Electoral NoticesTO THE RATEPAYERS, TE ARO WARD. Gentlemen, — I beg to offer my services as your representative in the City Council, and without making extensive promises o£ sweeping away all abuses, I shall confine myself to stating that, if elected, my best attention shall always be given to the interests of the Ward. I am, your obedient servant, J, B. GEORGE. Wellington, September 1. mo THE RATEPAYERS OF TE ARO J. WARD. GENTLEMEN, —At the request of a number of your body, I offer myself as a candidate for election as Councillor for your Ward. In doing so I may observe that I have no private ends to serve and am perfectly free and bound to no party, and if elected I shall do my utmost to rectify many abuses existing in the management of the affairs of the city. The members of the Council will have to decide on and carry out a system of sewerage, j involving the outlay of many thousands of ' pounds, and the payment of which will be severely felt by the ratepayers of your Ward. ; Having had experience in sewering some of the large towns at Homo, I shall pay particular I attention to the matter, and endeavor to pro- | vent the waste of the public moneys. X consider that the present system of collecting the city rates is entirely wrong, and the information given to you of the amounts to bo paid vague and unsatisfactory. The rate for water supply is based on a wrong principle, making the poor man pay 7 per cent, on his ratal and allowing the rich man to escape by paying 5 per cent. The streets and roads of your Ward are shamefully neglected, and while you number half of the population of the city, and contribute nearly half of the rates, you do not derive a tithe of the benefits accruing from their outlay. In the interval before the election I will endeavor to ascertain your wishes and opinions on Municipal matters in general, and if elected I will do my best to serve you. I am, Gentlemen, Yours, &c,, C. MOODY. Manners Street, Ist September. mO THE RATEPAYERS OP THORN-' ± DON WARD. i GENTLEMEN, —Having been a resident for nearly fifteen years in this Ward, and having been requested to allow myself to be nominated as your representative in the City Council, I have much pleasure in offering you my services. Should you do me the honor to elect me (as I have ample time on my hands), I will pledge myself to visit the Ward regularly, urging your wants to the Board. I shall support all reasonable views for such works as drainage, the formation of streets and footpaths, in fact everything that will conduce to place Wellington in its proper position as the Empire City. I need scarcely add that I am not associated with any party. My entire object will ho to promote your interest, without fear or favor. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, J. M. CLELAND.
