It is understood the residents of Kancri, Woodstock and Rimu, are protesting against the practice of using set nets for the taking of whitebait in tlie Hokitika river. The complaint of these up-river residents is that under present conditions the trenches for the set nets extend practically across the river, and the effect is that fish are not allowed to pass up-stream. As set nets are a privilege only in the Hokitika river, the practice it is considered should be stopped..

The Greymouth Harbour Board will at an early date be faced with expenditure estimated at approximately £4OOO for the replacement of the boilers at the hydraulic power station connected with the wharf cranes and the capstans. As a result of a recent inspection, both •of tlie boilers were given only a short span of further scivice, probably not more than twelve months. One of the boilers has certainly reached the retiring age, as it was installed forty-throe years ago. The other was installed when the plant was. duplicated in 1908. The engine and boiler then cost nearly £2500, and the cost of boilers has increased considerably since 1908. . Tlie Railway Donartnieiit operates tlie hydraulic plant, but it is owned and maintained ijy the Greymouth Harbour Board.
