Taranaki Harbor.
THE HAWERA PETITION. (Telegram from our Correspondent.) Wellington, Wednesday Night. The Select Committee of the Upper House will resume its inquiry into the petition of Hawera settlers against the Taranaki Harbor expenditure, so soon as the Taranaki witnesses telegraphed for shall arrive here. The chairman and the secretary of the Harbor Board arc both on their way to Wellington, I am told ; and the engineer to the Board is also sent for. If the subject of Taranaki harbor, and the tax which the Board would impose on lands, can be brought before cither House, there is a strong belief that the whole scheme would be quashed as illadvised and wasteful. Your district has thus a prospect of being relieved of the incubus which the Hawera petition sets forth so pertinently.
