TO THE EIiECTOBS OF THE BOROUGH OF GISBORNE. Abies and Gentlemen, — 3 In definitely deciding to stand 3 for the approaching Borough Election, I do £ so with a desire to assist in developing this Borough in proportion to the development of c our back country, and keep pace as far as ' possible with other part 3of the colony, for ■ it would seem as though this town is making i slower progress than our back country, and i is much behind other towns in the colony of i similar importance. | At the same time, I recognise that during 1 the next Council’s term of office very im- ' portant questions will have to be considered, and our future welfare and progress will much depend upon the way these questions are dealt with. lam distinctly in favor of a Water and Drainage scheme, but it must have a sufficient foundation so as to include both Whataupoko and Haiti in the future, if not the thickly settled parts now, and not be of a make-shift kind. The question of Electricity I should consider favorably, but I would consider this matter mainly from a financial point of view, and not as an immediate necessity. I consider the Fire Brigade appliances ■ require strengthening considerably. That better sanitary arrangements should be made to clean our streets and back premises. That better arrangements should be made to supply our town with metal. , And, generally, I consider the Borough employes require better appliances for working with, so as to enable them to show c greater results for their labor than at present; and I promise those who support I me that, if favored with a seat, I will do my best to number the days of the old hand road-scrapers, anR see what a horse-scraper can do in their place. I am, etc., W. DOUGLAS LYSNAR. — 6 TO THE BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF GISBORNE. AND GdNTLEMEN, — I am a candidate at the forthcoming Election, and respectfully solicit 1. your support.

Matters ol vital importance are to be discussed and dealt with by the incoming Council, and should you consider my services of any value, I shall devote my whole attention to the advancement of your interests. I. am a staunch supporter of all Progressive schemes for the improvement of the sanitary condition of the Borough, and am of opinion that by a re-arrange-ment of our finances the necessary works will be carried out WITH LITTLE OB NO INCREASE to the burden of the taxpayer. By the employment of up -to - date methods, our thorougfares can be kept thoroughly clean at ONE THIRD THE COST of our present unsatisfactory and obsolete method. I shall,, if elected, conscientiously endeavor to' see that available funds are expended equitably throughout the Borough, and not exclusively devoted to any particular locality. I have the honor to be, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, JOHN SHERIDAN. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OE GISBORNE. J’yi.DIES AND GENTLEMEN, — I respectfully request your support and votes at the forthcoming Election, and in doing so would briefly state that I am in favor of a Progressive Policy. The several matters of importance shortly to come before the Council for consideration will require careful attention in order that the progress of the town may net be retarded; and, to my mind, the Drainage and Water Supply are first in importance, and an absolute necessity. I have also been forcibly impressed with the old-fashioned ideas existing in Gisborne with reference to street cleaning and watering and, if elected, should endeavor to have more modern and expeditious appliances introduced for this purpose. lam of opinion that a Bridge is necessary at the upper end of the town to connect with North Gisborne, and in sanitary matters, lighting, recreation grounds, etc., Gisborne is lamentably behind towns of lesser importance. In conclusion, allow me to state I am not soliciting your votes for any personal motive, my whole desire being to see the town progress more rapidly than in the past.

Yours faithfully, THOS. MORRISON. CROWN LANDS SALE.. HATUMA ESTATE.'
