LIFE SAVING APPLIANCES.
(To the Editor.) Sir—The Harbour Board at almost every meeting learns that some life line attached to a buoy has been stolen. In six months five lines have been taken away. The Board feels that tlie person doing this does not realize what serious consequences may follow this action—it is not merely the theft of a piece of rope <if perhaps little commercial value, hut it is (lie removal of a means of saving life in the event of an accident.
I would therefore appeal, through your columns, in the first place, to whoever is doing this thoughtless action, to consider the possible consequences and stop it, and also, to anyone who may at any time see the lifebuoys and lines being interfered with, to report to any member of the Board on its stall’, in order that steps may he taken, to check it. Yours, etc., GEO. A. WOOD. Chairman Harbour Board. Hokitika, February Gth. 1928.
