MITCHELSON Will Address the Electors at SWANSON HALL On THURSDAY EVENING, sth INST. At 7.30. TO THE RATEPAYERS OF KARANGAHAPE WARD. Ladibs and Gentlemen,— My time having expired for represent ing you in the City Council — being in office only 12 months—l would con sider it a favour if the Ratepayers would again elect me as their representative. My aim in the past has been to fearlessly and honestly look aftor your interests, and perform m? duties in every possible way, so that your confidence in me may net be misplaced. I have lived in Auckland 24 years, and I am known to most of you, and will therefore leave myself in your lianas without further comment, expecting that you will place me at the top of the Poll. I have the honour to be, Yours, &c, JAMES DAVIES. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EAST WARD. Ladies and Gentlemen,— Having been requested by a large number of the ratepayers to represent your interests in the City Council, and having consented to do so, I now beg to state my views for your information and approval. First, I wil consider it my duty to assist in keeping the finance of the Corporation in a sound position, and think that a) m-w works outside of necessary maintenances should be paid for out of incoming loan or revenue, and not by overdraft from the Bank, which creates an undue expenditure for interest. Second. That drainage works of a minor character should always be considered urgent, and that the numerous neglected streets in your ward should have the utmost attention consistent with the fuuds available. Third. As to the present unsightly state of Emily Place, Isball take step* if ele ted to have such g adients formed as will effect a wreat improvement upon the present state of things, without injuriously affecting the immediate residents. Fourth. The rutting down of Upper Queen street is an important question, which must re ceive the attention of the Council at an early date. I am of opinion that this street, be ing the continuation of the main thorough faiv. in Auckland, ought to be made more accessible for traffic. The best method of effect ing thte shall have my earnest attention, and property-owners and citizens affected may rely on fair tr atinent and a progressive policy. Fifth. I believe in extending to the utmost the great advantages of our Free Public Library, and will co-operate with those who are moving in the direction of establishing a circu lating branch. The addition of a technical de partment, being of great value to artizans and manufacturers, should also receive my willing support. Sixth. I believe in the parks and breathing spaces for the people, and think it false economy to permit them to become a waste of weeds after large turns have been expended for years past in rendering them ornamental and creditable to the city. Other questions or importance not referred to shall at my hands receive broad and liberal treatment In conclusion. I now beg to say that the rate payers nia.y rcljrwi'h confidence upon their in tare-ts being fairly and honestly represented by me. Further, I express the hope that in the future there may bo no objection round with me upon the ground that " lam a new man to the electors," although a veryold citizen. ■ • •* 11 i ttm> Yours Oborliently.
