DOCK CONSTRUCTION PHOPOSALS. (Per Press Association.) Wellington, out. 25. Thire was a discussion at the Harbour IWitl on tha d o ck ijuesuon. iiefore the work can be proceeded with., a site must tie dredged, but other urgvnt worka are pressing, and tiie board , decided to go cn with these, 'libera are two parties o» the board—one which clamours for a dock at any price; another wiiich considers it folly to smk a large sum of money in it in view) of the experiences of other parts of the colony. The former carried its point a year or two ago, and yesterday it claimed that postponement of the dredge ing was an ingenuous dodge to iurtiler delay prosecution of the work, a statement which was applauded by some of the opponents of it. Dredging at the wharves will take till next August, and fcho supporters of tlie dock sought to have another drudge provided, to which it was o!»jociud that there was m t enough work to warrant extra expenses. It was ultimately decided to see if another dreidgo could be temporarily hired.
