  • 18 Aug 1897: Correspondence. BERWICK RIDING ELECTION. TO THE EDITOR. Sir-It is very much to be regretted that Cr. Barr should resort to such an unworthy method of obtaining support from the ratepayers in this riding, as is exhibited in his address to them in your contemporary's issue of this week. Mr. Curtois has, at various times, been a resident in the district for over twenty years, and has always, during that time, been anxious to assist in every movement for forwading the best interests of the neighborhood. He has had large business experience. He is a distinguished civil engineer and surveyor, and thus his professional knowledge would be especially valuable as a councillor. He is a gentle man of widely acknowledged integrity and conscientiousness. Mr. Barr ! Well, is he afraid of being overshadowed by such qualifications? It seems like it : else why such an utterly undeserved and uncalled for attack as is made in his letter upon his brother councillor, who has expended so much time, labor, and ability, in the interests of the council since he entered it. And to my knowledge Cr. Vieusseux has paid periodical visits of inspection not to one part but to every part of the riding, in order to be acquainted with the requirements of the whole. In the matter of the sanitary scheme, alluded to by Mr. Barr. How could Cr. Vieusseux be brooding over it for twelve months when he has only been nine months a member of the council? And is it not Cr. Barr's own action in constantly delaying attention to this question which has occasioned it's being shelved? As to the arrangements regarding the loan, was not this serious indebtedness incurred with Cr. Barr's approval, long before Cr. Vieusseux's connection with the council? It was Cr. Vieusseux who was selected, on the motion of Cr. Barr, as representa tive for the shire at the Municipal Loan Conference—his abilities as a financier being recognised as specially fitting him for the position—to discuss the best means of alleviating this terrible incubus upon the shire's resources: the council subsequently passing a unanimous vote of thanks to him for his valuable services in connection with this matter, Mr. Barr himself being a supporter of the resolution. So far as I have watched Cr. Vieusseux's career, he has filled the position of coun cillor with conspicuous ability, integrity, judgment, and disinterestedness. And this seems to be the opinion of most of his fellow councillors, for although the chief charge against him is that he has opposed Cr. Barr, yet I have noted that on every occasion of such opposition, Cr. Vieusseux has had the support of the rest of the council and Mr. Barr has been left "in solitary grandeur, alone." And why bring in the subject of Free Trade? What has it to do with this election for the council? If it has any connection with it, we all know that Mr. Barr is an out and out "free trader," and as such, at a recent public meeting, played a far more conspicuous part than Mr. Curtois has ever done. Note this my Protectionist friends. As to where the candidate resides. What does it matter what part of the riding his home is in? Let us have the best man, wherever he lives. I am quite sure from what I know of Mr. Curtois, that, if elected, every part of the riding will enjoy an honest and fair consideration of its interests. Can Mr. Barr explain why the proposed deviation road avoiding Mr. G. Robinson's hill, through Mr. Barr's property, has not been gone on with ? Has Mr. Barr shown any consideration for the ratepayers of Narree Warren, by his conduct in con nection with this needed improvement. I repeat, is Mr. Barr afraid of men of superior ability and probity to himself being in the council? Some such miserably jealous feeling seems to bare inspired his letter—at least so it appears to—yours, &c. RATEPAYER. Francis Barr18
  • 25 Aug 1897: BERWICK SHIRE ELECTIONS To the Ratepayer of the Berwick Riding. Ladies and Gentlemen Having been requested by a large number of ratepayers in the Riding to offer myself as a candidate to represent you in the Council, I have much pleasure in doing so. Having a thorough knowledge of the district for many years past, and now having ample time at my disposal, I shall be able, if elected, to devote a portion of it to the duties appertaining to the office, which facts, with the advantage of my Professional knowledge as an engineer and surveyor, will, I hope, recommend me to your favorable consideration at the ballot box. Yours faithfully, WILLOUGHBY CURTOIS19
