MAYORAL ELECTION. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF GISBORNE. Ladies and gentlemen,— 111 respouse to tlio request or a large number of ratepayers, I beg. to offer you my services as Mayor, during the coming year. Mv views generally on Municipal matters are strongly progressive. The most important Question at present before the Council is that of sanitation, in which I take a very keen interest. I am earnestly desirous of initiating a Drainage System in the more congested parts of the Borough, which may be extended to embrace other portions as necessity arises. Tlio Water Supply must be pushed to a successful completion, and those streets not already reticulated must bo provided for as speedily as possible. There is no doubt that our Streets and Roads generally are ill a deplorable 'condition. Many are without metal at all, and in many more tbo metal is worn out. The whole question resolves itself into that of obtaining a cheaper and more regular supply of metal. I shall endeavor to develop the sources of metal we already' possess, ‘ and also to procure additional supplies. The number of Street Lamps should be considerably augmented. I am iu favor of the Municipal control of the Gas Works, and of bringing the Fire Boards Act into operation. I consider that the time has arrived when Gisborne should have a continuous Telephone Service, in order to bring it into line with centres of equal importance. I am strongly of the opinion that provision requires to be made for cases of Chronic Disease such as cannot be dealt with in our present Hospital, and also that the present accommodation at tho Old Men’s Home should be extended so as to include both sexes. If you elect mo I shall have a feat on the Harbour Board. I am in favor of the construction of an efficient Outer Harbor ; believing that better shipping facilities would materially advance tho welfare of the town and district. I endorse tho action of the Board in procuring the advice of eminent engineers,, and in referring the plans to the marine superintendents of the companies trading to the port. I shall use every endeavour to have the matter placed fairly and squarely before the ratepayers as early as possible. I am anxious that futhor Reserves should be secured for the people, and especially desire to obtain a Public Reserve up the Waimata River for tlio uso of boating parties. I heartily advocate that our Railway should bo pushed on without further delay. When the forests are tapped an” export timber trade will be developed, which will result in materially reducing freights on coal and other imports, thus reducing the cost of living in Gisborne. I have the utmost faith in. the future development of Gisborne, and should you honor mo by election itwill bo my constant endeavor to promote and advance its interests by every means in my power. My watchword will over be ‘ ‘Progress.” Yours faithfully, J. W. WILLIAMS.
