CITY COUNCIL ELECTION. T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— ■*"* At the request of a great many of the residents of Wellington City, I am offering myself as a candidate for the City Council at the forthcoming Elections, No apology, of oourse, is necessary for the ootion of a citizen in seeking election to ihe l City Council —the ultimate end of muriioipal endeavour. Why I have consented to contest that honourable position may be stated very briefly. I am a New Zealander, and have resided in Wellington for over twenty years, during which time I have kept myself in close touch with public affairs. Partly, of course, because I was a resident, but also because I believe that only men who have a knowledge of business, derived from the conduct of their own affairs, are mostly to be relied upon when the affairs of the City come up for consideration. I am not an iconoclast, but I do believe that the time has come for close investi--gation of the City affairs by men of business experience. As a candidate for the Counoil I advocate the following: — (1) A perfected Municipal Milk Supply, enabling the householders to obtain wholesome milk, and plenty of it (2) Strict economy in all departments, with lower concession tram fares to suburbanites. (3) A reconsideration of loan proposals in regard to the Power Station at Evans Boy. (4) Appointment of a Tramway Manager. (5) A sound policy of Road Construction. (6) An up-to-date Housing Scheme. (7) Sports Grounds and Children's Re;oreation Parks. (8) Rest Rooms for Women and Children in the City. (9) Full consideration for the suburbs and loans raised to be applied strict- - ly for the purpose for which they were raised. (10) Town Planning on a scale that will ultimately earn for Wellington not ODly the title of the Empire City, but the City Beautiful. ' Nature has done her best in this respect, and it remains for we as citizens to do our bit. Finally, should I be successful, I will endeavour to preserve as my motto, "A fair deal to all." Yours faithfully, DUNBAR SLOANE. COUNCIL AND, HOSPITAL BOARD. ELECTORS OP GREATER WELLINGTON. T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— I respectfully ask for your active interest, support, and vote on \Vene6day next in the above elections. I am not a novice in municipal politics, having served for six yean* on the late Miram'ar Borough Council. The-financial and general situation means for the next year or two a strenuous arid anxious time for the various | committees of the Counoil in order to | ensure the best results being attained. I am, fortunately, so situated that if elected, I can and would attend to that most important work; my time is my own. As to the loan schedule of works, I favour the tabulation of the different items in their relative order of importance to the community's welfare and benefit, and the beginning and completing of them in that, order. In regard to administration, and the system of carrying- out the various works, there is very considerable room for improvement. In my opinion the Tramways and Lighting- Departments should be under separate and efficient management, and I am not convinced of tho necessity of spending money on a new power station at Evans' Bay, if we are soon to have the MANGAHAO current, more especially. I think the Council should strictly adhere to the attitude, "the Council must dictate the POLICTi, the various departmente must carry out the work." :'l ajiand.for doing "the greatest' good for the greatest number," guided by tho requirements of substantial development and sound, sensible finance. Considering that Hospitals are rapidly becoming National institutions. I think the Government should show an adequate and tangible appreciation of the fact. J. favour a Business Manager for the Hospital BoaTd and the purchasing of stores, supplies, and equipment by tender after submission of the prices quoted, to the Government Department, who should have at hand, for comparison, the best buying prices ruling. I "think the Council, as a heavily-levied body, should have representation on the Hospital Board. Trusting that the foregoing will be sufficient indication of my ideas to warrant your'support, iiifluence, and Vote.—l am, SYDNEY H. UNDERWOOD. Nominated by Messrs. L. M'Kenzie, E. Townsend, C. M Luke, W. J. Thompson, V. Dimook (Island Bay), P. North (Seatoun), and G. C. Wilson (of the Cricket Association). TO THE ELECTORS OF GREATER .WELLINGTON. JjADIES AND GENTLEMEN,At the by-election, held in September last you honoured me by electing me to the City Council. During my eeven ; months I bave studied municipal questions fully, and now have a knowledge of oity affairs which I (eel confident I can use in the interests of citizens generally if again returned. There am many important -works to carry out, and many difficult problems to face which will require careful consideration, and prudelnt administration to ensure tho oity receiving full value for all money expended. If again elocfed I will watch' your interests in these matters, support preferenoe being 1 given to the more essential wort, and see that the many activities of the city are ran. on Bound, progretstT© lines. Yonm faithfully, W. JAB. GAtf BIN. CITY COUNCIL ELECTION. VOTE FOR ,T» G. H. BURN. Careful, Honest, and Progressive iAdminiistration of the City's Affairs.
