Napier Harbor.
THE PREMIER INTERVIEWED,
£1 FOR £1 SUBSIDY. [By Telegraph—Press Association.] Napier, last night. . A deputation from the Napier Harbor Board waited on the Premier at the Masonic hotel this afternoon, with reference to a Government vote in aid of the protection beach at the Western Spit." Mr Seddon explained that the vote was a moiety one, which meant that the Government would grant £1 for every £1 expended by the Harbor Board. When he arrived in Wellington, Mr Seddon said, a Cabinet meeting would be held, and the 1115,000 promised by Government would be passed, but the Audit Department might step in and say they could only authorise it on a basis of £1 for £1 expended. Mr F. W. Williams, Chairman of tho Harbor Board, pointed out'that the money had been spent in anticipation of a Government grant, to which Mr Seddon replied that unless the Audit Department objected,' the Board would receive their moiety subsidy on all money expended since the 31st March last.''
