" Sib, —As I leave Shortland at 6 a.m. to-morrow morning, I shall be unable to attend the meeting of the Harbor Board. I consider the channel, as used the last 20 pears to my knowledge, should be adhered to. I believe it would be a great mistake to cut a straight channel, and I think it should be allowed to run the same course as before the last fresh.—l am, &c. Henby Dalton, Mastnr p.s. Te Aroha —F. C.
