Election Notices TO THE BUEGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF THAMES. T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN—As certain persons have spread a report that I am goiDg to withdraw from the contest at the forthcoming Election, I beg to state that euch allegations are entirely without foundation. F. A. Puiieine. Grahamstown, September 4th, 18?5. ' [ P.S.—The other candidates having ignored the Lady Toters altogether, I beg to solicit their support, as I feel confident that they will play an important part in th« future destinies of the Borough. 1029

TO THE BUEGESSES OP THAMES. fTENTLEMEN,— In offering myself as a V> candidate for election to the office of Councillor, I consider it due to the ratepayers to stale nsy -views on matters that may come before the Council. The changes likely to result from the present Abolition measures before the Assembly will j 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 ariirg from their connection wi h 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 believe the Council should use their united influence to connect Tiiirua, Puriri, and other townships wi'.h the Thames by means of good dray roads in preference to mere tracks and cuttings. I atn opposed to the 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 wot in favour of the present rule or by-law which requires a ratepayer to form or assist in forming the footpath opposite hi 3 premises. With reference to official expenses, I am 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 Grahamstown 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 likewise Burgesses ' VOTE FOR MoGOWAN AND INDEPENDENCE. 1013
