FERRY TO CUT RIBBON
DEVONPORT CELEBRATION OPENING OF NEW WHARF Devonport is anxious that the opening of the new wharf shall be suitably marked as one of the outstanding events in the borough's development. Some time ago a committee representing the borough council, the Waitemata Chamber of Commerce and tha North Shore Expansion League was set up to organise a function that would be in keeping with the occasion. It was suggested that at the same time public attention might be directed to the fact that Devonport had been self-governing since 1867 and that the diamond jubillee of the grant of selfgovernment might be adequately celebrated. At the meeting of the Devonport Borough Council last evening the Mayor (Mr. E. Aldridge), deputy - Mayor (Mr. J. Hislop) and Councillors Walsh and Ellisdon were deputed to confer with the other bodies and th» Harbour Board on the proposal. It was suggested that an "opening ceremony” might be arranged for tha afternoon of Saturday, July 7, and that a special ferry steamer should cut a ribbon stretched across from tee to tee on the new wharf and that representative public men be invited to be present.
