THE HARBOR BILL
A RADICAL CHANGE. The Harbor Amendment Bill now before the House is at great variance with the present law, and with the chief points of agreement between the ratepayers of the New Plymouth harbor district and the Board. The Board, recognising this, has not left a stone unturned in its endeavors to obtain alterations in the Bill, with the object of securing as far| as possible a maintenance in the law of the principles contained in the Board's compact with the ratepayers at the time of the passage of its Loan Act in 1908. Although the Board has hopes of secur--ing material alterations which will to a great extent meet its desires, unfortunately the provisions in the Bill in some respects are so radically opposed in principle to the existing state -of affairs that the Board has found it impossible to secure much beyond a mode of adaptation of the new order of things in what it considers the most practical way of conforming with the spirit of the 'compact with the ratepayers.
