HARBOR BOARD: ELECTION, ,T 0 THE COUNTY ELECTORS, T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,>— JLi Holding that the forthcoming Election should he fought out on a direct iss|ue, Ii consented to ibpwig nominated as a- Can,diddle for a seat) on the Board. - I publicly, -opposed the present scheme at its incep.tfon : If elected I -will endeavor: to stop the present work and .the extravagant expenditure —it cannot and never will afford settlers relief from tho present oppressive taxation. A proper and efficient sand-pump would keep tho channel open for navigation fo-n the class of vessels that now enter it 'any, of much greater tonnage will never use it. Our resources should be conserved for the purpose of constructing a harbor capable of berthing ocean-gor-ing steamers. The district’s ability, to fd-o such a work is governed by the volume and value of its exports, and tho cost of conveying them to the steamer’s hold. For the future welfare of the district I deem it to he my duty to bo outspoken. If you approve of the present scheme, do nob vote for me ; but if, on the contrary, you disapprove of it, show, it by placing me at the head of tho poll.—l am, yours faithfully, A. FORDB MATTHEWS^
