RATEPAYERS ! FTEZt 20 years of invastiga tien, no better water supply has beeu discovered than WAIHIRERE. Are wo to wait another 20 years ? NO ! VOTE STRAIGHT FOR WAIHIRERE! Ratepayers: For the first time in the history of our Borough, we ask you to authorise the Council to provide the means to carry out A DRAINAGE SYSTEM. After careful investigation, one has been laid before you. VOTE STRAIGHT FOR THIS, and thus enable the Council to remove the fever stigma from Gisborne. J. TOWNLEY, Mayor.

•OTB FOB P ROGRESS, IJEALTH, AND A £ILEAN The Schema before you is not the mere creation of an Amateur, but the oarefullyeonsidered work of an EXPERIENCED ENGINEER. The Engineer whose reputation is at stake is fully satisfied aB to the success of the WATER AND DRAINAGE SCHEMES. Mr Mestayer does not reckon upon the water running over the Falls now to fill the Reservoir, but on getting the surplus of the winter flow to supply the deficiency of the summer months. An impartial journalist points out that the reported slips and flaws in the ground are BELOW the site of the dam. JQON’T JgE j^ISLED! lARRY THE -T>OLL 1

OTICE TO jgATEPAYERS. (1) Voters, record your Votes ; Don’t stay away, as tho poll is decided on a Bare Majority of the ACTUAL VOTES recorded. (2) Tho Drainage scheme, however imperfect, is not intondcd and cannot possibly drain off the storm or surface wator. (3) No provision is made for supplying the wants of Greater Gisborne, which should be in any comprehensive and complete scheme. (4) If the scheme included tho Suburbs about to be incorporated, the cost to Gisborne proper would have been greatly reduced, while all would have benefited. (5) You are asked to vote for an indefinite scheme of Sewerage, involving .£30,000 to start with, and then leave the soheme and portion of the town to be served to the discretion of the Council. (6) The flow of water at the Waihirere Falls to-day only partially filled a 21-inoh pipe. Consider what the flow would be in any ordinary dry season. We are told there are no slips ; that the land is not liable to slips, and the ground was solid. Go and see the slips and inspeot the ground, with large holes and underground channels at tho site of the proposed dam ; also consider whether such broken ground will or is likely to hold water. (7) Consider your interest before voting, and VOTE AGAINST THE PRESENT UNWISE WATER AND DRAINAGE SCHEME, so that better I ones can be obtained.
