Ladies and Gentlemen,—l have the plea sure to offer mj services to -, ou as your Repre sentative for the East Ward. If you do me the honour to elect me, I shall do my utmost to further your interests in tho Council. I think I have sufficient business ability to Bee that the £10,003 to be Bpcnt in this Ward ia nol wasted, and I shall alwajs be happy to rccolve auggentloiis from the ratepayers as to what is moßt required in this portion of tho City. | The proposed Town Hall and Freo Public Library shall have my attention, and, if elected, I will do my best to have this matter brought to a satisfactory conclusion. It is my opinionl that, In calling tenders for this building, competition should be strictly confined to this colony, as I am snro there is BU-icient local architectural talent to design and complete any work of thi_ deaeription, and koep the money in tho country. I have not much experience in road matters, but think it must have boen patent to all this winter that thero ia room for great improve ment, i ■_ours respectfully, G. HULME. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EAST WARD. Ladies and Gentlemen,—lf you do me the honour to elect me again, the fourtk time, as a representative of our important Ward, I will in the future, a.in the past do my beat to defend, conserve, and protect Its interests, Aa the rate able value of this year of our Ward is £91,000, being about £20.009 abovo the next highest, 1 feel that it absolutely demands good and honest representative exp rfemce, diligently ap plied, to keep it in its pi orient premier potiti >r_ Thero ia still considerably moro than one-half of the £20,C00 loan allocated to this Ward UDet. pended or authorised to be expended on any particular work. r During the next four years this balance will be available. One of the 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 as wo once thought It would. Wo shall, therofore, have a largo balance to be spent on works of a smaller magnitude— auch. for instance, as the finishing of Wynyard sti-eet, Abercrombie-atreet, and I hope, at least the bottom of Upper Queen-strect-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 yo. \rs, W.
