TO THE RATEPAYERS OF THE COOK AND WAIAPU HARBOR DISTRICT. Ladies and gentlemen,— As previously .announced, I am a Candidate for the vacancy oil the Gisborne Harbor Board. 1 am satisfied that our future prosperity will be materially aided by securing a reliable Outer Harbor, and, with this in view, consider that a scheme based on the best engineering advice possible should be placed befor the ratepayers at the earliest opportunity. 1 am also of opinion that the expenditure oil the river should be curtailed as far as is compatible with keeping the channel open to its present depth, and maintaining the best shipping facilities possible, and consider this can be well done without tlie strikng of a rate. 1 would strongly oppose any unnecessary exneiidibure in blasting in the river other than the removal of any rocks that may be found obstructive to the traffic in the channel. Any measures brought forward calculated to advance the interests ol the District, or to afford increased facaiities for handling our produce and merchandise at the port, or conducive. to the comfort of the travelling public, will meet with my hearty co-operation. I remain, Yours faithfully, T. HOLDEN. OIL ENGINES. MR. A. WILLIAMSON begs to announce that having secured tlie local agency of the famous BLACKSTONE OIL ENGINE, the best on the market, lie is now prepared to accept orders for same.
