Election notices. TO THE RATEPAYERS OF BU&kDIN. /"*, ENTLKMBtf— At the request of a number \Jt of ratepayers. I have offered myself as a candidate for the office of Mayor for tha city cf Dunedin. The tone of fetling evinced by you in the forthcoming election for the new Municipality is a healthy sign that the citizens of Dunedin are anxious to place in office inej who will worthily repreeeot the intelligence and Importance of the city. The manner in which the money of the ratepayers has be«n friUcred away in the inefficient carrying out of so-called city improvements, Is a sufficient proof that a more jaaicUw management is necessary io the future expenditure of the ratea. Should I hive the honor of being elected to the Mayoralty, is will be my aim to fee the necestary work* carried out in a more effective manner than hitherto, and to entirely aboli-h the practice which has until tbis timo been adopted of patching up streets and roads, instead of forming them substantially. By ihe course hitherto pursued, it him been found coutinually nece-E.»ary %o vote sums of money for repairs to streets find roads in all parta of the city, and by this miserable expenditure a large amount of money has, in the aggregate, been wasted, Should you elect me, it will he my earnest desire to so fulfil the duties of the office as to merit the confidence you will have placet! in me. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, B. H. FORMAR. TO THE CITJZKK RATEPAYERS OF DOWEDIN. r\ ENTLFMEIf—Having Yen nominated to \JC the truly important office of Mayor ot tin's City, I feel it incumbent on me to address a few wortfß to you on the onfv subject touched on this morning at ttie nomination, viz, that of Loans, but whilst giving you my opinion ttieTeon, lat the tame time wi*h you distiuct!y to understand thr.t f coniiiocr ill* Mnyor of a Oily should not be clecte'l on account '>f his beinpj imbued with any riirce.t Political Vmwg, but that he sbouid b» rn-. who holding the reins, can guide his team, and. if 7icccssary keep them well in hand. With regard to the subject of Loaw, I vri'l candidly say that an :n abstract political principle, I con*i'".er that Loans for necessary, perm-men t, remunerative or sanitary works, khould be encoursgtd, inasmuch aa posterity deriving nn equal advantage therefrom with ourselves should bear its due share of the original outlay, nnd thus relieve the present latepayent from an otherwise heavy taxation. We are now commencing a new and most impirtant era in the Municipal Government, and I trusc, if you elect me as your first Miiyor, that when I itti'c from office, I Khali have as few enemies a^ I have at present. I ehall mike no promises which I ccinnot fulfil—the o :iy one I shall make is th:it I will do my best to serve you. Your Obedient Servant. WVI. WILPKID WILSON. Dunedin, 17th July, 1865.
