TIMARU.
This day.
A woman named Mrs Morrison was found drowned in the river near Pleasant Point. She is supposed to have been crossing the river and was swept away.
The Committee of the Harbor Board are actively engaged in collecting evidence against Mr Blackett's report on the Timaru breakwater. The evidence will be forwarded to Parliament. All the local papers comment very strongly on the inconsistency displayed in Mr Blackett's statements, especially where he quotes Sir John Coode and Mr Carruthers, of Diinedin.
Over fifty persons attended a meeting last night to consider the Property Tax, and a resolution was carried almost unanimously in favor of the repeal of the tax as being unsuited to the colony.
