Harley is returned to-morrow. 611 ■ It TgIUMH r- — -~ TO THE WAGE-EARNERS OF - NELSON. di" MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. is i- Ladies & Gentlemen, — ;e The time has surely come whe it is imperative that the wago-earneis c Nelson should demand per medium o the ballot-box direct representation uf on the City Council, and so have som small share in the management of thei I- own municipal affairs. v You have to contribute by far th C largest share both directly and indirect . ly of the revenue of this municipality - Why then should you not have somi direct voice in the spending of this re p venue ? The burden of taxation is pressinj , upon you more heavily year by year, ii the shape of higher rates, higher rents - and increased cost of living. t Will you be content to stand idlj by and dee spendthrift Councils place i still heavier burdens upon your shoulders, ■ ders, or will you use the power that is yours and place upon your City Council men who will look to your interests and carry on the business as your trustees, having the welfare of the City in 1 which you have to earn your livelihood, truly at heart, and not men who desire 1 to use the great trust imposed in them by you for their own selfish purposes. (1) If you desire that your interests should be properly safeguarded. (2) That the revenue by which you so largely contribute should be judiciously expended. (3) That the borrowing mania should be checked. (4) That your municipal gasworks should be run for the purpose of decreas ing your rates, and not increasing them. (5) That your drainage scheme' should be carried to a speedy and succesful conclusion, and that no municipal works should be run as a benevolent institution for any public contractor. * Then vote for J. K. JOHNSTON. The accredited Labour candidate, the direct and honest representative of the wage-earners of Nelson, and — — VOTE FOR J. PIPER. Yours Respectfully, The Nelson Trades Council. The United Trades Unions of Nelson. . ■-* '■ s (Advt.) Sir, — I notice by the pamphlet issued in this morning's "Colonist" by - the "majority" in the dying Council, they mention that by pushing on the drainage works and doing away with the night carts a saving of £900 would be made. | Now, Sir, if they would only look ahead it would be easily seen that as soon as the night carts are stopped and I the drainage scheme in full swing the up keep of the new pumps and also the staff required for their attention — this alone would create a new charge on the rates far exceeding the £900 proposed to be saved by a partial reduction of the night soil service. ; W. K. TURNER, Councillor. St. Vincent-street. ' ~ TO THE ELECTORS OF*" NELSON. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN— 1 I HAVE THE HONOUR I*o AN- ' NOUNCE THAT I AM A CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION AS A COUNCILLOR. Yours Faithfully, M. LIGHTBAND. ~ VOTE FOR MR PIPER, AND A DMINISTRATIVE X.FFICIENCY. TjICONOMY. . "O EFORM. ~~TMrUNICIPAL TT.LECTION. TO THE ELECTORS OF TIIE CITY OF NELSON: LADIES & GENTLEMEN — Atf the request of numerous ratepayers, I am a candidate for a seat in the City Council, independent of any party, and if returned will give my best services to the business of the City, and value the honour of your trust. Considering our small population (under 10,000), our rates are too high, having almost doubled within ten years. To illustrate this I give the following particulars : Rates charged upon my firm's offices and warehouse, Hardystreet, in 1896-7 amounted to £28 lis Od ; 1906-7 they have risen to £55 14s Od. These figures speak for themselves. I hold the opinion that our Gasworks should be placed and run on tho best business lines under an independent manager, and made to give a handsome return to tho benefit of the ratepayers. I am a strong supporter of most of the manifesto as advocated by Mr Harley in his published address, and being one of the largest City ratepayers, it ; will be readily seen that my interests are identical with all property owners : and householders. If returned I will ! oppose what may appear unnecessary I expenditure, and assist if possible tore- , duce the present high rates, of course, i consistently in keeping with necessary requirements. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, yours respectfully, A. H. BISLEY. MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. THEATRE ROYAL. THIS EVENING. i AMASS MEETING of Electors will bo held THIS (Tuesday) EVEN- ! ING. . . !

The chemical conditions of soil and varieties of climate affect plant life. Thus, Teas grown in Ceylon have distinctive characteristics and differ greatly from the Teas grown in India, China and elsewhere. There are, in point of fact, over 2000 different kinds of Tea, and it is the duty of the blender to modify harshness and emphasize features by blending. That is why CRESCENT , BLEND TEA is so good. » FROM ALL STOREKEEPERS PER LB,
