AUGUSTUS HOMFRAY, 170] Mayor and Returning Officer. SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF NEWPORT, MON. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,-We return you our sincere thanks for the honor you hav conferred upon us, and congratulate you upon the result of the election. That result confirms the decision of the meeting of ratepayers, held at the Victoria Hall, on the 12th of December,—" That it was inexpedient and unneces- sary to form a School Board for the Borough of Newport and we consider that the position in which you have placed us is a conclusive answer to the statements which have beeu put forth by the ad- vocates of the School Board, that the meeting was packed, and did not represent the views of a majority of the ratepayers. As members of the School Board, it will now be our duty to do all that lies in our power to give full effect to the provisions of the Elementary Education Act, in a spirit of impartiality, and with judicious economy and, by so doing, we shall endeavour to refute the charge which has been brought against us, of desiring to make the Act of no effect. We have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your faithful Servants, SAMUEL HOMFRAY. THOMAS COLBORNE. SAMUEL FOX. February 4th, 1871. [171 SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF NEWPORT. T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN, — The official declaration of the result of the recent contest must, I think, be as gratifying to many of you as it is to me. The place which your favour has as- signed to me in the list of candidates elected is no dubious one hence I can have no doubt that a very large majority of your number wish me to serve you at the Board. Equally assuring to themselves and equally pleasing to you must be the very large majorities of votes recorded for the gentlemen who stood with me on the Voluntary side in the contest. I shall enter upon my duties at the School Board deeply sensible of the responsibility which your gene. rous confidence and the grave and critical questions to be considered, alike impose. It will be my desire to show the fullest appreciation of your confidence by devoting time and thought to the duties devolving upon me, and by a faithful execution of the trusts imposed by the Elementary Education Act. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Yours very obediently, WM. CHRISTOPHERS. February 6, 1871. SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION. TO THE RATEPAYERS OF THE BOROUGH OF NEWPORT. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,—We thank you for the honour you have conferred upon u s by electing us to seats at the School Board and we beg to assure you that we shall be ready to co-operate with our colleagues in earnestly using, without unne- cessary delay, all right means for a judicious control over such Schools as may be transferred to the Board, and for educating those unfortunate children which other agencies fail to reach. We are, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient servants, THOS. BEYNON. T. B. BATCHELOR. HENRY PHILLIPS. 16!030] R. N. OSBORNE.
