Parent, August 0", IS7S, TO THE KIHTOR OK THE EVENING MAIL. lint, -Will you kin 'ly favor me with a -mall space in your paper to have a qniot ,'riiwl respecting the way that sailing, .■essels are served in Oamaru. It is milling new for a small craft to come to )aiiiani and lay from 10 to 12 days doing nothing when the cargo isall ready in the stores waiting for them. Masters of jraft are told to go to the Harbor Board uid make their complaint to them. They already done so, and got no satisfaction. [ now appeal to thu public. through your paper. A piece, of gross injustice was done this day with puhlie property. The Samson came, in, and, like all the rest of the craft, wanted toget away to go to Kakanui. Not satisfied •villi the two cranes on the wharf, they loaded several boats on the opposite side,, thus completely stopping all other craft, from the use of the boats. Mr. Editor, it looks very much as if the Union Company was going to monopolise _jvll tho trade of this, place. Oainaru, you may want the sailing craft yet as of\ , '/ > <ss: merchants of Oamaru, you may tre '', jfl* matter lightly and say that it is onlO" Vsll growling, but a day will come when yo\i will want the craft you now slight.— I am, &-c, Stephen Tai , Oamaru, August 8.
