The residents of the far south are anxious to see an important loading scheme carried out whereby Okuru could be linked to Jackson Bay as a permanent port, and have been in touch with Mr O’Brien, M.P., on the matter. A deputation to the Government has been suggested, and it is probable it will be organised. Mr O’Brien has suggested that the local body and Progress League should be associated in the deputation to make it as influential as possible. The roading scheme is one which was recommended by the Commissioner of Lands (Mr Morpeth) some time ago, and its adoption would be of great value in the speedier developent of the south territory.
