THE LAUNCH WHARF.

(to thb editor.) Sir, —I noticed ’n your issue of November 16th a letter re above signed “Pro Bono Publico,” and on December 7th another letter re the eame. As regards the former I think he is right te agitate for launch wharves, but I think he hardly unders ands the requirements that are raslly neoserary. I will deal with ths issue of the 7th. Now,

Sir, '* Karim te Ko rare, Kahore ho Mahi me itionsith’ fact that we all use*the launches and must all know the prevent inoo veniencea, which will have to be overcome. What surprises me is that the incoa veniences he has to contend with are at ths Kawhia wharf. lam sure if he wore to ask those who work the launches where the in-oonvenjgnc-s exist they would certainly not K Kawhia wharf, where those who “he m«j, wake up, and work ” vi ■ al to make the launch for tbasu by erecting a •nd, you have missed y I fe*4 certain were toal incogyeniencee are you wouldk settlors au ' launch owners sav at'teLr various landing places around the hrrbour, where we want jetties forths launches ahd sheds for goods—sheds to put our|goods in to protect them from the weather, and jetties to fasten launch®* to, and also to enable ng to get on off without the present risk of stepping pn a Wik which may give way, or slipping ourflelvee fall into the tide, or being ferried in a boat which may upset, or to aave the utr< dignified position of the ladies in being carried shoulder high on someone's back. At Kawhia passengers can get on and off and goods loaded or unloaded, so leave well alone at present and let us have better facilities (wharyes and sheds) round the harbour, ard the greatest inconveniences the present will ceasejto exist. 1 sincerely hope the above suggestions will not take long to enter some people’s heads,—Yours, etc-, * , • X.Y.Z.
