DISPUTE OVER PLANS.
HARBOR BOARD WINS ACTION. By Telegraph.—-Press Association. Gisborne, April 28. The Court of Appeal continued the hearing of argument in the case between the Gisborne Harbor Board and George Henry Lysnar. The latter’s counsel, Mr. Burnard, cited further authorities in support of his argument that section 57 of the Harbors Act did not compel the Harbor Board to call public tenders for work of the type referred to in the board’s contract with Lysnar. After Mr. Myers had replied, Sir Robert Stout stated that the Court was of the opinion that section 57 of the Harbors Act, 1918, was mandatory, but the reasons of the Court would be put in writing. The result of this expression of opinion by the Court will be that the appeal by the Gisborne Harbor Board will be allowed and the contract between Lysnar and the board declared invalid.
