AND GENTLEMENAe a candidate for tho office of Mayor, I did not think it necessary to address you.asto my vietson Municipal matters are well known to all. Bnt alter hearing Mr Hornbloiv's remarks about tho Council and myself, at the risk ol being considered personal, I take the liberty of replying to some ol them.

Bo High Pressure "Water Supply.—Mr Hornblow says" Tho more he looked into it the greater tho fraud it appeared to be. Why should tho ratepayers bo taxed to water somibody'sgarden ?" Now, I say that until ho had thought oi conterling the Mayoralty, he was a strenuous supporter ot high pressure water supply. His support of Mr llenall's soheme is also characteristic Next, as to Gas Works.—The Council is taxed with incompetence and neglect, and he says In effect "put me in the chair and I will make the works pay 10 or 16 per cent, profit." Also that It would take from £6OO to £lllOO l>i put the works in oidc*. Now since Cue erection oi the works the first wator tank has leaked badly, and Mr Hornblow says he is in favour of a cast iron tank lor that. Now that alone is estimated to cost £1,500. So muoh for hit financial ability. 't he second-hand holder was purchased on the recommendation, and constructed unJcr the supervision of their Manoger.and although It is not altogether satisfactory, yet Mr Hornblow's remarks about it being " utterly useless," are great nonsense. His personal remarks about myself 1 will pass over. They are unworthy of notice. He also accuses the Oounoil of'' Deceit and dishonesty." 1 challenge him to prove an instance. Mr Hornblow also claims credit (or everythißg that has boen done in the Conncil since be has been a member.

Nov except ranking disjointed and inaconrnte statements, and abusing his follow councillors,he has done nothing. Icau saywithout being accused of vanity-that I know more of tho management of, the Gas Works and the affairs o! tho Gounoil than MrHornblow is capable of knowing. 1 would also like to point out that Mr Hornblow has not a single supporter at the Council table, after sitting there fcr eleven months, and if he does net into the (Mr, no good remits can follow. 1 claim that 1 have presided over tho affairs of the Borough for the past year satisfactorily, and that I work well with the councillors, even with those who are opposed to mc on principle.
