That, your petitioners, in common with the great majority of the residents in this Harbor District, are desirous that the question of the building of a deep-sea harbor at Gisborne shall be submitted to the vote of the ratepayers here without delay. 2. That your petitioners have seen with regret that the Local Bills Committee havp recommended the postponement of the consideration of the “Gisborne Harbor Bill” until the next session of Parliament. 3. That the promoters of tho Bill do not request any assistance from the Government or Parliament of the colony, but are quite content to pay for the construction of the outer harbor at Gisborne, if the legal majority of the ratepayers in this district require such construction. 4. That your petitioners are aware that certain amendments and alterations have been made in the proposed BUI. 5. That your petitioners aver that there is a widespread feeling in this district in favor of the construction of an outer harbor at Gisborne, if snob a work tin be accomplished without placing too heavy a burden upon the shoulders of the ratepayers, which must be decided by the ratepayers themselves. ', WHEREFORE YOUR PETITIONERS PRAY that your Honorable House will be pleased to pass tho “Gisborne Harbor Bill” as amended, as soon as it will suit the convenience of Parliament, in order that the question of constructing an outer harbor here may be at once submitted to the ratepayers for their decision.
