HARBOR BOARD MISMANAGEMENT.
THE HABORMAHTER AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD GO A-FISHING. IN THE MEANTIME A BOAT IS . NEARLY LOST. GENERAL INDIGNATION.
As showing how llio affairs of the Harbor Board are mismanaged,, it is our painful duty (o record that this morning a punt in the harbor got adrift, and lay tossing on the waves. She headed for the shore at last, and some courageous fellows managed to secure h ( 'r. Finally she was brought up alongside ,the Breakwater, and while all this was going on, no Titan was in sight, and there was a general enquiry as to her whereabouts. Several people suggested that she had been chartered by someone urgently desiring to leave Timaru. but the fact was at last revealed, that certain members of the Harbor Board got her away on <i fishing excursion ! Pretty doings 1 The Harbor Master, in the steam tug, away dancing attendance on one or two idle gentlemen, and in the meantime vessels left to the mercy of the winds and waves! This will never do. We must have an indignation meeting about it.
