HARBOR BOARD.
To (ht Editor. Snt,~After reading the various newspaper reports and leaders re Mr Simpson, Engineer to the Harbor Board, the following questions have suggested themselves to me:— First: Is there not a vein of animus existing somewhere? Second: Bid the Harbor Board not select Mr Simpson in preference to other gentlemen, after examining the certificates of the same ? Third: Is it reasonable to ask such a duly qualified man to accept and carry out the ideas of some other professional man, who, it may be, has not had such opportunity of so thoroughly studying local requirements as has Mr Simpson ? Fourth: Does the General or Provincial Governments or our Corporation so a,ct with its engineer Y Fifth: Does the Harbor Board look upon Mr Simpson in the light of a servant simply, and not as an adviser ? I humbly think that Mr Simpson has shown considerable aptitude for his profession, i.e., judging from his reports. Give him fair play and no favor.—l am, &c, Jusncß. Dunedin, August 18.
