TO THE ELECTORS OF TUB GISBORNE HARBOR DISTRICT. I BEG leave to offer uiy services to represent tlie County ratepayers on the Gisborne Harbor Board. A critical time is approaching in which you will be called upon to decide whether you will continue to use the present harbor, or whether you will proceed to the construction ot an outer harbor, capable of accommodating several of the big ocean liners. As the harbor is at present, our wool ships and frozen meat ships are loaded in a time which compares favorably with other ports. With regard to the passenger traffic, the best way to improve it would be to devote, our energies tow aids completing our railway to connect with Auckland and Napier. Passengers need not then go by sea at all i am not in favor of the erection of an outer harbor until the time comes when it call be clearly shown that it will not result in an increase of the jiort charges, and that the burden laid upon the ratepayers "ill not be gt eater than it is at present. I yield to no one in my desire io see the district go ahead, and cspojinlly to see the back country thrown open and settled, but this will not be facilitated by an increase of the rates and harboi dues. Jt is not likely that an outer harbor could be built for less than £SOO- - and it would probably In: much more. All artificial harbors are cxi erimental Should you do me the honor to elect me, I will do my best for the i atepayers- and to further the best interests of the district. CHARLES GRAY. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE GISBORNE HARBOR DISTRICT. IN again offering our services on the Gisborne Harbor Board, wo have decided, at tlie suggestion of a number of your follow-electors, to express our viows on what may be regarded as tho most important questions affecting the Harbor administration. >

(Ist.) Wo arc in favor oi' a good outer lmrbor, wliicli, in addition to the general accommodation, must provide for at least two of the largo ocean boats, at the one time, ami rve consider the time now opportuno to take it in hand. (2nd.) We are in favor of increasing the port and other charges payable by ships, and proportionately reducing and adjusting the wharfage charges payable by the shippers, but so that the total present revenue of the Board will not be diminished. (3rd.) To so far as possible to conserve the funds of the Board for an cuter harbor, we consider that the work decided upon ut the last meeting of the Board, namely, for a wharf and reclamation on the Kaili side, should be carried out, inasmuch us it is essential for the convenience of the port, as w ; ell as for reclaiming land suitable for a depot in connection with an outer harbor. We are, Yours obediently, J. WHINRAY, D. HEPBURN. J. A. HARDING, W. DOUGLAS LYSNAR.
