Referring to the Harbor Works just completed, I may say that they have turned out exactly as I expected. </ It: cannot .'bej4sn&<&i that a considerable improvement has.ijesj^tg^; therefrom. The access to our piirtosiaUvaW much easier now than before tbe'^prks commenced, but I regard them ofrftf? a'B an improvement which is not at all complete. Within the last year I have see'njjbfae works at Oamaru, and shall, I hope, yetjsee similar works here. The success thai;' has been achieved there is, I believe, quite within our reaoh, and we mußt, if we expect the trade of our port to increase, Bee that no opportunity ia lost of securing, by permanent works, such an improvement as the steady progress of this district shows to be absolutely necessary. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, 636 F. BUTTON. TO THE RATEPAYERS OF THE BOROUGH OF NAPIER; f^i ENTLEMEN,— At the request of, a great \JC number of ratepayers, I beg to offer myself as a candidate for a seat at the Napier Harbor Board. Should you do me the honor of returning me, I shall dp my best in supporting any practicable scheme that may be brought forward for making a good and proper Breakwater, as I consider the present' works almost useless, and quite inadequate for our requirements now, much less: for an increase of shipping accommodation, which every well-wisher of Napier so muolx desires to see. Aa a well-known resident of this town, and a frequent importer of goods, I have a direct and lively interest in seeing our port attain a position of commercial importance. I am, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, 648 HENRY WILLIAMS. NAPIER HARBOR BOARD. TO THE RATEPAYERS OF THE BOROUGH OF NAPIER. T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN.— As you i I j will shortly be called upon to elect Three Members for the new Harbor Board, I beg to offer myßelf 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 bo, 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 Borne 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, 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 ib, that unless we succeed in getting a Breakwater, Napier will retro grade 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, ; I am, Your obedient servant, JNO. STUART. Port Napier, 23th January, 1879. 573 NAPIER HARBOR BOARD. TO THE RATEPAYERS OF NAPIER. /~] ENTLEMEN,— I beg to offer myself as \X a Candidate for a seat in the new Habor Board. I have been a member of the present Board since its formation, and when the important question of harbor improvements was before the Board, I was in favor of the carrying out of a permanent breakwater. I still hold that unless we have a good harbor capable of accommodating vessels of any tonnage, so that our imports and exportß may be carried on Cheaply and conveniently, we shall be laboring under many disadvantages in competing with other Sew Zealand ports. If elected, I shall give my attention and support to any feasible measma for the carrying out of a breakwater, believing that the ultimate success and prosperity of Hawke's Bay greatly depends on a good harbor. I am, youra respectfully, 633 H. C. ROBJOHNS. TO THE RATEPAYERS OF THE BOROUGH OF NAPIER. f^\ ENTLEMEN,— I beg to offer myself as VX a candidate for a Beat at the new. Harbor Boar<i. Ab you are aware, I have been a member of that body since its formation, and have given my best attention to the dutiea of the position. Having interested myßelf for so long in the improvement of the port, I am desirous of seeing to its termination a work with the initiation of which I was connected. Very much has been said and written about the apparent mistake that has been made in selecting out of two schemes the Bmaller one. 1 was an advocate from the first for a breakwater, but finding that the Government would not sanction the borrowing of the neceßsary funds, I gave my support to the scheme that was adopted on the principle that "half a loaf is better than no bread." j I am, Gentlemen, > Your obedient servant, A.
