TO THE BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF GISBORNE, AND GENTLEMEN,— In response to the request of a large number of ratepayers, I beg to offer you my services as Mayor during the coming year. My views generally on Municipal matters are strongly progressive. The most important question, at present before the Council is that of sanitation, in which I take a very keen interest. I am earnestly desir-i ous of initiating a Drainage System in the more congested parts of the Borough, which may be extended to ombraco other portions as necessity arises. => . The Water Supply must be pushed to a successful completion, and those streets not already reticulated must bo provided for as speedily as possible. There is no doubt that our Streets and Roads generally are in a deplorable condition. Many are without metal at all, and in many more the metal is worn out. The whole question resolves itself into that of obtaining a cheaper and more regular supply of metal. I shall endeavor to develop the sourcos of metal we already possess, and also to procure additional supplies.

The number of Street Lamps should be considerably augmented. I am in favor of tho Municipal' control of the Gas Works, and of bringing the Fire Boards Act into operation. I oonsidor that the time has arrived when Gisborne should have a continuous Telephone Service, in order to bring it into line with centres of equal importance. I am strongly of the opinion that provision requires to bo made for cases of Chronic Disease such as cannot bo dealt with in our present Hospital, and also that tho present accommodation at the Old Men's Homo should be extended so as to include both sexes. If you elect mo I shall have a seat on the Harbour Board. lam in favor of the construction of an efficient Outer Harbor, believing that better shipping facilities would materially advance tho welfare of the town and district. I endorse tho action of the Board in procuring llie advice of eminent engineers, and in referring the plans to the marine suxierintendents of tho companies .trading to the port. I shall use every endeavour to have the matter placed fairly and squarely before tho ratepayers as early as possible. I am anxious that futher Reserves should be secured for the people, and especially desire to obtain a Public Reserve up the Waimata River for the uso of boating parties. I heartily advocate that our Railway should be pushed on without further delay. When the forests are tapped an export timber trado will bo developed, which will result in materially reducing freights on coal and other imports, thus reducing the cost of living in Gisborne. I have the utmost faith in the future development of Gisborne, and should you honor me by election it will bo my constant endeavor to promote and advance its interests by every means in my power. My watchword will over be “Progress.” Yours faithfully, J. W. WILLIAMS.
