rpHEATRE T> OY A L THE STEWARTS ARE COMING AND WILL OPEN ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5. 56S_ NAPIER HARBOR BOARD. TO THE RATEPAYERS OF THE BOROUGH OF NAPIER. X ABIES AND GENTLEMEN.— As you I A will shortly be called upon to elect Three Members for the new Harbor Board, I beg to olfer myself as a candidate for election. During my long residence in Napier I have always taken the deepest interest in all matters affecting the prosperity of the Port. When a proposition to erect a Breakwater was made to the present Board, I voted for it, and should the opportunity offer would again do so, thinking as I do that the future of Napier depends upon good accommodation for shipping being found such as will enable vessels to load and discharge their cargoes in safety alongside of some solid permanent work, Should you do me the honor of returning me, I shall endeavor to the best of my ability to further the interests of the Port, and thereby conduce to the general prosperity of the Town. I remain, Yours obediently, i JOHN ALEXANDER SMITH. Napier, January 27, 1879. 571 ! NAPIER HARBOR BOARD. TO THE RATEPAYERS OF NAPIER. I BEG to offer myself as a Candidate at the forthcoming Election. , My firm belief is, that unless we succeed in getting a Breakwater, Napier will retrograde in the next five years, and become a second rate village. When the Government sanctioned the frittering away of £70,000 in harbor improvements (so called), but which have proved quite abortive, to my personal knowledge the money (estimated at a quarter of a million) was at their service in London, had they gone in for the larger scheme, lam, Your obedient servant, JNO.
