EOADLEY & LYON, 280 Stock and Land Auctioneers TO THE BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF NAPIER. T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— Having J_J been nominated for one of the vacant seats in the Borough Council, I respectfully solicit your votes at the forthcoming election. Should you do me the honor of electing me, I s-iall to the best of my ability endeavor to represent the interests of the Borough generally. Being one of the largest ratepayers in the Borough, I may claim, not only to have but naturally to take the greatest interest in the welfare of the Borough. I consider the sewerage and drainage of this town is of the. greatest importance to every resident within the Borough, and that before any scheme be adopted, competitive designs should be called for, for which a liberal premium should be given, whereby the highest professional opinions could be obtained, so that beyond doubt the loan just decided by your votes to be raised may be judiciously applied. I shall also be in favor of an extension of the water supply to those residents of the hills where practicable. la conclusion, I may state that, if honored by your confidence, I shall seldom be found absent from my seat in the Council. 1 remain, Your obedient servant, 174 EDWARD ASHTON. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF NAPIER. IT having been rumored about town to-day that it was my intention to withdraw from the contest for the forthcoming election, I beg to give it an unqualified denial. I have not the slightest intention of withdrawing. Your obedient servant, 248 EDWARD ASHTON. TO THE BURGESSES OF NAPIER. X ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— In .1 i soliciting your votes at the forthcoming election for one of the seats now vacant, I will assure you that, should you do me the honor of electing me, I shall spare no effort to merit the confidence you will have placed in me. It shall be my endeavor to see that all works are carried Out with economy combined with efficiency, so as if possible to reduce the taxation paid by the burgesses, rather than increase it. And further, I would always advocate that all portions of the town should receive a fair portion of Municipal revenue, whether it be on the hills or fiats. The expenditure of the loan voted by you I should carefully watch ; before voting any of this money for a sewage or drainage scheme, I would propose that any scheme brought forward should first be submitted to competent engineers, having experience in such work, and afterwards to the ratepayers, so as to guard against any wasteful or needless expenditme. Should a favorable opportunity arise for pressing my views, I ohould strongly advocate the 1 division of the borough into wards. Trusting that on polling day you will favor me with your votes, I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, 268 H. P. COHEN. TO THE BURGESSES OF NAPIER. iH ENTLEMEN,— I am a candidate for a V_T seat in the Municipal Council. The most important question that has ever been before the Council, or ever will again, will soon be brought before that body to decide, that is, a proper system of drainage, and an extended water supply. The amount of money proposed to be borrowed is quite sufficient to carry out a clean, healthy, and proper system of drainage and extended water supply. I am in favor of an extended high-level water supply. Without that it will be difficult to obtain a proper system of drainage. If you think I have the ability to represent you in the Council, elect me ; if you think there are better men, throw me out. With those few remarks I leave myself entirely in your hands, lam, Yours respectfully. GEORGE ELLIS. P.S. — There are some persons who think the system I advocated in my letter, which appeared in the " Daily Telegraph " of the 17th ultimo, is expensive. I can prove by facts and figures, it is the cheapest, healthiest, cleanest, and most efficient system that has been adopted and carried out so successfully in Great Britain, the Continent of Europe, and New Zealand, up to the present date. 272 G. E. TO THE BURGESSES OF NAPIER. r ADIES AND GENTLEMEN, —The loan JLj authorised to be raised will absorb the borrowing powers of the Borough for a considerable time to come. It iB, therefore, imperatively necessary that it should be carefully expended in accordance with the best advice procurable. If you should think fit to elect me, I will give my best attention to all schemes for a complete system of drainage and sewerage that may be projected by competent authorities, and I will, to the utmost of my ability, watch over the pecuniary and sanitary interests of the Municipality. Believing as I do that all parts of the Borough are equally interested in its cleanliness and consequent health, it would be my wish to secure an extension of the water supply to the hills. This, I believe, could be ensured, and ahould form a part of any system of drainage. In consequence of the peculiar situation of the town, there are grave difficulties connected with the completion of the important works referred to. I cannot prpfeas to have had any experience in such matters, and should therefore be the more anxious that ratepayers should be consulted upon them before any definite liability is* undertaken by the Council. ! Finally, leb me say that I have not solicited, and do not intend to* solicit, any votes. If lam honored by your confidence, I will do my best to deserve it. Should you ohoose any other representative, I shall cheerfully accept your decision. H. A. COENFORD. Napier, January 4th, 1879. 295 TO THE BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF NAPIER. T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— Having I I been absent from town nearly every day since I had the honor to be nominated a Candidate for one of the vacant seats in the Municipal Council, I have been unable to conform with the usual practice of issuing an address until now. I have been asked to stand for the office of Councillor as a business man, and, in that capacity, believing I can serve the interests of the Borough, I consented to be put in nomination. I can only say that, if elected, I will give as much time as I can fairly afford to the duties of the position, and to the best of my ability will watch over the interests of the town as a whole, lam, Your obedient servant, 315 M.
