TIMARU’S HARBOR.
i DIFFICULTY OVER FINANCE. THE DEBIT INCREASING. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Timaru, Last Nighty At a meeting of the Timaru Harbor Board, the chairman reviewed the state of the finances. Last year resulted in a debit of £3OOO, and this year would probably see it doubled unless an increase of revenue was somehow provided. Dues on exports would be less, as the meat stores were empty. It was hopeless to look to loan money, and he suggested increasing all port charges. Other members opposed inerdasing the harbor rate. Dredging is costing over £9OOO a year, and as the channel is in good order it was decided to lay up the dredge. A special meeting will be held on March 4 to discuss finance.
