POLICE CALLED IN. The meeting of the Opunake Harbour Board on Friday ended in rather a dramatic and abrupt manner (says tho local Times). Usually the meetings are prosaic affairs but when the “motions pursuant to notice" stage was reached on Friday a lively scene ensued, ending in the chairman asking Afr A. AC Moore to Avithdraw certain rein:! rlcs or leave the meeting. All' AToore, in bringing forward a motion, made some scathing personal remarks regading the chairman and members, the burden of his complaint being that members were neglecting (heir duties and leaving too much to llie engineer. At the end of the altercation, Air AToora refused to leave the room, and the meeting was adjourned'until Saturday afternoon. When the members took their seats on Saturday afternoon, the chairman asked Air Moore to Avith - draw the words “damned crawlers” but Ibis Air Aloore refused to do. The chairman then called on Constable (Houston to remove him from (ho moot ins?;. This closed the incident, and tlie meeting proceeded.
The Times understands that Air Aloore will not he allowed to speak or vote at meetings during the present hoard’s term of office until ho apologises.
