URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL ELECTION, 1898. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTH WARD. F ELLOW ELECTORS,- At the inv'tation of the Liberal and Radical Association, I Appeal to You fIr support at the furthcoming Urban District. Council Elec- tion. I have resided in the South Ward since my advent to this town of my adoption—nearly ni, e y. ars ago hence I know the Ward ti or^uuhly, and am known by the majori'y of you. If elec ed, ti e inteiests of he South vVard will have my firt attention and the policy of improving certain parts of the town at tile expense of ttie other porrions I will strenuous'y oppose. The extrax,,)g;il t and unnecessary expenditure of the Council during rece ,t years is a serious matur aff cti, g the future prosperity of our to., ii, and cals for immediate attention. I w ill suppoi t efficiency and ecollolIJy-instead of the pre-ent inefficiency with its eAti ivagance, I am in favour of taking steps to obtiin more just terms from t"e County Council r l.ting to our R ad Approac' es, etc. The exis-tii g tenns as to inamtena' ce Hod ;nanagemei,t charges are un- just and prejudicial. The time has come when the Council should cons,lirlate its work by tstib'ishii g a Works' Department and municipa isany industry or ui d ruking immediately connected with the Public Auth,.rity. The incidence of the Rates, to be just, must be changed. I am in favour of assisting to form a Locai Govt riiiiiei t L, ague to brmg pr SStire in Parlia-merlt to pass a B 11 to enahlp Local Authori- ties to a-sess ground raits and laid values for lucal purposes. The growth in population and great in cease in R ,ta1.l, v¡¡,illes dem ,n s that we should loi-e in. tme in securing a or Liw Union and the stab- lishment of Cot age Homes as a cheaper and more humane administration of the Pour LAWS.

I hope to have the pleasure to call upon each of you and expldn any mal t r appertaini g to our common interes-t. Should circuuir-tances over which I i ave no control prevent me seeing you personally, I rust that you uill, as Free Citizens, consider my Appeal, and deem me woithy of your confidence and support.

MR. CORY FOR THE COUNTY COUNCIL. A TORY has raised his head in the West and South Wards in opposition to the accepted Liberal candidate-Mr John Cory-for election on the Glamorgan County Council. The ap- pearance of Captain Hamilton Murrell in the contest is significant from numerous consider- ations of serious and far-reaching import to the political, if not the commercial, prestige of the town. An attempt is being made by cajolery to hoodwiuk the electors of the town in
