My nomination has been proposed by Ms. A. O. LANG, and arconded by Ma. G. C. Moxon.
It is only six months ago that I addressed you with regard to my candidature for the same scal, and I can only repeat that. if I have the honour to be elected I shall direct my energios to the solution of the Housing Problem, the further development of the Colony by means of new roads, opening up new areas casily accessible for all kind of traffic, and the resumption of old and insanitary houses in the densely populated parts of the City-on all of which matters I think I may claim special qualifications.
I bave the honour to be,
Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, H. W. BIRD.
