NAPIER, this day. A. deputation from the Napier Harbour Board waited on the Premier yesterday att°™oon with reference to the Lrovernment vote in aid of protecting the beach at Western Spit. Mr Seddon explained that the vote was a moiety one, which meant that the Government would grant £i for £1 expended by the Harbour Board. When he arrived in Wellington «i Cabinet meeting would be held, and the £3500 promised by the Government would be passed, but the audit department might step In and say they could only authorise it on the basis of £1 for £1 expended. Mr F. W. Williams, chairman of the Harbour Board, pointed out that the money had been spent in anticipation of the Government grant, to which Mr Seddon replied that unless the audit department objected the Board would receive their moiety subsidy on all money expended since the 31st March last.
