NAPIER HARBOR
DREDGING AS ENTRANCE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Napier, Last Night. The following motion was carried unanimously at a meeting of the Napier Harbor Board to-day: ''That in order rtlmt doubts as to the origin of the sand bar referred to by Messrs. Maxwell, Williams, and Mason's reports, and in Mr. Geo. Nelson's harbor proposals, should be cleared up, and in order that the likelihood or otherwise of any channel dredged through such sand bar being wholly obliterated in heavy weather being given a series of practical tests, the board considers it desirable to charter a suitable dredge for three or six months for the purpose of dredging out a sufficient channel to show what effect heavy weather or floods would have upon it, and that the secretary be instructed to obtain all information by next meeting as to the terms on which a dredge can he obtained in the Dominion, and how soon."
