JA& AEMSTRONG & 60 HARDY STREET. . ] NELSON HARBOUR BOARD ELECTION. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE CITY ," OF NELSON. j LADIES AND GENTLEMEN— \ I have the honour to inform you that lam a Candidate for a seat ou i ' the Nelson Harbour Board at the election ( to be held on the 20th inst , and solicit ] yoar vote and interest. I seek your sup- ( Sort as a perfectly independent candidate ; one who is not already serving on , any Board, Institution, Council, or other looal body ; one who would conserve your best interest, and who would administer the business of the Board, if elected, without fear or favour. Being amongst tie largest ratepayers and city property { owner 8, my best interests are identical with yoars. The occasion of the Harbour Board election is of the utmost importance in the history of the city and province, for . qn the careful selection of tne first Harbour Board by the ratepayers depends t o some extent the future prosperity or the fnture embarrassment of the residents. It is therefore the duty i f all who have the right, to record their vote 3, aud in doing so to choose men whose proved busiuess capacity and personal interest in the progress of the district give some guarantee of fitness for the position they desire lo fli). I am in favour of pushing on onr harr bour work immediately, and; would point out that there iB no longer any opportunity of making a selection between various schemes of harbour improvement without Ooe postponement consequent on re-survey [and consent of Parliament. The Government, as you are aware, have approved of Mr Leslie Reynolds' scheme of cutting a channel in the Boulder Bank some distance west uf the Lighthouse, and the ratepayers must either sanction tlie work on the basis of Mr Reynolds' planß or "have permanent harbour improvement indefinitely shelved. In. view, therefore, of the disastrous rea-alte that have followed on differences of opinions and rivalry of schemes of public (vorks elsewhere, I am in favour of accepting the decision of the Government, resuming, as a business man, that the • moat pareful scrutiny has been made of Mr Reynolds' pjans before their final adoption, and alao assuming that Mr Reynolds stakes hia professional reputation on the practicability of his proposals. It is an important principle that the Harbour Board ia not to be constituted of firofessional civil engineers, and hence it s no part of the functions of the members to dictate or vary professional details with wnioh they cannot possibly be conversant. The Harbour Board is to be an administrative body of business men, looking after the affairs and finances of the harbour, and in the natural course of events technical matters must be left to . trained *ndjiaalified engineers well paid to gire the Board the benefit of their experience and advice. ■ "frnsting that the foregoing summary of my views on harbour improvement meet with your approval, and' that you will gira n*"" 1 your vote and interest qn Wednesday next, 1 ! I hare the honour to be, ' Your obedient servant, AUSOT JJEKBEKT BIBLEY
