At a recent meeting of the Timaru Harbour Board it was decided to lay up dredge 350 until the. end of the year, as recent soundings have shown that there is no shoaling, and that there is 30ft. of water at low tide. The chairman (Mr F. J. Rolleston) said that, ?inco 1907 the board had spent £82,000 on dredging, exclusive of (he capital cost of the dredge, which was £33,000. Since the construction of the eastern mole, nnd tho recent addition to it of 430 ft, there had not been the same necessity for dredging, and a large amount would be saved in the future thereby.

She left here some time ago with a small lifting for Am'erica, and it was at first understood that she would come back from San Francisco with case oil tor Auckland.
