HARBOR ELEGTION. ELECTORS OF COOK AND WAIAPU COUNTIES. Ladies and gentlemen,—. 1 lmvo much ploasuro in onoring my services for tho vuenut soat on the Gisborne Harbor Board. I have a strong belief in the futuro of tho East Coast and its immonso possibilities. . ... I have noted with satisfaction the expansion of our trade and tho increase of our products, and few things would give mo greater ploasuro.than seeing that rapid expansion continued even at a greater rate than hitherto. To aid this development, our shipping facilities must be improved and more frequent communication with outside parts must bo sought. As a member of tho Board for many years, my views on harbor matters generally no doubt are well known to you. Suffico it to say now that it elected I shall see that Mr. Marchant’s outer harbor scheme with all available information relating thereto is placed before the ratepayers at as early a date as possible. Yours faithfully, JOHN TOWNLEY. TO THE RATEPAYERS OF THE COOK AND WAIAPU HARBOR DISTRICT. J ADI ES AND .GENTLEMEN, — JLi As previously announced, lam a 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 in view, consider that a scheme based on tho best engineering advice possible should be placed befor the ratepayers at the earliest opportunity. I am also of opinion that the expenditure on the river should bo curtailed as far as is compatible with keeping tho channel open to its present depth, and maintaining tho best shipping facilities possible, and consider this can be well dono without the strikng of a rate. I would strongly oppose any unnecessary expenditure ill blasting in tho 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 facaiities for handling our produce and merchandise at the port, or conducive to the comfort of the travelling public, will meet with my hearty co-operation. I remain, Yours faithfully, T. HOLDEN. FOOTBALL AND HOCKEY. Victoria Domain. Thursday next, May 21, lm FOOTBALL. ALHAMBRA v. CITY at... 1.40 p.m. GISBORNE v. STAR, at... 3 p.m.... HOCKEY. TE RAU v.
