TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF GISBORNE. AND GENTLEMEN, — At this juncture in the

affairs of the Borough, a, grave responsibility rests upon any citizen seeking your suffrages. It is a time of transition —the old order of things are justly passing away, and new and up-to-dat.: methods should become the vogue. Gieborne is the natural outlet of a large and productive district, which oare and prudence will permanently fix. The town should be provided with all modern conveniences made attractive to its own people, as well as to strangers who enter its gates.

Water and drainage, effective street lighting, good roads and footpaths, and another bridge over the Taruheru : these things are essential, and if economy, forethought, and prudence are exercised, are well within the resources of the town, without unduly burdening the ratepayers. The present ia essentially a time to be oandid, and frank. I am opposed to Mr Mestayer’s scheme for water and drainage; it is too oostly, entailing a special rate too heavy for the people to bear, and only proviuing for the future at a furtn.r enormous cost. It will probably simplify matters :f thiu question is made the main issue in the iormcoming contest, and n tois question I nail my colors to the mas. I am,

Lauiea and Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, A. MATXHcWa. DIOCESAN SYNOD OF WAIAPU. ELECTORAL DISTRICT OF GISBORNE.
