The report called for by the chairman of the Otago Harbour Board (Mr Loudon) as to the present condition of the whole of the harbour will, it is understood, bo ready very shortly. ; It should be of material value, as showing what has happened since dredging ope-, rations 'were stopped in May of 1916. The opinion (says the "Otago Dally Times") seems to be held in certain quarters that a considerable amount of silting has taken place, but so far aa we can gather the report is likely to show that the depths have been well maintained, one important factor in this satisfactory result being tho effects of tho souith endowment wall, which,, it is stated, has practically prevented a largo quantity of silt coming into the steamers’ basin and tho Victoria Channel.
