','• r WILSON & RICHARDSON W. MILNEB FRANCIS GRIMES J. P. BLACK & SOS E. BUXTON & CO. RUTTER & BIDDEL. 2264 TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PROVINCE OF NELSON. /~i ENTLEMENT, — Presuming from the numer\JT ous requests made to me to contest the Office of Superintendent, that the Elector* de ; ire a change. I have to state that I have no wish to rise to that position by reflecting on the actions of our present clever Superintendent. It is for the tlectors to decide whether my past conduct, during a long residence to this my adopted country, to which I confess a sincere attachment, has been such as to entitle me to aspire to the high honor I now seek. I can only say that if elected, I shall devote myself to the best of my ability, to fulfil with diligence and impartiality the duties pertaining to it. You can form your own opinion as to my energy, capability, ingenuity, honesty, and other necessary qualities for the high office in your gift. Should you entrust it to my care I promise my sedulous endeavors to make Kelson keep and improve its stand among its sister provinces. With this view I should call to my aid in the Executive men in general esteem, and possessed not only of sound bu-iness quali'ies, but of a desire and capability for progress, and who would be ready at all times to countenance and encourage all practical attempts at developing newlocal industries. I should always endeivor to work in harmony with the desire of the people, expressed by their organ, the Council, being a thorough believer in the value and usefulness of the Provincial System , and shall resist by every means in my power all open or insidious attempts of persons grown high and insolent in office to overturn institutions which I consider to be the most valuable portion of our Constitution. As I have great faith in the miners' resources of the province, I will always be alive to any attempt to develop them, as well as the other great natural advantages of the Province which I hold have hitherto been unaccountably neglected. I should study rigid economy in the departmental conduct of the business of the Province, as far as a: tamable without impairing its efficiency, the savings effected becoming available for"'* increased grants to Road Boar Jb and other useful., bodies. . ■' With regard to the City, I should endeavour to, effect a reduction in the very heavy water-rate, and to increase the efficiency of the Board of Works. It being conducive to the interest of lioth town aud country to carry out all practical improvements at the Port, I should give special attention to this subject ; and. among ther measures, 1 should improve the approach to the Wharf, widen the dangerously narrow part of the roaii, lower the Wattrmans' license fee, promota the long desired Dock or Slip, and strive for a Reduction of the Light Dues, which are an incubus to the Porr. The progress and welfare of the West Coast portion of the province should be carefully fostered, and the wishes of the people faithfully regarded. '1 he full net share of ihe revenue derived from thence should be expended to benefiit them. The sfaff of Railway Engineers expected from England, would meet with every aid.aud support from me, should I be elected. I would be prepared to supplement public contributions to prospecting parties, and in every way to second the wants of the inhabitants, the real wants of whom I wonld ascertain by frequent personal visits ti the various districts. Having thus endeavoured pretty fully to explain my intentions if placed in the office of Superintendent. I have only to add that I shall be An. i to confer with the Electors in the principal centres of population before going to the Poll. IYun. Gentlemen, " Yours faithfully, WILLIAM AKERSTEN.
