TO THE ELECTORS OF RODNEY-STREET
WARD.

GENTLEMEN,
WHEN you elected me, three years ago, one of
your Municipal Council, you almost unanimously con-
curred in the sentiment I then expressed, that " I should
earnestly advocate a copious supply of water being provided
for the town." I have zealously done so. You have disagreed
with me as to the best mode of remedying an acknowledged
insufficiency; and you have exercised your undoubted privi-
lege, by refusing to confirm the opinions which, after much
painful and anxious investigation, I believe to be correct, and
which, in the awakened state of public feeling throughout the
country, will, I doubt not, be insisted on by Parliament.
We therefore again stand in the same position we respec-
tively occupied before I became your representative. Having
honestly, and to the best of my ability, fulfilled my duty to
you, and to the town at large, by the time and attention which
I have devoted to the varied and important subjects which
have engaged the consideration of the Council and its Com-
mittees, I feel that I can cease to be your representative with
the inward conviction that, amidst much obloquy, I have only
had one object, and that the general welfare of the whole com-
munity.
I most cheerfully bow to your decision, and I trust that the
animosities which have so unhappily been engendered may be
forgotten, lest their continuance may entail upon the rate-
payers ultimate mischief and great pecuniary loss. I beg re-
spectfully to thank those gentlemen who have favoured me
with their support; and in again retiring to that private sta-
tion from which I emerged at your desire, it is a satisfaction
to me to reflect that my rejection has not occurred because I
have violated any principle, but because I have been the advo-
cate of a measure imperatively demanded by the common dic-
tates of humanity. I venture to hope that the difference of
opinion which has occurred on one single point will not have
alienated those extended private friendships which I have had
the happiness of enjoying; and while you differ from me in
opinion, I ask you to give me credit for rectitude of intention,
and for a desire to be serviceable to my native town.
I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Yours, very respectfully,
SAMUEL HOLME.
