TO THE ELECTORS' OF THE BOROUGH OF GISBORNE, Ladies and gentlemen,— I am seeking your suffrages at the coining Harbor Board election, and before doing so I wish to place before you some of my views on questions appertaining to the Borough in connection with Harbor matters. I am a. Labor candidate., and though being of opinion that it is my duty at all times to consider the, worker, it must still further ,be to consider the Borough as/a whole, and not any one particular Section oj it. lam in favor of an outeCTiarboiy and believe that the time lias arrivecLfwlien some workable and profitable scheme should bo formulated and before the ratepayers for their approval. The river has had a fair trial Jver many years, and has proved t growing district 4Buch as Gisborne and to continue with it is merely to waste money. I am strongly of opinion wharfage charges are liijpraw revision, and there more equitable tariff between exports and are many glaring examule^where injustice* being done tg,s»tne people of Gisbmfie, one case being notably in that of four, which is now changed wharfage A tithe rate of 5s per ton. f ***•< I A scheme for lock in cm the Taruheru River would also receivJ my consideration, as I believe the mid flats in l that river are a source of daijger to the public health, and the evil feed remedying. ing. ’ I For some years it will be necessary to use the river even if the outer harbor is started immediacy, and I w'ould seek some solution to make the river entrance safe for navigation, which at present it undoubtedly is not. Improved facilities for handling and storing cargo are also need®!, and I am of opinion that the Kaitiiside of the river should he utilised /for dumping timber, rails, etc., instoajf of, as it done at present, stacking it qa the town side where it often lies for jpys, sadly hampering operations on tjre wharf. The question of tli# Board doing its own lightering, , wliioft would undoubtedly add to tW Bo aid’s revenue, would also receive my ea/nest consideration. I am of opinio® tlpt the Board should take charge of We goods sheds. At present the lightering and goods sheds are vested in a private company, and 1 would endeavor to bring about a more satisfactory state of affairs and one more profitable to the Board. Should you next Wednesday place mo among the leading four I will do my tit most to hring about the improvements that I hive enumerated above, and at the /able time will endeavor to work oul\fja>T the .benefit of the Borough as a “whole. Lacies 'and Gentlemen, the answer is with Yourselves, and to you I will leave it until Wednesday next. I remain, Yours faithfully, J. C. E. TURNER

PORT OF GISBORNE. HARBOR BOARD ELECTION T<o THOSE WHOM HARBOR DUES CONCERN. I ADIES AND GENTLEMEN.— I I have .been requested by some of our townspeopkl who contribute their quota of Harbor jbues, to accex>t nomination as a candidate for Election to the Gisborne Harbor Board. I may state what I am strongly in favor of an Qmt-er Harbor, being of opinion that River Harbor will never provide/proper accommodation' for ships of tils nor repay the vast anti outlay in dredging. in favor of construction floods Sheds and Wharf Accommodation, even if the Outer Harbor schjfme is relegated to the distant future/ I am also of opinion that the landing conditions for Fallen ge**** arriving m 01 leaving Gisborne mouju Jffe improvfd by providing a- CoveredfWay to the Tender, thus enabling' visijprs to debark or embark in comparativjs comfort . At the present time Gisborn® is not a compulsory Pilotage Port, ami I am stronglv in favor of including Air Harbor in the compulsory PilotagefList-. on account of the frequent-variation in river soundings and the risks# incurred by Masters of Vesselsi of lfeclium or deep draught having to! find#their own anchorage in the bay. i PilJtage Fees would considerably augment the Harboi Board’s revenue, thus lenflemig possible reduction of our laAd/ig charges Should you honor me By election as your Representative, you may rest assured that I will do everything an my power to increase the facilities and coni sequent the Port of yGjsl borne at a reasonable cost. / I am, r (t Ladies and Gentlemen, Yours faithfully.
