WANGANUI HARBOUR
GRADUAL DISAPPEARANCE OF
BAR
Press Association,
WANGANUI, January 30.
An event of some importance in the history of Wanganui was tho arrival to-day of the Union Steam Ship Company’s Kittawa, of 1246 tons, the largest steamer which has yet entered the port. The steamer arrived here with half a cargo of coal from New Plymouth, and drew about eleven feet. At spring tide the steamer could have negotiated tho river channel drawing a couple of feet more.
The excellent condition of the river is due to the works being carried out by the Harbour Board. There is now a depth of twenty-five feet at the place where tho bar.with a depth of eleven feet was a few years ago. The Government steamer Tutanekai is also a visitor to the port.
