BANANAS NEARLY BAD
ANOTHER INSPECTION MADE Another inspection of the 400 cases of Norfolk Island bananas landed by the Maui Pomare last week, and rejected by the merchants to whom they were consigned, and which are still in the sheds at the King’s Wharf, was made by Dr. T. J. Hughes, medical officer of health, and Mr. W. R. Golden, traffic manager to the Auckland Harbour Board, this morning. It was found that the fruit was on the verge of putrefaction and in a most decomposed condition. Fruit flies were being attracted, and it is considered that the cargo is likely to affect other cargoes of fruit in the shed. Air. Golden said that some action would have to be taken almost immediately. He thought that any action taken would be by the health authorities, and the Harbour Board would be instructed To take over the fruit in its refuse launch to dump it into the harbour. It was not possible to ascertain yet which party would be charged with the expense entailed.
