HARBOUR BOARD ELECTION To the Electors, — I offer myself as a candidate for elpction to a seat on the Nelson Harbour Board It is obvious that no major schemes for the development of the Port can be carried out during the War and. for the time being, the activities of the Board j must be restricted to the management , of the business of the Port and the • proper maintenance of the Board's I assets. If I am honoured by your confidence .
