TO THE ELECTORS OP THE COUNTIES OP COOK AND WAIAPU. JQADIKS AND GENTLEMEN,— In consenting to bo nominated as a candidate tor tho [vacant scat on tho Harbor Board, I do bo beoausc 1 fool we aro not getting value for our monoy which u being spent. . . With tho rapid growth of our distriot, an outer and doop-water harbor must be provided for in a vary few years, and with that obieot in view, every pound that aan bo saved from being Bunk in tho prosont primitive and temporary river improvement should bo saved for a moro useful and lasting work. In tho meantime, tho bast po.siblo uso should ba made of tho rivovnud a moro oconomioal way of ;keeping it opan should bo found. With that objeot, I favor a look on tho Turanganui (as already recommended to tho Harbor Board by a qualified engineer), in order that the water could bo lot go at low tide (when running out), so asj to assist in soouring the channel. 1 ulso advocate the favorable consideration of adopting a Banclpump in place of tho no-called gvao arougo, - John Town ley,” which, I fear, is grabbing moio rates than anything olao, for l notice that the waged alone for this dredge amounted last year to £Ol5 IDs Od without coal aud the cost of repairs (which aro cot specially recorded), but which would, no doubt, make a big hole in another £2OOO. , Last year’s rovenuo of tho Harbor Board amounted to £I2,GU4 12s 4d of whioh the Waiapu County directly contributed. £>"l4 3s Bd. Tako the rovenuo for the last six years, and it amounts to weft over £OO OUO whioh is all spent, with £30,000 of the original loan monoy, showing, thoroforo, that over £90,0i,0 has been spent by tho Board in the ast six y«arn. What is there to show :or if, anl how has it benefited us 1 searing in mind that our lightorago and vharfago charges aro greater now than beore a pound was spent on tho river works, v-hiob must have absorbed nearly as muon nonoy as would bo required, to provide us rith a doep-wnter harbor. I do not propose to malro any canvass oeond this address, but would ask all County nd Waiapu Ratepayers to make it their duty o go to the l-'oil on MONDAY NEXT, the th of Juno, and record their votes in favor f the candidate who they think, is beat able o assist, in curbing the present wasteful adliuistrntiou. I am, etc., w. DOUGLAS LXSNAB.
