TO THE BUEGESSEs OP MASTERTON. TADIES AKD GENTHEMEN, - The JU following are the views I hold on some of the questions now before the public . The most prominent, on account of repeat sickness, isf.drainage.- This is a most important question, and could it be carried out in a satisfactory manner without-materially increasing the rates it would liavo my warmest support, But I am afraid, to be carried. ;■ out in an efficient manner, it will prove to be utterly, beyond our present resources, ■ A large supply of water with good pressure, would be needed to flush the drains, otherwise they would become Stagnant, thus aggravating the-evil they were intended to remove. Another groat difficulty will be the objections of landowners having river frontages to tbo pollution of tho water by sewage, thereby giving riso to endless lawsuits, The only practical remedy I see without largo cost is a thorough periodical inspection of premises by the officer employed lor that purpose, with full power to enforce oleanlinesß, the substitution of Abysiniau pipes for open wells, and in cases of dangerous epidemics to isolate the persons infected. A high pressuro water supply is too costly, and for household purposes is not needed, wo having a puvo supply under our feet, easily obtainable by driving pipes. But for fire prevention a supply is badly needed, and could be obtained from tho creek- behind Mr Cole's house, at a cost of a few hundred pounds, A steam fire-engine is also wanted, but will probably not be obtained until many times its value is sacrificed by fire, Gas should be taken in haud by local enterprise as far as possible, and 1 will do my best, not by talk, but in a inure practical manner to make _it a success, i'ho size of the Borough if at all possiblo should be considerably reduced. cuttng out farm lands that shouldnever have -been included. It is unjust to the -fai mers,- and retards the' pro-> gress of the the town proper, ; Streot .construction should not be neglected but pushed on with during the summer months. Yours, &o„ 1782 James Mdir.

TO THE RATEPAYERS OF THE BOROUGH OF MASTERTON, AND GENTLEMENHavmg been requested to allow myself to be nominated for a Beit at the Council, and finding I will have suffloiont time at my disposal, I have much pleasure in responding and soliciting your suffrages at the approaching annual election. IE returned I can only assure you that I shall endeavor to expend your rates on works of utility, and in other respects I shall strive to promote the prosperity of the Borough by helping, as far as practicable, every useful movement. I am, fa„ 1773 THOS. P. GIRDWOOD. TO THE RATEPAYERS OF THE BOR. OUGH OF MABTERTON, T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN. —ln " L * response to a large and influentia requisition I have much pleasure in offering my services as your representative'. The following are my views on some leading local questions: Gas,—lf possible should be supplied by a local co-operative consumers company, without Wellington or any other outside assistance, Dhainage, eic— A small loan would, I consider, be necessary for a drainage and Bewage scheme, bo that the public health may be protected. The powers of the Sanitary Inspector should be increased and a public Bcavenger appointed. Water SumY,—Masterton is so wel supplied with water that an expensive 'scheme is unnecessary. For fire prevention the Brigade need encouragement rather than an increased supply of cold water from the Council. Stiieets.—The streets in the outlying parts of the Borough havonot received the attention they desorve. Those on the schedule already published by the Council should be completed at once. Borough Overdraft.—This I would en. deavor to wipe off and save-three to four per cent interest by raiaiug a moderate loan. If time and opportunity permits I intend to invite you to meet me, and lay my \iew on these and other questions more fully before you. lam, Ladits and Gentlemen, Yours Most Obediently, 1773 WALTER RAPP,

If elected I shall do my best to promote the interests of the Borough by attending as far as practicable to public works of general utility without increasing the liability of the ratepayers. I trust that my Ion? residence and the fact that my interests are completely bound up with those of the Burgesses, will prove a sufficient passport to your confidence. I have the honor to be, Your Obedient Servant, 1772 B. M, GALLOWAY. TO THE RATEPAYERS OF THE BOR- .
