"WS DOVER, 1542 Proprietor. i HE ROYAL INSURANCE COM? ANY I FIRE AND LIFK Agents, MILES & CO., 109 c Lyttelton and Chistchurch. FELLOW CITIZENS OF CHKISTCHUUCH. I BEG most respectfully to solicit tbe favour of your votes, at the forthcoming election, for one of the vacant seats in the City Council. My motto is, 'Advance Christchurcb." 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 Bhould 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 payablo at the office at the commencement of the financial year, and the other, say 6ix 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 rae the honour of returning me, I will do my duty. Your obedient servant, 1523 A. AVERS.
