[Published by Arrangement.] WELLINGTON HARBOUR BOARD. To tho Electors of the Wellington Harbour Board District, of Manawatu, Oroua and Horowhenua. I have tho honour to again ofler myself as a candidate for one of the two seats on the Wellington Harbour Board, representing the above district, and have to thank you for your confidence in having returned me as ono of your representatives for so many years past. In supl»rt of my candidature may I submit that: — I have been a continuous member of the board for the past 18 years, and if again returned for another term will have been allowed the privilege of completing 20 years of what 1 claim with some confidence, has been useful service to this constituency. Tho experience gained during the uhovo period must be admitted to be of value. The Port of Wellington is not only the cheapest in the Dominion, but it can be shown to be 50 per cent, cheaper than tho average of Australian ports and 100 per cent, cheaper than the average of four of tho principal ports in Great Britain. Its employees are amongst the highest paid in Australia and New Zealand. These further enjoy the benefits of superannuation (the board being the first local body to institute this) and life insurance. Its equipment is admittedly comparable to anything in the Southern Hemisphere. The board has just passed through the most prosperous period in its existence. Tho economy and efficiency of its administration is auch that in spite of the foregoing it has been enabled to reduco its wharf charges by £20,000 for the current year. This means a 25 per cent, reduction on all primary products, butter, cheese, wool, meat and hemp; alao 25 per cent, on all imports. The general manager of tho P. and O. Steamship Co., an admitted authority, says: — “Of all the ports I have visited in various parts of the world, I give tho palm to Wellington, New Zealand, for the most modern system of loading and discharging vessels, and handling cargo.” Surely a fine tribute to administrative capacity and efficiency. These results have been brought about during my association with the board, and I' trust with confidence that they will entitle me to a continuance of your vulued support. MAURCIE COHEN.
