gpo THE BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF GISBORNE. Ladies and Gentlemen, — I do not approve of newspaper addresses as the means of communication from a candidate to his constituents, and I have, therefore, delayed thus addressing you in the hope that the Candidates would see fit to invite the Burgesses to meet them in public, when one can say more in ten minutes than he can write in half-an-hour, but I am informed that both halls are taken, and I regret it, for I think it is only your due that you should be fully informed as to the opinions and intentions of persons who propose to represent you in any capacity; and that you should be in a position to publicly obtain an expression of the views of a candidate ; answers to any questions you may please to ask; and any pledges you may require as to the future action pf a Candidate, if elected. I was informed that it was intended to requisition the Mayor to call a public meeting for this purpose, therefore, I took no steps on my own account. But I now do myself the honor, so far as I can forecast your probable quesitions, to state that I have no purpose of any kind, whatsoever, to serve in my present capacity, save in responding to the call of my friends, and with a desire to assist in those duties which you are entitled to require at the hands of each Borough Councillor. In my opinion your interests wo,uld be much better served if the Borough were divided into Wards, so that each Councillor might devote himself specially to the advocacy of the interests of that Ward which elected him. The Harbor seems to me to be a subject of very grave importance, to which it is impossible to do justice in a newspaper address., Let me say, however, that I am strongly in favor of such a work as would constitute a Harbor of Refuge for the East Coast, which work ought to be largely assisted by Government, for which an endowment of land has been already offered by the Natives, and, I think, should be accepted. By devoting the dues payable for a certain number of years, I believe this grand structure which would so greatly enhance the prosperity of the district, might be attained without necessitating any perceptible difference in our rating. Works of all kinds over a certain amount, ought, 1 think, to be let by public tender, and given to the lowest tenderer who offers responsible sureties. The Wharf and Foreshore are subjects which seem to me to require very careful attention, and on which I should be glad to ascertain the views and wishes of a majority of the Burgesses.
