THE ROYAL INSURANCE COMPANY l FIRE AND LIFE. Agents, MILES & CO., 109 c Lyttelton and Christchurch. FELLOW CITIZENS OF CHRISTCHURCH. IBEG most respectfully to solicit the favour of your votes, at the forthcoming election, for one of the vacant seats in the City Council. My motto is, " Advance Christchurch." lani 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.icstalments, making the one payable at the offlce at the commencement of the financial year, and the other, say six 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 my duty. Your obedient servant, 1529 A. AVERS.
