CHARLES NEWMAN, Returning Ofliccr. Town Board Oflice, Helensville, Sept. 3,1881. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EAST WARD. Ladies and Gentlemen,—lf you do me the honour to elect me again, tht fqurth time, as a representative of our important Ward, I will in the future, as in the past do my best to defend1 conserve, and protect its interests, As the rate able value of this yoar of our Ward is £91,000, being ahopt £20.000 abevp the next highest, 1 feel that it absolutely demands good and honest representative experience, diligently ap plied, to keep it in its present premier po-iti n. There is still consMerably more than one-half of the £20,100 loan allocated to this Ward unex pended or authorised to be expended on any particular work. During the next four years this balance will be available. One of the nio3t expensive works out of it will be Sianlcy-itreet drainage; but in 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 Giafton Ward, it will certainly not cost our Ward as much as wc once thought it would. We shall, therefore, have a large balance to be spent on works of a smaller magnitude such, for instance, as the finishing pf Wynyard street, Abererombic-street, and I hope, at leasti the bottom of Upper Queen-street-which can now be done without affecting whatever may be done at the top hereafter, .. ._ Ladies and Gcntlomen,—l beg to thank you for the honours you have conferred on me in the past, and whether you a_;ain elect me or not, I ►hall always bo happy to nive any informationl can to ratepayers on this subject. I am, respectfully yours, W. CROWTHER. mo THE ELECTORS OE KARANGA HAPE WARD. Ladies and Gentlemen,— I beg to offer myself as a Candidato for yoiir Vacant Seat in tho City Council.
