— By Telegraph — Copyright).
Napier, Tuesday. Plans for the development of a deep-sea harbour at Napier were advanced a stage yesterday, when the Harbour Board gave its approval to the draft of a bill to he submitted to Parliament sanctioning raising £335,000 for the exeeution of a scheme approved some months ago. The scheme was the outcome of investigation last year by Mr. Furkert and Mr. Holderness, engineer to the Auckland Harbour Board, who were appointed to prepare a report as to the best course to be pursued for meeting the needs of the port of Napier in consequence of the raising of the ocean bed and the damage caused by the earthquake in 1931. The engineers were in complete agreement in the recommendation that the board should, go ahead immediately with the scheme for the development of the breakwater at a cost of approximately £400,000. Details oi the proposal have since been carefully worked out, providing for the expenditure of the total sum to cover a period of a few years.
