A Contradiction.
TO THE SUITOR Off THE SIANAWATD HERALD. Sir,—ln your leader of last evening, referring to the troubles of this port you mention that “ it is rumoured that thes.s. Waverley had been ordered not to make the trip to Foxton with coal owing to the state of the river. How such a rumour got abroad I cannot imagine, as all arrangements had been made for the steamer to C me in and discharge her cargo. There was no thought of diverting her. Such a rumour getting abroad is calculated to do a considerable amount of harm to the port. —I am, etc., G. W. Morgan.
[We shall take Mr Morgan’s explanation re Waverley as being correct, and we were evidently misinformed. As to the assertion that such rumours are calculated to do a considerable amount of harm to the port, we do not fully agree with Mr Morgan. We hold a different opinion. Considering our port as it is at present the contention is feasibly correct, but we are certain that if requirements are needed we will have 'to make known our grievances, and not be content to witness boat after boat stuck in the river without raising an outcry to have the channel deepened. However, we were wrongly informed, and we acknowledge the fact. —Ed. M.H.] _____
