March 16. 3-20 ; TO __» ISLECTOBS OF THE HEATHCOTE DISTBICT. GENTLEMEN,— I have the nonor to offer myself as a Candidate to Represent your District at the coming election in the Provincial Council. I have resided amongst yon for name yean, and am personally known to many. of you. Passably my political opinions may not be on that ground I may be allowed to state briefly. lam of opinion that centralization and an undue creation of departments, and aa a necessary consequence an opening for place-seekers exists far beyond the requirements of an efficient administration of the Government of the Province, and this has tended in a great measure to bring about the pitacint vi-fr"***! difficulties. I should If elected support any well devised measure calculated to develope the resources of the pro■vine*, and am of opinion that nothing will effect this short of a judicious extension o> railways and good roads. I am also in favor of a system of promoting a sound education, consistent with the existent requirements. I should be prepared to support any measure to conserve the landed estate of the province, especially with a view of modifying the present system of granting pre-emptive rights. I think that the present system of Road Board adaunistratlon is very defective, especially in the outlying districts; and I cannot see "the justice of the fanner's industry being taxed, and the owners of unimproved lands and the runholding community being exempt or nearly •o from local taxation. My motto would be Economy, retrenchment and no special class legislation. The fkrming and other interests being vested, and to my mind paramount, should be as fiuthfnHy represented as the sheep and commerdal interests. If yon think mc competent to represent you in the Provincial Council, I am willing to place my services at your disposal; and will bold myself in readiness to meet you at any tune more fully to explain my views. I am, your obedient servant, Jobs Jbbsox. Fountain Villa, Lincoln road, February 15,1866. 2-17 MR. LANCE'S COMMITTEE. "VT B.
