Provincial Secretary's Office, Christchurch, July 11, 1870. 1481 TO THE BURGESSES OF THE CITY OF CHRISTCHDRCH /~^\ ENTLEMEN,— At the request of several v^T friends and influential citizens of Christchurch 1 have consented to be nominated for one of the vacancies in the City Council, and referring thereto beg to say, that, if chosen by you, I will give every attention to matters of necessity and economy, in pursuance of which, I hope to demonstrate that a less rate than Is in the £, if judiciously expended, will meet all the requirements of our city. I shall be prepared to support any large and comprehensive scheme for improving the sanitary condition of Christchurch, but I will be no party to any petty or vexatious legislation whatever. As it will be impossible for me to [make a personal canvass, I hereby beg to solicit your votes and interest'at the ensuing election. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Yours' most obediently, FREDK. HOBBS. Christchurch, Aug. 26, 1870. 1531 FELLOW CITIZENS OF CHUISTCHURCH. T BEG most respectfully to solicit the favour A. of your votes, at the forthcoming elec- - tion, for one of the vacant seats in the City Council. My motto is, "Advance Christchurch." lam strongly in favour of doing . our utmost to raise the means for the proper, and much needed, drainage of the city, for the accomplishment of which immediate steps . should be taken. I am also in favour of the establishment of public baths, and I would be quite willing to make an effort, by way of getting public subscriptions, to insure success. With reference to the question of rates, I should like to see them paid in two instalments, making the one payable at the office at the commencement of the financial year, and the - other, say sis months after, upon personal • application. This would make these payments easier to the poorer classes; for who cannot pay a small sum easier than a large one? lam also convinced that in this way they would be better collected. I can assure you, gentlemen, should you do > me the honour of returning me, I will do mjy duty. Your obedient servant', 1529 A. AVERS.
