GENTLEMEN,—On the 1st of November roxt the term of office of three of the present Members of the Council Board for this Ward expires; two of the Gentlemen have signined their intention of not again offeritig themselves for re-election. I have, therefore, at the request of a very influential body of e Burgesses, consented to become a Candidate for Munteipal Honours at your next Election, and should it be your pleasure to return me as a Member of your Council, I will, whilst I occupy a seat at that Board, give all matters relating to the ihterest and well-being of the Town my best consideration, having, at the same time, a due regard to the expenditure of the public funds. I have the honor to remain, Gentlemen, Yours obediently, GEORGE W. JONES. Cambria-place, Newport, October 9th 1856. [789 BOROUGH OF NEWPORT. 0 THE BURGESSES OF THE EAST WARD. GENTLEMEN,—A Requisition, very in- fluentially Signed, having been presented to me, inviting me to come forward to represent you at the Council Board, I am induced to acquiese with the wishes of the requisitionists. I have, for some years, narrowly watched the proceedings of the Council, and have fre- quently been pained at their reckless waste of the public money, especially with reference to the payment of a large amount for a plan of drainage which has now been abandoned. If, Gentlemen, you will honour me with your support, and return me to the Council Board, I have only to add that my votes shall always be given on the side of economy, and I shall ever consider your interests identical with my own. I remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Octdber 4tb, 1856. GEORGE BATESON. [772 BOROUGH OF NEWPORT. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE EAST WARD. GENTLEMEN,—I beg to return you my heartfelt thanks for the numerous promises of support you have given me since I have announced to you my determination of offering my services at the Council Board; but having learned that some interested parties have industriously circulated the report that I am made a tool of by my friends, I beg to tell you, Gen- tlemen, that I should consider myself unworthy of your confidence were I to allow myself to become the tool of any person or persons, either in or out of the Council. I have to assure you, Gentlemen, that my sole object is to add to the prosperity of the Borough—to endea- vour to reduce the exorbitant Rates-to keep in the pockets of our poor Ratepayers that which hitherto has found its way into the hands of Civil Engineers and others, who have no legitimate claim, in my opinion, upon your purses. Rely upon it, Brother Ratepayers, that I will give you the opportunity to record your votes in my favour, should you deem me worthy of your confidence. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, GEORGE BATESON. Newport, October 7th, 1856. [773 BOROUGH OF NEWPORT. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE EAST WARD. GENTLEMEN,—It has been announced by two of your representatives at the Council Board, that they purpose retiring at the expiration of their term of office. You, therefore, require others to fill the places of the retiring Councillors. Three of our fellow-townsmen are before you allow me to announce myself as a fourth Candidate. Twenty-five years have elapsed since I became identi- fied with the interests of this Borough. I am now most anxious to knew something respecting our heavy local taxation, so as to be enabled to inform my fellow-rate- payers what becomes of the money collected. This I can only do by your placing me* in a position to examine minntely the Pounds, Shillings, and Pence matters of the Borough. Economy is imperatively called for; and the question recently brought under the consideration of the Council, with regard to paying the Magistrates' Clerk by a salary instead of by fees, seems to present a fair oppor- tunity for retrenchment. This point ought to be promptly aitd fearlessly dealt with by the Council. ~Iryou think that yo» »ay%«tfely intrust me withthe: important duty of representing your interests, elect me if you think otherwise, reject me. Respectfully soliciting your suffrages, I am, Gentlemen, your obedient Servant, JOHN ROGERS. Dock-street, Newport, Oct. 13th, 1856. [813 BOROUGH OF CARDIFF. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE NORTH WARD. GENTLKMEN,—The time having nearly arrived for the Election of Members of the Town Council, and Mr. Edward Evans and Mr. John Williams declining to come forward again, I beg to offer myself as a Candidate for one of the vacancies caused by the retire ment of those gentlemen. Should you honour me by electing me to a seat at the Board, I shall always endeavour to promote the welfare of the town, irrespective of party considerations, and to the best of my ability. I remain, gentlemen, your obedient servant, [811 C. E. BERNARD. BOROUGH OF CARDIFF. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE NORTH WARD. GENTLEMEN,—On the first day of Novem- ber next, the period for which you elected me to represent you at the Council Board, will expire. I have been induced to offer myself for re-election; and if my past conduct has met with your approval, I shall be happy to be favoured with your support. I am, Gentlemen, Your faithful Servant, BENJAMIN MATTHEWS. Cardiff, 18th October, 1856. [823 BOROUGH OF CARDIFF. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE SOUTH WARD. GENTLEMEN,—The period for which we were elected to represent you at the Town Council, will expire on the 1st November next. We respectfully offer ourselves for re-election assuring you that our best endeavours will be, for the future, as they have been for the past, directed to the effective and economical administration of the affairs of this growing and important town.
