WELLINGTON HARBOUR BOARD.
MR FERGUSON RESIGNS. By Telegraph—Press Association. , WELLINGTON, October 18. ... Mr Wm. Ferguson, Secretary and Engineer to the Wellington Harbour* Board, has written to the Chairman resigning his position. He explains, that at a special meeting Board on the first inst. man ruled that it was 'not permissible for the Secretary to[lay his views before the Board without the unanimous consent of the members present at the meeting, a consent which on that occasion was withheld, with the result that the Board came to a decision on the matters before them without any opportunity having been given to its chief executive officer to place before the members those points bearing on the matters under discussion, which from his experience he thought it was desirable that members should have cognisance of. Mr Ferguson says when he joined the Board's service he was always asked to express his views freely. He has not abused the privilege, and is therefore reluctantly compelled to conclude that he has not the confidence and respect of a majority of the present members. While not desiring to criticise the Chairman's decision he feels the posit'oii laid down is an untenable one for him.
