TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROT OF GISBORNE. st ig to id 2, :e e, y i, asd Gentlemen, — In definitely deciding to si for the approaching Borough Election, ] so with a desire to assist in developing Borough in proportion to the developmen our back country, and keep pace as far possible with other parts of the colony, it would seem as though this town is mak slower progress than our back country, i is much behind other towns in the colony similar importance. At the same time, I recognise that dur the next Council’s term of office very i portant questions will have to be consider and our future welfare and progress * much depend upon the way these questic are dealt with. I am distinctly in favor of a Water a Drainage scheme, but it must have a su cient foundation so as to include be Whataupoko and Haiti inj'the future, if r the thickly settled parts now, and not be a make-shift kind. The question of Electricity I should co sider favorably, but I would consider tt matter mainly from a financial point of vie and not as an immediate necessity. I consider the Fire Brigade applianc require strengthening considerably. That better sanitary arrangements shou be made to clean our streets and bat premises. That better arrangements should be mac to supply our town with metal. And, generally, I consider the Boroug employes require better appliances for worl ing with, so as to enable them to sho greater results for their labor than i present; and I promise those who suppoi me that, if favored with a seat, I will do m best to number the days of the old han roadTSCrapers, and see what a horse-scrape can do in their place. I am, etc., W. DOUGLAS LYSNAR. P.S.—Regarding the Metal question, would like to say that for- some time past have felt great advantage could-be obtainei by utilising some of the shelly limestone tha is obtainable at the back of Whataupoko fo the side and back streets, where the traffic i not heavy, and even to use it on the mail streets as a foundation, with the Patutah metal spread on top. This metal could bi brought to town for a very small cost, ant cheaper than the inferior river shingle tha the Borough have been putting on to somi of the back streets. It will, of course, cost more for quarrying and breaking, but as against this we wil have our back streets metalled with a very good second-class metal, instead of the sandy rubbish that is being carted on to them; ir this way we should be able to get bettei 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 Council to go on its own, I feel sure the three 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 handsomely. W.D.L. TO THE ELECTORS. and Gentlemen, — I am a Candidate at the Borough Election, to be held on Wednesday, and, if elected, will support a progressive policy, including: WATER AND DRAINAGE (Guided by professional advice), A CLEAN CITY (Street cleaning and watering to be more efficient and less expensive than at present), MORE GAS LAMPS, ROAD-MAKING PLANT, (All important works undertaken to be of a permanent nature), TARRING FOOTPATHS (More especially the bye roads and side streets). If elected, I shall endeavor to have fair consideration shown to all parts of the Borough, and shall devote considerable energy to place our Borough in line with other towns. Yours faithfully, WM. MILLER. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF GISBORNE. 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.
