and Gentlemen, — In definitely deciding to stand for the approaching Borough Election, I do so with a desire to assist in developing this Borough in proportion to the development of our back country, and keep pace as far as possible with other parts of the colony, for it would seem as though this town is making slower progress than our back country, and is much behind other towns in the colony of similar importance. At the same time, I recognise that during the next Council’s term of office very important 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 Kaiti 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 greater results for their labor than at present; and I promise those who support me that, if favored with a seat, I will do my best to number the days of the old hand road-scrapers, and see what a horse-scraper can do in their place. I am, etc., W. DOUGLAS LYSNAR. P.S.—Regarding the Metal question, I would like to say that for some time past I have felt great advantage could, be obtained by utilising some of the shelly limestone that is obtainable at the back of Whataupoko for the side and back streets, where the traffic is not heavy, and even to use it on the main streets as a foundation, with the Patutahi metal spread on top. This metal could be brought to town for a very small cost, and cheaper than tho inferior river shingle that the Borough have been putting on to some of tho back streets. It will, of course, cost more for quarrying and breaking, but as against this we will have our back streets metalled with a very good second-class metal, instead of the sandy rubbish that is being carted on to them; in this way we should be able to' get better streets, with very little extra cost, and enable the good and costly metal from Patutahi to be used to further and better advantage. Then, if the Borough joined hands with the Whataupoko and Kaiti authorities to secure a traction engine for the three bodies, so as to do their own haulage, leaving the County Counoil to go on its own, I feel sure the throe bodies would obtain quite twice the result, with very little, if any, extra cost than at present, and the engine could be kept well employed, and so pay for its cost hand-

TO THE BURGESSES OF THE BOBOUGH OF GISBORNE. jAdies and Gentlemen,— I am a candidate at the forthcoming Election, and respectfully solicit your support. Matters of 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 OR 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 I have the honor to be, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, JOHN SHERIDAN. TO~ THE BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF GISBORNE. 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 not 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 hi 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, .street 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 dei sire being to see the town progress more rapidly than in the past. Y'ours faithfully, THOS.
