(From our own Correspondent.) This day,
Proposed Harbour Board
In the Provincial Council, Mr. Smith introduced a Bill to constitute a Harbour Board. The Superintendqpt bitterly opposed its introduction, deprecating the control of the harbour being taken from the Coucil. The Bill, however, was read a first time. The Telegraph supports the Bill, and says a glance at the glaringly happy-go-lucky slipshod method of bungJing through anyhow all point to the need of reform in harbour administration. It accounts for the apathy of the mercantile community in the matter to the fact, that it has not been increased from outside for fifteen years, and consequently is blind to the defects of the present system. The article points to waste and mismanagement to the loss of the new moorings, only lately imported at a cost of £700, and laughs at the idea of the Council managing anything at ah, and refers to the purely personal government Mr. Ormond has established.
