ELECTION NOTICES. BOROUGH COUNCIL ELECTION. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF GISBORNE. T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,- _ In submitting myself as a Gambade for the Borough. Council I feel it my duty to make known the reasons which have led to my decision, also I take this .opportunity of stating my views. My reasons arenas follows: 1. The >pakt year's work has been marked by. a series, of obstructive policies, inimical to progress, and the better government of this town. 2. Tlie ’ popular rejection by referendum of those necessary schemes .'which generally .accompany progressive civilisation, indicates a public demand for administrative reconstruction in the local government qf this town. 3. Any lack in election a 1 contest must be regarded as a menace, in so far that it implies a. further guarantee of obstructive administration, and thereby a ba-r to the progress we so earnestly desire. My policy should I be honored by election" is as follows: 1. I heartily support drainage, the scheme mu#, in its .general plan, be capable of aii easy extension, and thus meet the requirements of increasing population and bousing accommodation granting, as-far as possible in its early construction “equal benefits to all and special privileges to none,” to be submitted to scientific authority, and public approval; before any pledges of construction are undertaken or advanced. 2. I heartily support the betterment of our roads,: to be undertaken by loan, the initial! expenditure of which must bo on permanent work, and include our main arterial roads, as well as embrace the principal secondary, streets, permitting of ;t substantial- annual revenue (thus w ith the advent of cheap metal) to further advance tho permanent formation of other roads, not considered at tiie present time of such primary importance. In this connection I must heartily endorse the Patutahi tramway scheme as a means to this end. 3. I heartily support any reasonable scheme for the better lighting of our main town [and suburban roads, preferably by the municipilisatiou of the gas wort’s, -should such bo consistent with our bert economic interests. 4. I heartily support any endeavor to amicably government which is essential to progress, and will use niy best efforts to ensure rate pave is a true recompense for expenditure, consistent with the economic interests of the individual.—pours faithfully. 2 JAMES C.
