AUCKLAND HARBOUR BOARD ELECTION.
ELECTORS: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— 1 beg to offer myself ae a Candi-” date for a seat on the Harbour Board. I considei that a critical time has now arisen, and that some new members are required to exercise caution, with prudence, in the management of the affairs of this port. Already numerous shipowners are transferring the poit of registry from Auckland to Sydney, through the better facilities and less restrictions than are being imposed on New Zealand shipowners. If the affairs of the shipping are not dealt with in a businesslike way, it is only a matter of a little time when there will be no ships registered in New Zealand, and no doubt a heavy increase in wharfage dues on goods. 1 shall always endeavour to forward the interests of the port. I am not personally asking for votes — if you think I am worthy of your support, 1 shall be glad if you will exercise same at the enduing election. I ant an independent candidate. ami not connected with any party. Yours truly,
J. J. CRAIG.
