Electoral Notices To tho Electors of the East Coast Electoral District. f^ ENTLEMEN,— I beg to announce \JC to you my intention of soliciting your support at the forthcoming election. If returned to represent you in Parliament, I shall always endeavour, as hitliorto, t<> procure jnsticn for tho East Coast District, in the matter of public works expenditure, and udvocato its claims of have money placed on tho estimates for the construction of roads and bridges, and especially the mam arterial ones. 1 shall urge upon the Ministry tho desirability of altering the procedure in dealing with native lands to facilitate sub-division, by appointing a resident Laid Court Judge for the district until such time as the work may be completed ; and generally, to reniuvu the restrictons which at present hamper the Europeans and natives in dealing with such lands. The settlement or the country can never be properly effected until tho waste lands of tho Crown are placed unde the control of the local bodies, and shall support a bill to effect the same. As I hare already stated at the various entres of your district where I have had the pleasure of addressing you, I am opposed to the Property Tax. I am in favour of rating the Crown and native lands; and generally, of bringing the natives under the same laws and obligations as the Etiropeaus, and will support an intelligent, workable measure having that object in view. lv the matter of local government I am strongly oppofed to Provincialism and all its advocates, and favor an enlargement of either the County or Rtiad Board system, but consider there should be only one taxing local body. I am a Liberal in principle, and shall always support the Libenl Party in passing measures in accordance with those principles. Gentlemen, if by your support I am agtin honored with a seat in I'Hrlianient, I shall always be found an earnest supporter (.|(iii intt'i vBtH, and a staunch advocate fc-r the outlying districts. I Remain Gentlemen, Your Obedient Servant, ALLAN McDONALD.
