amongst other matters, I would stroii'dy advocate the raising ot a sufficient loiu to be expended on necessary public work thereby developing the resources of M'hat must be considered the " coming" inland town of the North Island. There exists at the present time the greatest necessity for the immediate improvement of the main road at Knripuni, as its present unsafe condition is a standing disgrace to our Borough. This is one of the many cases which require prcojpt co.DLdcration at the hands of the Council lam also in favor of employing skilled professional assistance for the conduct of public works and on legal questions affecting the Council as I cannot but think that the gratuitous cervices if amateur lawyers and engineers prove in most cases to be but " a penny wse and pound fooli h" proceeding, I returned, I pledge myself to devote my best endeavors to the welfare of the public, and to do my share towards upholding''the dignity of the Council I beg to remain. Ladies and Gentlemen, , Yours faithfully, J, H, COBBBTT,
