Ladies and Gentlemen, — I beg to inform you that it is my intention to offer myself as a candidate for the office of Mayor of Hawera, and to solicit your votes. Should you do me the honor of electing me, I shall devote my best energies to the improvement and advancement of the town by the execution of public works upon a scheme bo devised as to do justice to all parts of the Borough. Yours faithfully, P. McGUIRE. ■VfAYOBALTY ELECTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sin, — I see by your columns that l " Burgess" complains that none of the new aspirants to Borough honors [ have troubled him with their views. • lie can have the few I got if they are ' worth anything, which are as follows :—: — ! With regard to borrowing, I would certainly oppose if it was likely to • prove n burden to the ratepayers. Borrowing would bo right and legitimate on the following grounds :—: — ■ Where a sinking f undcould be formed out of such revenues as licenses, reserve rents, or on monies obt.ainable from town endowments ; but I would decidedly be against encumi bering the rates of the Borough by borrowing on them for more than one year. L Borough chambers ought to be erected as soon as possible, as there ; are not proper public buildings here at present where business can be I conducted, and as the funds derivable from that land can only be spent on it, an amount equal to, say, ten years' income could be borrowed, wherewith . respectable buildingscould be erected. All the most important streets ought I to be formed with as little delay as ■ possible, and with the funds available 1 that could be continued as the Borough j increases. j Last, but not least, comes drainage. s I consider it the most important of all to the town, and no time ought to be lost in getting it done. Those I consider the foremost works, • demanding immediate attention. There are other items that ought to be done 3 as soon as possible, such as planting % l'eserves, attending to Cemetery, &c, ? which will all have my support should a- you do me the honor to put me where I. ■ I will get a chance to exercise them. '. . Meanwhile, 1 I remain. &c, 6 ' 1461 JOHN WINKS.
