HARBOR BOARD ELECTION. TO THE ELECTORS OP THE COUNTY* and Gentlemen,— In again offering my services as your representative on the Harbor Board, I would assure you that, as heretofore, if re-elected, I shall in every way support the giving effect to the expert advice which has been obtained; and, also, being thoroughly satisfied with the ability of the Engineer to successfully carry out the works proposed, I shall second his efforts to the utmost of my power. On all questions of finance I shall do my best to make the burden ’of taxation bear equitably and as lightly as possible. I shall heartily co-operate in _ every endeavor to afford improved facilities for both passenger and cargo traffic, recognising that at present there is considerable room for improvement in the conveniences at present available to the public. Thanking you for your support in the past. Yours faithfully, WILLIAM COOPER. TO THE ELECTORS COUNTY HARBOR DISTRICT. -J~yU)iES and Gentlemen, — For the fifth time I beg to solicit your votes at the forthcoming election. I have had the pleasure of representing the County on the Harbor Board for the past eight years, and duriug the whole of this period I have most assiduously attended to the business of tbe Board. I have been a strong advocate for progress in Harbor works, at the same time endeavoring to economise in every possible direction the funds of the Board. I look upon the great improvements which have taken place in our port with considerable pleasure, and trust the electors take the same view. If returned again, I shall endeavor to continue the improvements we are making, feeling confident the result will be such as to enable the Board to reduce rates and wharfages to ft considerable extent. I also desire to state that I believe if the works are not continued the time and expense already incurred will in a large measure be lost. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, P, HEPBURNi
