GISBOKNE HAKBOE BOAKD. TO THE COUNTY ELECTORS OF THE GISBORNE HARBOR BOARD. Ladies and Gentlemen, There being a general election for members of the Board to be taken next month, I beg respectfully to oiler my services. At present the Board have arranged for a large quantity of work, including the extension of the groyne and the building and using of an expensive dredge. The groyne and the dredge will cost about £22,000, and in addition to this the working expenses of the dredge have to be provided for. This work has been submitted to Mr Napier Bell for his approval, and his repor recommends the work being carried out. As a layman, if elected to the Board I shall do my best to see the present authorised work carried out with , expedition and economy. From a perusal of the statement of accounts published to the end of 1809, and a glance to-day of what the figures will be in the Board’s statement to 31st December, 1900,1 am strongly of opinion that without any alteration to the existing wharfage tariff, with which the district appears to be satisfied, the revenue of the Board in the very near future should with proper economy bo Buch that no harbor rates should be collectable, and that later the wharfage rates should bo 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 as good 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 finance of the Boa:d should be worked with a view of—(a) Abolishing the existing harbor rates, (b) Reducing the existing wharfage rate. With this expression of my views, I respectfully ask your consideration of my candid tturc. I am, Y mr obedient servant, F. J. SB ELION.
