TIMARU HARBOR BILL.
SECOND EDITION
In the House of Representatives yesterday, Mr Turnbull moved the second reading of the Timaru Harbor Board Endowment Bill. Mr Hall opposed it. Tbe policy pursued for some time had been to refuse making enormous grants of land in the name of endowments, this was an attempt to infringe that policy. The proposed endowment consisted of land estates of 100,000 acres, worth at least £2 per acre. If it was a work of colonial importance the course to follow was to bring it up in the form of a vote. Moreover, the district appeared to have resources, within itself snfficient to do the work proposed. Mr Wakefield pointed out that the Bill proposed to give borrowing powers which were absolutely required, and to which he understood there were no objections. He suggested that the Bill be read, and in Committee the endowment clause could bo struck out if it were thought advisable. Mr Hall assented to the proposal of the previous speaker, and the second reading was carried.
