TO THE ELECTORS OP THE COUNTIES OP COOK AND WAIAPU. X ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— In oonaonting to bo noininutoil aa a candidate lor the ’vaoaut sont on the Harbor Board, I do bo booauao 1 feol wo nro not gotting valuo lor our money whiob i 3 boing spont. , With the rapid growth o£ our district, an outer and deep-water harbor muot bo provided lor in a very lew years, and-with that object in view, every pound that can bo saved from being sunk in the present primitive and temporary river improvement should be Bavod for a more useful and lasting work. In tko meantime, the boat possible use should b*> made of tho river and a more economical way of it open should be found. With that object, I favor a look on the Turanganui (as already recommended to the Harbor Board by a qualified engineer), in i order that the water could be lob go at low tide (wh«n running out), so asj to assist in scouring the ohanucl. X also advocate the favorable consideration of adopting a eandpump in pluoe of the so-called gruo drodgo, John Townley,” whioh, I fear, is grabbing rnoie rat.s than anything olao, for X notice that tho wages alone for thi3 dredg.' amounted lass year to £Ol5 10s 6d without coal and the cost of repairs (which are not specially recorded), but which would, no doubt, make Ia big hole in another £2OOO. Last year’s reveuuo of the Harbor Board amounted to £l2,Qii4 12s 4d, of whioh the Waiapu County directly contributed £914 3s Bd. Take the revenue for the last six years, and ic amounts to well over £6O 000 whioh is all spent, with £30,000 of »he original loan money, showing, therefore, that over £90,000 has baeu spent by the Bo.ird in the last six years. What is there to show for ii, an 1 how has it benefited us? boarirg in mind that our lighterage and wharfage charges are greater now than before a pound was spont on tho river works, j which must have absorbed nearly as much money as would be reqmred to provide us with a deep-water harber. I do net propose to make auy cinvass beyond this address, but would ac-k all County and Waiapu Xiatepayers to make it their duty to go to the Foil on MONDAY JMfc.XT, the sth of June, and record their votes in favor cf the candidate who they think is best able to assist in curbing tho prebent wasteful administration. I am, etc., W. DOUGLAS UYSNAB. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE HARBOR BOARD IN THE COUNTIES OF COOK AND WAIAPU.
