If you do me the honour to elect me. I shall do my utmost to further your Interests in the Council. J I think I have sufficient business ability to see that the £10,000 to be spent in this Ward is not wasted, and I shall always be happy to receive suggestions from the ratepayers as to what is most required in this portion of the City. The proposed Town Hall and Free Public Library shall have my attention, and, if elected, ) 1 will do my best to have this matter brought to a satisfactory conclusion. It is my opinion that, in calling tenders for this building, competition should be strictly confined to this colony, as I am sure there is sufficient local architectural talent to design and complete any work of this description, and koop the money in tho country. I have not much experience in road matters, but think it mußt have been patent to all this winter that there is room for great improve ment. Yours respectfully, G. HULME. 0 THE ELECTORS OP THE EAST WARD. Ladies and Gentlemen,—lf you do me the honour to elect mo again, the fourth time, as a representative of our important Ward, I will in the future, as In tho 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, ! being about £20,000 above the next highest. I ) feel that it absolutely demands good and ' honest representative experience, diligently ap . plied, to keep it in its present premier positi. n. There is still considerably more than one-half 1 of the £20,000 loan allocated to this Ward unex. pended or authorised to be expended on any particular work. During tho next four years this balance will be available. One of the moat 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 as we once thought it would. Wo. shall, therefore, have a large balance to be spent on works- of a smaller magnitude such, for instance, as the finishing of Wynyard street, Abercromble-street, and I hope, at least tho bottom of Upper Queen-street—which can now be done without affecting whatever may be done at the top hereafter. ladies and Gentlemen,—l beg to thank you J for the honours you have conferred on me in the ) past, and whether you again elect me or not, I 1 shall always be happy to give any information I ' can to ratepayers on this Subject. I I am, respectfully yours, W, CROWTHER. (mO THE ELECTORS OF CITY i NORTH. .
