THE BUSINESSMAN’S TICKETADVANCE MASTERTON’S INTERESTS. SUPPORT A YOUNG MAN with past Municipal Record of for the Good of Your Town. Vote for the Popular Candidate— ALFRED RIPPON. WELLINGTON HARBOUR BOARD. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE MASTERTON DISTRICT— J HAVE much pleasure in offering my services to the Electors of the Masterton District for a seat on the Wellington Harbour Board. My main object would be to make the Port of Wellington one of the chief centres in the North Island for the export of Dairy Produce, and to cut out the small ports where steamers have to travel up and down the coast, picking up minimum quantities of butter and cheese, whiih adds materially to the cost of shipping. Considerable savings could be effected by centralising as much shipping as possible from the port of Wellington, which would mean a saving in levies to all the Dairy Factories in the Wellington Provincial District. My motto is Progress with Economy, and I beg to solicit your support at the election which takes place on Wednesday, the 27th inst. Yours faithfully, DAVID CASELBERG. WELLINGTON HARBOUR BOARD ELECTION. rpilE PUBLIC ARE INVITED to attend a Meeting in the Social Hall, Municipal Buildings, on TUESDAY EVENING, 26th inst., at 7.45, when the undersigned will speak on Harbour Board matters of interest to the whole community. * T. R. BARBER. T. MOSS. J AM OFFERING MYSELF for reelection to the Wellington Harbour Board, of which I have been a member for the past four years. I am a member of the Special Committee on Shipping Freights ami Charges, which in February, 1925, issued a report dealing with the injustice of the flat rate, the wasteful policy of overseas ships calling at numerous ports and roadsteads around the coast, and the consequent irregular shipments; and advocating concentration at main ports. This report was adopted by the Harbour Board together with recommendations for big reductions of freight charges, now amounting to £35,000 —the first remissions made in the history of the Board. The present policy of the Harbour Board is to provide shipping with the most midorn and efficient facilities for handling ships and cargo at the cheapest possible cost for all services. As a result, its charges to-day are 20 per cent, cheaper than those of eDy port in New Zealand. I have served faithfully the best in-, forests of the district, both commercial and producing, and, if re-elected, will continue to do jhe same to the best of my ability. THOMAS ROBERT BARBER. WELLINGTON HARBOUR BOARD. TO THE ELECTORS OF EKETAHUNA AND DISTRICT. Ladies and Gentlemen— I have now had six years’ service as your representative on the Wellington Harbour Board, and I trust that my record has been such as to secure a renewal of your confidence at the forthcoming election, in which I am again a candidate. During my term of office prominent Board work has included:— I.—Reorganisation of staff, which has resulted in increased efficiency and economy. 2 - —Erection of two- up-to-date sheds with all labour-saving appliances. 3.—Reduction of £20,000 in Charges (two years ago; the first? since the inception of the Board); a further reduction of £12,000 this year; and, substantia! reserves carried forward. ’ The primary producers provide the whole of the exports and consequently I have every confidence in asking that their present direct representation of two members be retained. Further I seek your suffrage as the only candidate in the northern end of the district. If you arc interested in maintaining the Wellington Port as the best and cheapest in New Zealand you cannot do better than allow those who have helped to achieve this result to still further work in your interest with care, efficiency and economy. You-rs faithfully, THOS. MOSS. Newman, April 22, 1927.
