KARORI'S MAYORALTY. W. A. KELLOW'sTcANDIDATURE. POLICY SPEECH. To bo made on TUESDAY, the 23rd Inst., at 8 p.m. In the PAROCHIAL HALL. lAM in favour of, and will speak in elaboration of the following matters: — 1. The investigation of tho possibilities of the Karori Borough, supplying .ite own public and private electric power and light, go that the profit arising therefrom should be the property of tho ratepayers. Recent inventions havo greatly reduced tho cost of production, and as wo aro paying ovor £7000 to the city per annum for these conveniences, I believe a saving could bo effected. 2. Of the Wellington Gas Company being again approached with a viow to coming to an arrangement, whereby the company should tupply gas to tho thickly populated areas. ■> 3. Of arranging with tho city for the immediate completion of arrangements for the supply by the city of water and drainage of that part ot the borough naturally draining eastward. ' 4. Of enquiry being made in>o an improvement on the present expensivo and unsatisfactory sanitary sorvice. This to cover arrangements for the finding of another depot, which is greatly needed. Tni6 would probably be arranged by • small Beptio tanks, which could ultimately be used for a permanent drainago system. 5. Of approaching the city with reference to obtaining sotno return from them for land taken for reservoir and cemetery, upon which the borough at present collects no revenue. 6. Of an improved route to the oity being thoroughly investigated. 7. Of cheapening fares to and from tho city, by a more oconomio running of the cars. 8. Of the consistent popularising of tho Recreation Ground, with v view to , increasing tramway revenue. j 9. Of the working of tho quarry and metal 6upply, as a revenue to assist tho public works expenditure— (l) by • the salo of metal (especially screenings), (2) by the pushing on vigorously with the manufacture- of kerbing and j channelling for footpaths, as saino can ba dono with our own material, and by our own men. 10. Of immediately proceeding with the obtaining of permanent levels for streets. This work must be done prior to survey for drainage and water, and can be done by the engineer, assisted by a chainman. 11. Of the popularising of the borough as a placo of residence by advertising its advantages 12. Of tho moro frequent meeting of committees, and the cultivation ot a unanimous spirit in the/ council, for the good of the borough. 13. Of a revision of the building bylaws of the borough to admit of the erection of tho picturesque modern house. 14. Of everything possible being done by the council to encourage tho right kind of residence boing built in the borough. The recent depression in and around Wellington is fast passing away, and I am convinced that the time has arrived when it is necessary that every facility should be given to prospective settlers in order that Karori may rank as it should do, as the leading residential suburb of Wellington City. Karori is Moused with great natural advantages, and has only been kept back in the past by the fact of theso advantages not being properly dovelopod. J TO THE ELECTORS OF WELLINGTON CITY. statements having appeared in V-/ a section of the prc3B, the Wellington Citizens' Leaguo deome^ it advisable to state again its reasons for giving its support to MR. JOHN SMITH. HIS 27 YEARS' SERVICE AS A COUNCDLLOR entitles him to the office which as Acting-Mayor he has so ably filled on several occasions ; and for several months past, during Mr. Wilford's absence through illness, he has occupied tho position with marked ability. HIS CAREFUL MANAGEMENT OF THE CITY'S AFFAIRS, and his unbiased conduct of tho Striko negotiations, have showri 1 that he U competent to rule in difficult situations, and well i fitted to represent all classes of the community with impartiality. MR. SMITH IS "NOT A POLITICIAN, and is not interested in tho Parliament- j ary votes of the City electors, hence is free from all euspicion of acting co as to secure the favours of any particular class or party. MR. SMITH'S LONG ACQUAINTANCE WITH THE NEEDS AND ASPIRATIONS OF OUR CITY peculiarly fit him for carrying out a progressive and cautious policy. , MR. SMITH desires to see the City keep within its present income, and IS OPPOSED TO ANY INCREASE OF RATES. MR. SMITH generously offered not to contest the Mayoralty against Mr. J. G. W. Aitken or Councillor Shirtcliffo should either of these gentlemen announce themeelvea as Candidates. Both those gentlemen, ' owing to private reasons, declined nomination, and the League unanimously decided to support Mr. Smith for the position. These reasons the League commends to tho Citizens, feeling confident that they will endorse their action and vote for> one who has given so ungrudgingly and unostentatiously so large a portion of his life to their interests. Signed in behalf of the Citizens' League, THOMAS BALLINGER, President. « MISS TENDALL'S LUNCHEON AND TEA ROOM. MISS TENDALL Opens her NEW LUNCHEON and T"EA ROOMS TO-MORROW, the 23rd inst.
