Election Notices TO THE BUEGESSES OF THAMES. /"I ENTLEMEN, —la offering myself as a vT enndidate for election to the office of Ocurcillor, I consider it due to the ratepayers to state ray viowa 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 Local Boards ; and it behoves us to elect men who are not likely to be influenced by personal or other motives aiicirg from their connection wi h interests centred in Auckland. . I am in favour of borrowing on the leeurity of the foreshore for Municipal worke, »nd using all proper efforts for tho purpose of connecting the Waikato nnd other producing districts with the Thames. I believe the Council should use their united influence to connect Tairua, Puriri, and other townships wi'h the Thames by means of good dray roads in prefersneo to more tracks ard cuttings. I. am opposed to tho present, law which deprives a Burgess of his vote becauso his rates are not paid by a certain date. So long as. the Council accepts the rate a man's right to vote should be sacred. I am not in favour of the present rule or by-law which requires a ratepayer to form or assist ia forming the footpath opposite his premises. ■ With reference to official expenses, I am not an advocate of cheap service. I consider thjit an efficient officer should be well paid. These, gentlemen, are a few of ray views on these matters, and if you think Tararu and Grahamstown sufficiently represented—to put it modestly, some of the others will do "as well as myself. On the ether hand, if-you think there are any candidates connecter! with Auckland capitalists, or have a bit of land where they would like a wharf, or connected with certain timber interests, then likewise Burgesses VOTE FOB .
