Shorthand, 30th August, 1875. : - .:, TO THE BUfIGESSES OE.THAMES. n ENTLEMEN.-In offering myself aa a \J candidate for ekotion to the office of Councillor, I consider it due to the ratepayers to state my views on matters that may come before; the Council. The changes likely to result from the present Abolition measures.before the Assembly will undoubtedly give extended powers to our Municipal and lecal Boards; and it behoves us to elect men who are not likely to bo influenced by personal or other motives arising from their connection with interests centred in Auckland, I am in favour of borrowing on the security of the'foreshore for Municipal works, and using all proper efforts for the purpose of connecting the Waikato and other producing districts with the Thames., "...

I am not in favour of the present rule or by-law which requires a. ratepayer to form, or assist in forming, the footpath opposite his premises. • With reference to official expense, .lam not an advocate of cheap service, I consider that an efficient officer should be well paid These, gentlemen, are a few of my views on these matters, and if you think Tararu and Grahainstowh sufficiently represented, to put it modestly, some of the others will do as well as myself. On the other hand, if you think there are any candidates connected with Auckland capitalists, or have a bit of land where they would like a wharf, or connected with certain timber interests, then like wise Burgesses VOTE FOB McSOWAN & INDEPENDENCE.
