LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ij You will be called upon in a few days to elect a Member to represent you on the above Board. I need scarcely remind you that Three Years have passed away since you thought fit to elect me to represent your interest as a member for the Town Ward, during which time I have al- ways striven to do what I considered my duty in all and to all, with one aim and object ever in view, viz :—Justice. The whole of my life has been spent entirely in the business which,as Member of the Board, it has been my duty (for the term which I have had the honour of representing you) to pass judgment upon, and I trust therefore that the experience so gained, and the action taken by me in all matters brought before the board, have satisfied you that the confidence bestowed upon me was not misplaced. I now once more place my services at your disposal, and should you again do me the honour of returning me as your representative, I assure you that no effort on my part shall be wanting to discharge the duties which fall to my lot with honesty and efficiency, and by so doing I hope to merit your yet further esteem and confidence, and above all the inward satisfaction of having done something to benefit those amongst whom it has been my happy privilege to have lived for so many years. I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, DAVID ROWLAND. Gelliwastad Grove, Pontypridd, March 5th, 1889. PontyprirJd Local Board, TRIENNIAL ELECTION, 1889. TO IKE ELECTOR OF THE TOWN WAED. f AD"!i.S AND GENTLEMEN, Li In a short time one ir.eniLor for each of the four wards inO which the Pontypridd Local Sani- tary Distr c'; has been divided will have to retire. There will, therefore, be four vacancies, which the ratepayers will have to fill up at the election in April next. Again, I beg to ask your suffrrges as a candidate for the Town Ward. I need not remind you that when I contested this ward with the late Mr Moses Cule, I wasprac- i tically returned as the choice of the ratepayers, and I was only defeated by the property qualifica- tions, which confer upon certain ratepayers more votes than one. Under the one man, one vote arrangement, which is likely to become law, I should have been at this moment your representa- tive for the town ward. Ladies and gentlemen, encouraged by this fact, and pressed by several influential residents, I feel justified in once more appealing to you to return me as your member. I do not presume to appeal to you as an educated man, as I believe I am the equal of the majority of the members now form- in.; the Board, but I have no hesitation in assert- ing that as an employer of labour, in practical ex- perience, and in an earnest desire to serve you, and promote your interests in obtaining the best re- sults for the money expended, I am as much, if not more, entitled to your confidence as any mem- ber now sitting on the Board, or retiring fvora it. For one thing, I should never have voted, as my opponent did, for the appointment of a son-in-law on the Board, because and for no other reason his father-in-law had been a member. I pledge myself, if I am honoured by being re- turned, to devote myself to the practical business f of the Board with devotion and fidelity to your interests. Ladies and gentlemen, I once more ask you to give me the splendid support I received last year, with such an addition as will place me in the position of being returned as your representative for the town ward. I am, Ladies and gentlemen, Your obedient and humble servant, THOMAS TAYLOR. [ POHTYPRIBD UNION.

In connection with the Sewer- age Scheme alone, upwards of £ 150.000 (one hun- dred and fifty thousand pounds) will be expended therefore, a great responsibility rests upon you to return a right and proper representative, who is certain to give close attention to his duties.
