TO THIO BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF GISBORNE. T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— In response to the request of a large number of Ratepayers, I beg to offer you my .services as Mayor during the coming year. • My views generally on Municipal matters are strongly Progressive. Tlie most important question at present before the Council is that of Sanitation, iiv which I take a very keen interest. I am earnestly desirous of initiating, a Drainage system in the more congested parts of the Borough, which may be- extended to embrace other portions as necessity arises. The Water Supply must be pushed to a successful completion,, and tliose streets not already reticulated must be provided for as, speedily as possible. Tliere is no doubt that our streets and roads generally are in a deplorable condition. Many are without metal at all, and in many more the metal is worn out. The whole question resolves itself into that of obtaining a cheaper and more regular supply of metal. I shall en-, deavor to develop the sources of metal we already possess, and also to procure additional supplies. The number of street lamps should be considerably augmented. I am in favor of the Municipal control of the Gasworks, and of bringing the Fire. Boards' Act' into operation. I consider that ,the time lias arrived when Gisborne should have a continuous telephone service, in order to bring it in line with centres of equal importance. I am strongly of the opinion that provision requires to be made for cases of clironic das-ease, such as cannot be dealt with in our present Hospital, and also that the present accommodation at the Old Men's Home should be extended, so as to include both sexes. If yon elect me, I shall have a seat onthe Harbor Board. I am in favor of the construction of an efficient Outer Harbor, believing that better t shipping facilities would materially advance the welfare of the town and district. I endorse the action of the Board in procuring the advice of eminent engineers, and in referring tlie plans to the marine superintendents of the companies trading to the port. I shall use every endeavor to have the matter placed fairly and squarely before the Ratepayers as early as possible. I am. anxious that -further reserves should be secured fpr the people, and especially desire to obtain a Public Reserve up the Waimata river for the use of boating parties. ■ • I heartily advocate that our Railway should be puslied on without further delay. When the forests are tapped an export timber trade will be developed, which will result in materially reducing freights on coal and other imports, thus reducing the cost of living in Gisborne. I have the utmost faith in the future development of Gisborne, and should you honor me by election, it'will be my constant endeavor to promote and advance its interests by eveiy means in my power. My watchword will ever be "Progress.'* Yours Xaitlifully, J. W. WILLIAMS.
