Nash, M’s.P. It was explained that to enable a river board to operate it is necessary to give it control over n, fairly large area of land on .tidal waters now controlled by the Harbour Board.
Mr Linklater, chairman of the Fox ton Harbour Board, assured the Minister that there is no objection from that body.
