IN offering myself as a Candidate for Membership on the Power Board, 1 will use my utmost endeavors to secure the Waikaremonna scheme for Gisborne, as I am satisfied that Waikaremonna can be procured, if onlv the Electors remain firm. The only obstacle that was formerly preventing the District from getting power from Waikaremoann was the, Waikohu Company, through Clause 58, absolutely giving them a monopoly, but this is now removed, thanks to the. Government. Mv attitude will he to provide this District with cheap hydro-electric power, and if Waikaremonna is for any unforeseen reason not available. T shall certainly go for the next best scheme, irrespective of the locality. In conclusion, I wish to state that I have no axe to grind, and will work solely in the interest of the District, as I have endeavored to do in the past. I GEORGE WILDISH. 093 Mayor.
