BOROUGH OF HAMILTON. ELECTION OF MAYOE. JjADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— Having acceded to the request of the numerous gentlemen who signed the requisition that I would allow myself to be nominated for the office of Mayor, I beg 1 now to offer my congratulations to the ratepayers of Hamilton East and "West that their desire to have the two townships constituted a municipality has been acceded tv, and the more so that the Government has placed a sum of £3,000 upon the estimates to aid thorn m the construction of a traffic bridgo to connect the two townships. It may be fairly calculated, from the various estimates which have been made by several engineers, th vt a wooden bridge, suitable for our requirements, which would last for twenty years, can be constructed for £7,000. Past experience of the progress of Hamilton, and the increase of traffic acrosß the river, fully warrants the belief that before that time we shall be able to erect a permanent iron structure with less difficulty than we can a wooden one at the present time. Calculating the cost of a wooden bridgo at £7,000, the Council, on behalf of the boiough, r woujd only have to borrow £4,000, the interest upon which, at 6 por cent., would be only £240 per annum, leaving a very large margin from the proceeds of the tolls to pay off the principal; but, upon reliablo information, I am informed that a loan can be floated at oven less than 6 per cent. It would bo useless at tho present time to give a digest of what I would propose, as the Council m a great measure will have to be guided by oiroumstances. But for myself I can assure the burgesses that, if elected, evory effort shall be made to secure the reserves and other lands, so as to lighten the burden of the ratepayers, and, from tho grants which have recently been made to other municipalities, there is every reason to believe that it will be done m our case. I may state, as I did m my former address, that I have a deep sense of the importance and responsibility of the office of Mayor, particularly at the present time, and that my interests are entirely bound, up m the district. In conclusion, I can. assure the burgesses that, if I have the honor of being elected, I will do my utmost to deserve the confidence reposed m me, and will endeavour to carefully and economically administer the funds of the borough, having duo regard to the interests of the various centres of population. I have the honor to be, Ladies and cntlemen, Your obedient servant, I*. R. VIALOU.
