HARBOR BOARD ELECTIONS. TO THE RATEPAYERS OF COOK AND WAIAPU COUNTIES. f. ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— a candidate- at the Election lor two members of the Gisborne Harbor Board to be held on February Bth. In regard to tho proposed outer harbor, I am of opinion, that neither of the schemes brought forward lmve sufficient data behind them to justify ns in borrowing such a large'sum of money to spend upon what can only be at the best an experimental work. One of the engineers in his report admits that the proposed work can never be relied upon as a harbor of refuge, owing to the fact that it would be unsafe to attempt' to enter it in bad weather. This admission coupled with the fact that the generally expressed opinion amongst shipmasters is that at best it would be only a fine weather harbor, should be sufficient to convince all prudent persons of the necessity of caution before finally committing ourselves to a work of such magnitude and such doubtful utility. - As tho river is likely to be our only harbor for some time to come I consider it essential that a more up-to-date plant should be acquired for dealing with.- the silt question. I do not consider the policy of placing- heavier burdens upon tho shipping is a Aviso one, as it tends to limit the number of vessels coming to the port, 'and if pushed to extremes may result in an increase of freight being charged. If you do me the honor to_ elect me as one of your representatives you may rely upon my doing my best to further the interests of the district generally. Yours Faithfully, J. B. KELLS.
