The advantage offered by the Port Christchurch scheme formed the theme ; of an address given by Dr. Thacker, M.P., to the: Workers' Educational As- . sociation. Dr. Thacker said it was in- ' tended to hold a large public meeting ' soon, when full details would be given of the proposed, canal or channel and harbor at the end of tho Canal Reserve. Tho new harbor, he said, would confor great benefit on the community. No city could expect to be prosperous with--1 out direct' communication from the sea, 1 j and with the resources of the district, ! Christchurch could become the greatest ; industrial centre m Australasia. Dr. ' Thacker briefly explained the lay-out 'jof the new channel and harbor,, by ' j which work, he said, much valuable : land . would be reclaimed, while , the ' j health of the community^ would be J greatly improved by drainage . and _ i sewage reforms. The Ltake -.Coleridge ' electric power could be utilised m many ' . ways, and with up-to-date equipment, | Port Christchurch^ would have an im- ' mehso future. The citizens would, save 1 large sums annually by the direct traffic ' service, the saying on ppal atone being 1 more than sufficient to pay the interest i on the cost of construction of the new j channel.
