C- ten: tn, M.P. for Gisborne will, in the same terms as are expressed in regard to the Northwestern section of the Bay of Plenty Electorate, attend to the electoral needs in the South Eastern portion of the electorate. The district which Mr Coleman will look after on Mr Hultquist's behalf includes the following post offices: Gisborne, Matawai, Motu, Ruatoria, Te Araroa* Te Karaka, Tikitiki, Tokomaru Bay, Tolaga Bay, Waipiro Bay, Aorangi, Arero, East Cape, Hautanoa, Hexton Hicks Bay, Horoero, Makaraka, Makauri, Mangapapa, Motuhora, Orrnond, Otoko, Puha, Rakauroa, Rangitukia, Te Puia Springs, Waerenga-a> hika, Waikohu, Waimata Valley, Waiomatatini, Waipaoa, Waitakaro, Whakaangiangi, Whangara, Whatatutu.

Mr Coleman's address during the Parliamentary recess is 161 Stanley Road, Gisborne, or c/o the Borough Council Chambers, Gisborne. When the House is in session, his address is the same as Mr Moncur's.

The fact that Messrs Moncur and Coleman Ms.P. have so willingly agreed to look after the interests, of the Bay of Plenty electors is. naturally, a cause for the utmost appreciation of their generous action by Mr Hultquist himself, who has asked this paper to assure electors thai their affairs will be well cared for by his two colleagues.

He held first and second grade electrical fitter's tickets in Christchurch, and! a Master Wireman's Ticket in Dunedin in the days before the passing of the New Zealand Electrical Wireman's Registration Act, 1925. Since then he has been the holder of an Electri- , ■' F ! V cal Wireman's His knowledge of telephone installation especially and elcctrical installations generally is calculated to be helpful in the unit of the foites to wh'ch he ex-* f ' pects to be attached, viz the Signal-
