TO THE MUNICIPAL ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF CARDIFF. GENTLEMEN, ——— AN Address has been issued by Mr. JOHN BATCIIF.I.O'R, wherein he declares his intention to offer himself as a Candidate for a Seat at the Council Board, when the Vacancy occasioned by the Retirement of Mr. Alderman EVANS, shall be filled up. This, at least, is premature, as my Father has not RESIGNED; when he does, let me assure you, it is my determination to solicit your Suffrages; and, if Elected it will be my study to follow the same independent course he has pursued for the Thirteen Years he has sat at that Board, whereby he has received so many reiterated assurances of confidence at your hands. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, Cardiff, 14th Sept., 1818. JOHN EVANS. TO THE MAGISTRATES OF THE COUNTY OF GLAMORGAN. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, A VACANCY having occurred through the resignation of Mr. Whittington as COUNTY SURVEYOR, I beg most respectfully to announce myself a Candidate for the Situation. As the great desideratum is to have a sound practical man, one no way connected with Tradesmen who may be competitor-) for work to be done, as such I offer myself, having been brought up as a Builder under emi- nent masters, with a thorough knowledge of Architectural Drawings, Specifications, the Letting of Work, and the various customs of Measuring. Having had thp superintendence of some of the best works in the Building Line, and trust I shall have an op- portunity of showing my Testimonials from Noblemen, Gentlemen, and A rchitects, under whom I have been engaged I trust my experience will enable me duly to appreciate Workmanship and Material of every des- cription. Should I have the honour of being appointed, I pledge myself that no exertion on my part should be wanting in the due discharge of the duties devolving upon me. I have the honour to be, My Lords and Gentlemen, Your most obedient Servant, PAUL SHARPE. Merthyr, 13th July, 1848. TO THE MAGISTRATES OF THE COUNTY OF GLAMORGAN. Cardiff, July 1st, 1848. MY LORDS AND GENTT.KMEN, riIHE Situation of COUNTY SURVEYOR having JL become vacant by the resignation of Mr. Whitting- ton, I most respectfully solicit the honour of jour Vote and Interest, whenever his Successor is to be"appointed. I have been extensively engaged as a Builder and Sur- veyor for many years, and can refer to many Gentlemen, in and about this neighbourhood, who have honoured me with their commands upon various occasions. Should I be favoured with your support, 1 pledge the eXNcise of my best cXNtions in order to rlo credit to your choice. I have the honour to be, My Lords and Gentlemen, Your most obedient and faithful Servant, DANIEL THOMAS. TO THE MAGISTRATES OF THE COUNTY OF GLAMORGAN. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, ALLOW me, through the medium of a Public Address, to announce my intention of becoming a Candidate for the vacant Office of COUNTY SURVEYOR, by the resignation of Mr. Whittington. I presume to offer myself to your notice from having been extensively engaged, professionally and practically, as an Architect and Surveyor, together with general employment in Measuring and Valuing different artificers' work in this and the adjoining counties. I am thereby enabled, without extraneous assistance, to prepare Fi- nished Designs, Plans, Practical Working Drawings and Details, Specifications and Estimates, when required, for all Public llmllling., Bridges, and other Works, toge- ther with Illustrated Reports, and to superintend the Erection and Repair of the same, &c. &< The different Testimonials and papers of my personal and practical ability, which I shall have the honour of presenting before the Court, of pliblic and private Build- ings, County Bridges, &c., erected in different counties, which I have had the superintendence of, w II, I doubt. not, ensure your approval. Should I be successful in obtaining the object of my hopes, no effort on my part shall be wanting to realize the expectations of those who confide in me.
