Ladies and Genu v.emen, There bfting a general election for members of the Board to be taken next month, I beg respectfully to offer my services. At present the Board have arranged for a large quantity of work, including the extension of the groyne anti the building and using of an expensive chredge. The groyne and the dredge wi’ll cost in addition to this the working expanses of the dredge have to be provided for. This work has been submitted to Mr Napier Bell for his approval, and 1 his repor recommends the work being carrii’.d out. As a layman, if elected to- the Board I shall do my best to see the preset it authorised work carried out with expedition and economy. From a perusal' of the state ment of accounts published to the end of 181 1 9, and a glance to-day of what, the figures wl lj be in the Board’s statement to 31st Deo/ember, 1900,1 am strongly of opinion that Without any alteration to the existing wharfage? tariff, with which the district appears to be siVti&'fied, the revenue of the Board in the very" near future should with proper economy be such that no harbor rates should be collectable, and that later the wharfage rates should t>e reduced as the volume of the trade of the port increases. ' « If elected, I will do my best to see—(l.) That the shipping interest gets asgcod facilities as it is entitled to in such a port as Gisborne. (2.) That, the accommodation for passengers coming and going shall receive fair attention at the hands of the Board. (3.) That.the large expenditure to which the Board is at present committed' is carried out with the best economy and with due consideration to the best results. (4.) That the fine me of the Boa:d shoo’d be worked with a view of—(a) Abolishing the existing harbor rates, (b) Reducing the existing wharfage rale. With this expression of my views, I respectfully ask your consideration of my candidature. I am, Your obedient servant, F. J. SHELTON.
