Miscellaneous. IN BE COPESTAKE. NOTICE is hereby given that all Debts due to the above Estate remaining unpaid on the 25th March next will be sued for. By order of the Trustees. ALL ACCOUNTS due to the undersigned up to the end of February must be paid forthwith." JOHN TUCKER. Timarti, March 20. mO GEORGE BUCKLEY, ESQ., CHRISTCHURCII. Sir — We, the undersigned Electors, respectfully request that you will allow yourself to be put m nomination for the representation of the Waimate District m the next Provincial Council. M. Studholme John Manchester George Manchester B. Fox Thomas Fisher S. Lee Samuel S. Rodgers Frederick Gaitt Laurence Towers Bennett Tregoning Michael Tregoning Richard Champion Charles V. Clarke Leonard Price Midford Hill John Thomson F. B. Burgess Jacob Hill T. Tribe Tyler Robert Forrest James Collins George Buchanan Gentlemen — I beg to thank 3'ou for the requisition sent me, and have great pleasure m complying" with your request thnt I should be nominated as a candidate to represent the Waimate District m the coming Provincial Council. As an old Member of the Council I know it is too often the complaint of outlying districts that their wants and interests are either neglected or entirely ignored by the Provincial Government. I see no reason why they cannot devise a scheme for appropriating to every part of the Province a fair share of the revenue, and will be prepared to support such a measure. The Road Boards would m time, I think, work with advantage to the country districts, but if they are expected to progress and prosper, the main roads should be first made and completed at the sole cost of the Government, and the grants voted paid by regular instalments, m place of being Avitheld or doled out as at present. Large public works, such as railways, bridges, and harbour works, should be provided for almost entirely out of loans, with some slight alterations, such as confining the expenditure strictly to certain works, and giving also a lien on the works earned out. I think our present debentures could be made saleable at such a discount as would still make the yearly interest payable, a reasonable one. As a future resident, and having property m your district, should you do me the honor to return me your member, you may rely at all times on my best exertions being used to further your local. interests and those of the Province generally. Before the day of election I hope to meet you, and explain more fully my views, and meantime remain Your obedient servant, GEORGE BUCKLEY. To M. Studliolme, Esq., and the other gentlemen signing the Requisition
