Port Hope, Dec ijih, 1883.

To the EUcton of Ward Two .—

Gkntlemen,— Having been solicited, both last year
and this, to allow my name to be proposed as a candidate
for Councillor, I liavc consented to be nominated for the
position, and \ deem it my duty, in soliciting the votes of
the electors, to send to every one this circular, stating my
views on one or two points.

In regani to the Police force, which is one of the
piominent (juestions of the day, I am heartily in sympathy
with the choice made of the caretakers of our town. I be-
lieve we have two officers of the law who are as lirair, hon-
orable and trustworthy as any who have ever trod the soil
of our fair Dominion ; and while I am in sympathy with
every scheme for retrenchment and economy, I am con-

l,aw and vinced that at the present juncture, when it is a well-known
Order . . ^

fact, stated publicly m the newspapers, that a reckless horde

of ruffian rol)bers have crossed over from the .States and are
now operating in Canada, we dare not, in duty to our-
selves, our homes and our propeity, dispense with either of
Protection, our valuable ofhcers. On this point I strongly believe in
protection.

As the (Irand Trunk Railway have fmally decided to
build a Union Station here, and locate refreshment rooms ;
also most probably make this their coaling station, I think
thef'own it the duty of your representatives to make all necessary
inquiries, imd use all adecjuate means, leaving no stone un-
turned, to induce the G. T. R. to locate large workshops
here. There is quite enough unused and unproductive
land belonging lo the town, lying south of the viaduct, near
the Queen's wharf, that could be usefully employed as a
site for worksho[)s emi)loying 1,000 men. I think the

r^K

Council should he cmpoweretl to donate thiH j<routul, or siu h
quantity of it as they think fit; and ^rant remission of taxes
for say twenty years, to the G. T. K. if they will build ami
e(iuii» a shop and employ from 200 men up-vards, AH such
actions as these I think it wise and proper for tlic Ct)uneil
to use their utmost endeavor to further.

I am decidedly in favor of im|)roving all the streets as
fast as possible. I would boulevard Kidout street and all
the side streets, and I would do it by frontage tax, or some
other equitable way, with and only by the consent of the
ratepayers ; plant shade trees in the boulevards, thus re-
lieving the residents of at least half the dust they are now
subject to. I am in fwor of not using one load more of
gravel on John street, out would have it proi)erly scraped
regularly, and the loose stones can.'fiilly gathered up and
taken away. Considering there is at least 18 inches of good
solid road bed there now, I see no object in still raising the
street higher than the sidewalk. Our streets should all be
clean, and John street, esi)ecially, should l)e made more
presentable and ])assal)le than it is.

I am fully in accord with the most economical
ratepayer in endeavoring to keep down expenses, and so
reduce taxation to the lowest possible percentage.

I am perfectly indc]iendent in politics — therefore will,
if elected, support nothing on jtolitical grounds, but will
support any and all measures that I believe to be for the
advancement of the to\vn, no matter by whom brought for-
ward. No favoritism, but even handed justice to all.

It will not be possible for me, in this busy season, to

personally call on the electors, but through this circular I

ask your Votes and Infiuence; and say if my ideas are in

Request for harmony with yours, and you wish me to represent you

your support ^j the Council IJoard for 1884, I shall cheerfully do so.

I am yours truly,

W. H. PARSONS.
