O THE RATEPAYERS OF THE BOROUGH OF HAWERA.

Tours faithfully, ... _. -.-. Fr McGrT3TRBr ' TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF HAWERA. G-ENTLEMEN, — I beg hereby to intimate my intention of coming forward as a candidate for the honor of Mayor of your Borough. I may state that as I have no particular street to iorvn, or personal ends to gratify, my services will he placed untramelled at the services of the electors. To those who have known my conduct in jiublic bodies for the last ten 1 years or so, it is needless for me to say anything, while to those whose acquaintance I have not had the pleasure of making I can only say that in the future, as in the past, I will do all in my power to forward the interests of our Borough. Borough chambers, improving the town by forming and metalling all necessary streets and drainage, are among the principal works that will receive my attention. Should the funds at the disposal of the councillors be inadequate to carry out those works, I would be in favor of borrowing, should the ratepayers deem it necessary. The above, gentlemen, are my sentiments, and should you think me l worthy of the honor of Mayor, I will do all I can to carry them out. Meanwhile, I have the honor to remain, &c, JOHN WINKS.
