HARBOR ELECTION. ELECTORS OF COOK AND WAIAPU COUNTIES. Ladies and gentlemen.— I have much pleasure in offering my services for the vacant seat on tlio Gisbonio Harbor Board. I have a strong belief in the future of the East Coast and its immense possibilities. j I hove noted with satisfaction the expansion of our trado and tlio increase of our products, and few things would 'givn ino greater ploasuro than seeing that rapid expansion continued oven at a greater rate than hitherto. To aid this development, our shipping facilities must bo improved and more, frequent communication with outside parts must bo sought. 1 As a member of tlio Board for many years, my views on harbor matters generally no doubt are well known to you. Suffice it to say now that it elected I shall see that Mr. Marchaiit’s oiitor harbor scheme with all available information relating thereto'is'placed beforo the ratepayers at as early a date as possible. I am, Yours faithfully, JOHN TOWNLEY.

TO THE RATEPAYERS OF THE COOK AND WAIAPU HARBOR DISTRICT. Ladies and gentlemen,~ As previously announced, I am u Candidate for the vacancy on the Gisborne Harbor Board. I am satisfied that our future prosperity will be materially aided by securing a reliable Outer Harbor, and, with-this iii view, consider that a scheme based on the best engineering advice possible should be placed before the ratepayers at the earliest opportunity. I am also of opinion that the expenditure on 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 bo well done without the strikng of a rate. I would strongly oppose any unnecessary expenditure 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 of the District, or to afford increased facilities for handling our produce and merchandise at tho port, or conducive to the comfort of fjie travelling public, will meet with my hearty co-operation. I remain. Yours faithfully, T. HOLDEN.
