TO THE ELECTORS OF SAINT PETER'S WARD.

GENTLEMEN,—The receipt by me of a requi
t-ition from a very numerous and highly respectable
portion of your body, Inviting me to al ow myself to be nominated as
a candidate to represent you in the Town Council, leaves me no
other course (compatible with a sense of duty) than to come forward as
a e.ndidate for your suffrages, at the approaching Municipal Election.
Connected as I have been with your ward, as a ratepayer in it, for
a period of nearly twenty years, such a mark of your coAdence is
highly appreciated by me; at:d should it be the wig of the majority,
to place me as your representative, in the council, I beg to assure yea
that my best exerVons shall be con' inually exercised to onward your
nterests, and that, of the Community gecerally. Although we have a
eomparative absence of great party cries, and subjects cit contention.
I conceive there are an abundance of objects to which the attention
and labours of your representatives should be directed.
The present state of the supply of water, cannot longer be borne
with ; it calls fiz the earnest attention, and immediate action of your
Town Council ; the supply of so importa t a necessary of life and
health, in the mire state, overides all other considerations; and from
the interests involved, demands an early settlement.
That your Corporate fiords should be managed with the greotest eco-
nomy, is so evident a proposition, that I will only allude to it by saying,
that the atts ntion of your council should be kept constantly alive to the
necessity of keeping the expenditure of the great revenue entrusted
to their management, and derived from the hard labour of,all the
various classes of the community, at the lowest point compatisle with
the wants and Interests of that community. Connected wino tots sub-
ject, a another of great importance. It is highly essential, that a
care:ul revision of the Corporation Property should be made, ao that
it may be c'esrly ascertained of what it consists.
There are many other subjects which cannot be more than, touched
upon, a ithin the limits of on address, such as the spreading of Edu-
eation—the fostering of useful institutions, and elevatins: influences
which I hold to be tl.e duty of oar local legislature. These subjects,
if it be your p'easure to return 111-3 as your representative, shall have
the Ea, 'st earnest and industrious application of my abilities applied to
them.--: remain, Gentlemen, yours obedient servant,
C. T. BOWRING.
