Town Board Ofllce,' Holensville, Sept. 3, 1834. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EAST WARD. Ladies and Gentlemen,—lf you do me the honour to elect me again, the fourth time, as a representative of our important Ward, I will in the future, as in the past do my best to defend, conserve, and protect its interests. As the rate able value of this year of our Ward is "£91,000, boing about £20.000 above the next highest. 1 feel that it absolutely demands good and honest representative experience, diligently ap plied, to keep it in its presont premier position. There is still considerably more than one-half of the £20,000 loan allocated to this Ward unex pended or authorised to be expended on any particular work. During the next four years this balance will bo available. One of tho most expensive works out of it will be Stanley-street drainage; but as we have recently got a grant towards this work of £500 from the General Government, and a proportionate amount must necessarily be con tributed by Grafton Ward, it will certainly not cost our Ward as much ns we once thought it would. We shall, therefore, have a large balance to bo spent on works of a smaller magnitude such, for instance, as tho finishing of Wynyard street, Abercrombie-street, and I hope, at least' the bottom of Upper Queen-?treet-which can now be done without affecting whatever may be done at tho top hereafter. Ladies and Gentlemen,—l beg to thank you for the honours you have conferred on me in the past, and whether you again elect me or not, I -hall always be happy to give any information I can to ratepayers on this subject. I am, respectfully yours, W. CROWTHER. npO THE ELECTORS OF KARANGA HAPE WARD, Ladies and Gkn'tlfmen,— I beg to offer myself as a Candidate for your Vacunt Seat in tho City Council.
